Creative Staged + Depth of Field

50mm 1/125 f11 ISO200

I wanted to challenge myself for this Depth of Field photo blog. I feel that it is easiest to convey depth of field when you having leading lines and narrow spaces. As such, I challenged myself by taking my photo in an open space, a less clearly “deep” environment. In doing this, my main tool for conveying depth would be staging my models further apart, showing that there is distance between them.

Deadly Sins

50mm 1/125 f8 ISO800

For this assignment, I chose the deadly sin of sloth. I staged my friends Renee and Dayva to be laying down, relaxed. I wanted to portray that, even though each of them is in the company of a friend, they aren’t taking advantage of that companionship. Instead, they are lazing around.
