- flatness
- 3D world is transformed to 2D photograph
- photograph is a 2D representation of the 3D world
- relationships created in the image that did not exist before because photographs have no depth perception
- opaque photos - viewer is stopped by the visual plane
- transparent - viewer is drawn into the space within the photograph
- frame
- frame encloses the content of the photograph all at once
- for some pictures, the frame is active (the structure of the picture begins with the frame & works inward)
- time
- affected by 2 factors;
- duration of the exposure
- static nature of the final image
- fluid world is stilled into photograph
- length of time that is captured is dependent on the shutter speed
- focus
- camera creates hierarchy that controls what the viewer focuses on in the image
- camera creates single plane of focus, this plane is parallel with the picture plane & gives emphasis to a part of the picture and helps distill a photograph's subject from content
- hierarchical emphasis can be minimized by increasing depth of field (focus lessening on foreground and background)
Organizing a Picture
- vantage point
- frame
- focus
- time
