Framing Images

    Extreme close up- An extreme  close up is of a persons face, this is only showing her face and nothing else this is good for showing expression of the face in good detail


Close up- A close up is a head and shoulder shot, this is good for showing a small bit of body language, it is mostly used for identity photos such as passport and more.









Medium close up- A medium close up is showing the waist upwards, this image is perfect for a college magazine shot because you cam still see the persons facial expression but you have a bit more body language as well. This is also good if you want to add props into the image.





Long Shot- A long shot is good for taking a picture of someones whole body including the feet, this is not very good if you want to capture facial expression as the camera is furthur away than the other shots.

    High Angle- A high angle shot is good if the photographer wants to be looking down on the subject. They may want to capture something that is on the floor or have the subject lying down looking up.

     



Low Angle- A low angle is good if you want to make the person look bigger, or if a sign is behind the figure that you want in the image which is higher than them you can do a low angle to try and capture it behind them.

                                                   
    Two Shot - A two shot is where you have two people in the image instead of just one, this could be good for a group image of two people studying together.



Image Framed to the Left - An image framed to the left means that the figure will be stood on the left hand side of the screen and you may have something in the background that you want in the image as well so thats on the right hand side of the screen.









Image Framed to the Right- Very similar to image framed to the left however the photographer might want something on the left hand side of the figure/ subject instead.
     








Centeral Image- This is where the figure is stood in the centre of the image with space around them. This is good for capturing background as well as the figure.
