Tilt Shift Photography



Tilt-shift photography refers to the use of camera movement on small- and medium-format cameras, and sometimes specifically refers to the use of tilt for selective focus, often for simulating a miniature scene. Sometimes the term is used when the shallow depth of field is simulated with digital post processing.

Macro Project










       We were set the task to pick a method of photography in the past lessons and asked to reproduce some photographs of our own choosing. I have chosen to keep a theme in my photographs of stationary. I placed the subjects on plain paper in-keeping with the theme and tried to vary the light as much as possible. On some of the pictures I used a strong directional light and on others an ambient table lamp to create both sharp and soft shadows. I used Photoshop and Lightroom to edit the pictures.

Architectural Photography is the study of photographing buildings or similar structures in an interesting way. The key to a good architectural photograph is to look at the building in a different way than what is usually done, for example standing close to the wall looking straight up, or from the roof looking down. Elements featured heavily in this type of photography is line and shape.
