depth of field- vee speers

depth of field is the amount of distance between the  closest and furthest,away objects in the photography. if you focus on an object, be it close to the lens, far from the lens, as the objects become further away from focal point start to become blurred and less focused, drawing attention the the focal point more.

FACTUAL: this is a photograph from the Australian photographer, now living is Paris, one of the many photos in the 'immortal' series
CONTEXT: The photographs in the 'immortal' are to represent the time stopping and preserving time and moments in a persons life
TECHNICAL: I don't know whether these photographs are actually taken in the area of the background or whether it is just a backdrop. Looking at the person in the photograph makes it look like she is not in the area, but i think it might just be the light and the making up on the person, i think it is meant to look like that though.
AESTHETIC: I like this photograph due to the way the colour in the model and the background are so different, and also the model looks so natural, no flash make up or anything, kind of 'at one with the background' in some sense.
