Construction Compositions
Picture This! – Our Next Assignment
Sense Of Scale
How do photographers convey a sense of scale in an image? Often it’s by including a subject or object that is immediately recognizable alongside a larger or smaller object. Framing, choice of focal length, and point of view all play a part. By using all creatively we can exaggerate the relative size of objects within the frame to creative effect. In this month’s assignment, we are looking for just that combination and images that use visual scale as the main compositional element.
