Image Bank- Personal Project- Close Ups

A massive area of close up photography is focused on bugs/insects this is because fine art photography is made to challenge peoples opinions, in the three photos to the left the bug are shown to look beautiful, however if you was to ask people their opinion of bugs they defiantly wouldn't say they was beautiful. Close ups of bugs allow you to see the details of the little creatures that you normally never see, it allows you to see things on camera that you don't always see in real life. 

This photo is a close up of water which captures the movement of water droplets. The colour of the water has changed because it has been reflected from the background onto the water making it look a variety of different colours. Due to the photo being a close up you can see the water rings that have been created. 







Another huge area of close up photography is taking close ups of fruit. There are a massive range of photos that have been taken of sliced fruit because of the vibrant colours and the textures of the fruit it makes the images look very pretty. The image on the left of the orange allows you to see the texture and the detail of the orange inside. The second image on the left is a beautiful vibrant red. The last photograph shows the texture of the fruit and its an extreme close up.  

 This image is a close up portrait. In this image a plain white background has been used and the model is facing directly at the camera. The lighting is very soft on her face and there are no shadows created from the lighting. The lighting highlights her features. Portrait close ups are another key part of the close up area in photography.

This image is a multiple imagery of close up pictures of eyes, The close ups allow you to see the detail in the eyes that you cannot see from just looking at eyes from a normal distance. This multiple imagery shows a contrast between all the different coloured eyes. 






 
 This image is an advertisement of Make-up, close ups are used massively when advertising make-up because they need it to look the best it can so people will buy it. This photograph allows you to see the different coloured eye shadow and the glossy lipstick, this is another example of a portrait. 

This image is a lose up of the inside of a blue flower, you an see the detail of the yellow inside and then the close up allows you to see the texture of the leaves. The blue vibrate colour of the flower makes the flower more interesting to look at. 

In this image you can see the models freckles due to the fact that it is a close up. The image shows the features in detail. The lighting is rather bright and highlighters her face and doesn't create any shadows. 

These four images are part of commercial photography, they are advertising a specific product to make it sell. Commercial photography involves close ups especially when it comes to advertising food because close ups make the food look more appealing to the audience. For example the two images of the burger are close up making it look big, tasty and attractive to the audience, therefore they will want to buy them.

This photograph is another close up of a flower. This image only includes half of the flower in the composition. You can also see water droplets sitting on the petals. You can see the change in colour on the petals, in the middle its lightly pink and then dark pink/purple towards the end.








These two images are close ups of butterfly wings, you can see the detailed patterns that are on the wings. The contrast is shown between the dark black and then the oranges and yellows. In the first image you can see that the body of the butterfly is fluffy. Due to the fact that the pictures are close ups you can see the shape of the wings and the outline is more clear. 

This photograph uses the close up technique, it makes the subject seem a lot bigger than it would in real life. You can also see the details within the subject and the little tinny rain droplets on the leaves. 

For this image, a close up of the centre of a flower which allows you to see the detail, that you would not normally see in an ordinary picture of a flower because the petals are normally the main focus of the picture. Whereas the centre is the subject in this image.

This photo shows the movement of something being dropped in water to make the water move. A close up has been used to take this photo so you can see the main focus of the image which is the water and not focus on the background. 

In this image a close up technique has been used to capture a wasp on a centre of a flower.By taking this photograph as a close up you can see the patterns and features of the wasp more clearly than you would if you was to take it further away. 

This photograph shows a close up of the inside of a flower, the use of a close up allows you to see all the little details.

In this photograph the use of a close up has been used, the water droplets are a lot bigger than they would seem in real life because the image has been zoomed into the specific subject.
