LO1: Comparing photographs

Here I shall be comparing the photographs of the three photographers I have previously analysed. These photographs (top to bottom) were taken by Duncan Philpott, Paul Harries and Martin Parr

Comparison

All of these photographs are landscape. Duncan does this to demonstrate the leading lines in the road. Martin and Paul however use this shot to give the viewer a full view of the subjects within the frame.

Both Duncan and Paul use black and white filters in their images to bring out the dark tones in their images. But Martin Parr uses a variety of vibrant colours in his image.

Paul Harries and Martin Parr both use a shallow depth of field to make the subjects in the foreground very clear to the audience. However, Duncan uses a deep depth of field to show where exactly the 'leading lines' are leading to.
