Deep Depth of Field & 55mm Lens

In the first photo, when I zoomed all the way out with the lens (to 18mm), I was able to see a more expanded background compared to the second photo. Also the depth of field was much more shallow in the first photo due to the lower number aperture. I honestly had a very hard time creating a second photo with a large number aperture and zoomed in lens (at 55mm). This was because none of the photos I took resulted in a composition that looked the same as the first one. This is due to the fact that the zoom of the lens changes the amount of compressed or expanded space in the photo, making them look completely different. In the first photo, you can see the entire street behind the subject, whereas in the second, you can only see the cars which were immediately behind the subject.

Oral Presentation Choice

My photographer of choice is Kenro Izu. He was born in 1949 is Osaka, Japan and started working in New York in 1970. He is primarily a still life photographer who has travelled the world for his work. What interests me is the versatility in his work. He photographs landscapes, portraits and still life that all have their own unique qualities. I find all of his work especially beautiful and his style resonates with me. Some examples of his work includes: Kenro Izu / Sacred Within: Bhutan 1 / 2002 / Platinum-Palladium Print Kenro Izu / Sacred Places: Egypt 107 / 1983 / Gelatin Silver Print Kenro Izu / Still Life: Still Life 189 / 1992 / Platinum-Palladium Print Kenro Izu / Blue: Still Life 851b / 2001 / Cyanotype Over Platinum-Palladium Print
