Masters of Photography - Robert Frank

Robert Frank (1924-  ) was born in Switzerland.  He is an American photographer who mainly takes photos of American life.  Not only is he a photographer; however, he was also a film director.  Frank's most notable work was The Americans, which was a book of photos of American society.

We chose this photographer because I thought his photos were very unique, and they show the qualities of American life.  His photos are inspiring because they depict real life.

Shallow Depth of Field Assignment

In depth of field, the subject is in focus and everything else is blurrier.  This effect makes the subject stand out more.

Avoid the Middle

We do not have to use the Rule of Thirds so much. Instead we can just avoid the middle of the frame.

Rule 1: Avoid the Middle

Rule 2: Rule of Thirds

Rule 3: Fill the Frame

Rule of Thirds

In the rule of thirds, the subject of the photo must be at the intersections of two imaginary lines.  The imaginary lines create a 3x3 grid, 9 boxes total.  The rule of thirds will make the subject of the photo pop out.

Fill the Frame
By filling the frame, the picture would not look empty.  The subject(s) will be more noticeable too.
