Max Dupain style photos - style 6


Aperture: f/4
Shutter Speed: 1/40
ISO: 200

Date: 8/8/16
Time: 10:40 - 12:40 pm

Analysis: The photo was taken from the Solomon stairs looking upwards towards the classroom. This gave the photo some leading lines and shows depth and 3D dimensional figures by placing the camera level to the start of the stairs. There aren't any shadows and the subject has the dark colours and this gave the composition a dank and gloomy feel. The focal point of the photo is the top of the stairs meeting the board outside of the classroom. This composition represents a Max Dupain style image through the dramatic dark feel that it has and the effective use of architecture of the stairs combined with the minimal shadows created from the sun outside. This is an important feature as it brightens the composition and contrasts the dark shadows. The image demonstrates the compositional rules and guidelines like "rule of thirds" and "30-60-10". 

Rule of Thirds: The composition is split evenly into the rule of thirds and the middle square fits the focal point of the composition.

30-60-10: The 10% of the railing on the left side of the composition, 30% is the right wall on the right side of the compositon and the 60% of the middle is the middle of the composition.

  1. Not of the same standard as the majority of images presented. Horizontal lines should aligned with the composition.
