Working with Scale.
Today, we're diving into a super cool concept that can transform your images: scale. It's all about how big or small objects appear in relation to each other, and it's a powerful tool for storytelling.
Renaissance Center Atrium: The sheer size of the building could symbolize a new journey.
Belle isle willow trees: In this golden-hour shot the trees and light frame the couple.
Horseshoe Bend cliff edge: This VAST canyon emphasizes how tiny we are in this world.
St. Alphonsus Catholic Church in Grand Rapids: The high-angle Vantage Point in this shot is key.
Black Rocks Lake Superior: Gazing out at the expansive lake gives feelings of endless possibilities.
Dancing under trees on Belle Isle: All the green adds a sense of intimacy & environment.
Marty Leonard Community Chapel: The architecture provides a series of frames within frames, adding depth.
Capital Park Rooftop Detroit: The bright yellow railing guides the viewer's gaze up to the Detroit skyline.
By thoughtfully considering scale, photographers can influence our perception, evoke emotions, and help to tell a deeper story. Thanks for watching.
