Challenge # 3: Give depth to the picture

Hi friends, I hope you're fine?

I remind you that I find these exercises in the book of Anne-Laure Jacquart, photographer.

She suggests in her book to do a challenge a week to finish the exercise book after one year and to give us the time to assimilate the exercise and exploit it to the maximum so that's what I intend to do also more or less according to the weeks, it is not a race, it is an apprenticeship of the different techniques, ideas, inspirations that can use an amateur photographer and in love with the beautiful images.

I invite you to take your third photo challenge by taking one or more photos with the theme of deepening the image.

The purpose of this technique is to make the image deeper by adding in the foreground an object or a view that allows to give depth to the image or a path to follow to lead the eye to the object or the person.

Let's take my example of the little boy who walks on a path of my challenge #2 but this time, instead of putting it at the bottom of the image with the path in the foreground which then gives a dynamism to the photo, let's put the little one boy in the foreground with the path at the bottom of the photo.

This technique will give an impression of depth because we can observe a long path that continues to the horizon behind the little boy.

You will see an example below of a photo I took in a castle with thermal baths (I love spending a day in thalassotherapy with bubble bath, massage and a nice little meal), taking my cup of coffee in the foreground and showing a piece of the courtyard of this castle in the background, this gives a certain depth to the photo.

Depth that we would not get if we took the cup of coffee in the foreground with someone right in front of us who is at table with you.

Or this photo of my children in an amusement park where by taking the path of stone in the foreground it gives an impression of depth and it invites the eyes to follow him to reach the target photographed.

I invite you to share with me your essays; o)

I wish you a nice afternoon 🤗

See you soon for new photographic adventures
