Photography Technique Examples

Annie Leibrovitz photography Aperture approx. – f/5.8

Annie Leibrovitz Aperture approx. – f/ 2.8 I believe this is of a low aperture as the background is completely out of focus and we cannot see beyond the model.

Short depth of field

A short depth of field creates a main focus in a picture, which is usually a small amount, and the rest is blurred and out of focus.

Mario Testino, Dior Fall 2012Aperture f/32I believe this has a high aperture as everything is in focus and the background is in the distance yet clear and in focus.
