#4 VANISHING POINT PROJECT

WHAT IS A VANISHING POINT?

-The point at which a thing disappears or ceases to exist.

• Often found in long roads and tall buildings• Prominent leading line (directs your eyes).

• It’s also called perspective in art.

THIS IS ONE POINT PERSPECTIVE ….ONE VANISHING POINT

2 point perspective = 2 vanishing points

3 point perspective = 3 vanishing points

• What’s this? 1, 2, or 3 point perspective?

1 point

• SO, GET INVENTIVE! THERE’S ALWAYS A NEW PERSPECTIVE

LESS obvious things – shadows or parts of objects

• Will you capture large or a small depth of field?

small depth of fieldlarge depth of field

• You can still capture vanishing points with close-ups & shallow depth

Where are the vanishing points in these two photos?

• Yet, large depth of field allows for more of the frame to be seen – more than just the subject.
