This document discusses vanishing points and perspectives in photography. It explains that a vanishing point is where lines converge to a single point on the horizon as they recede into the distance. One-point perspective has one vanishing point, two-point perspective has two, and three-point perspective has three. Students are assigned to take 6 photos outside their home challenging themselves with different angles, like worm's eye view from the ground or bird's eye view from above, and perspectives, capturing either small or large depths of field. They must submit contact sheets with all 6 photos and choose one to turn in individually by the deadline.

1. #4 VANISHING POINT PROJECT

2. WHAT IS A VANISHING POINT?
-The point at which a thing
disappears or ceases to exist.

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

5. • It’s also called perspective in art.
THIS IS ONE POINT PERSPECTIVE ….ONE VANISHING POINT

6. 2 point perspective = 2 vanishing points

7. 3 point perspective = 3 vanishing points

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

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

11. LESS obvious things –
shadows or parts of objects

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

13. • You can still capture vanishing points with
close-ups & shallow depth
Where are the vanishing points in
these two photos?

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

15. -Worms eye view
High and low camera angles

16. Worms Eye View – from ground level

17. Birds eye view –
From above

18. Birds eye view – Creates Unique Perspective
Can be Extreme….or not
