With depth of field it is very important that you create the best effects you can so that your main focus is only on one thing. Instead of having loads of things crammed into a background make it blurred so that when we look at the photo our eye is drawn into the main aspect. This photo shows us this.
Definition: Depth of field is the distance between the nearest and furthest object that appears in the photograph. The nearest object is sharp and clear and is the main focus whereas the background is blurry but still visible.
Factual: This photo is by the American photographer Annie Liebovitz. It is a retaken scene from the Disney movie Cinderella.
Context: This photo is of Scarlett Johansson. By her dress we can see that she has just been to a ball. In this photo we cant see where she is going to so this makes us think where she may be heading?
Technique: In this photo i don't think that Scarlett is actually in this photo i think it is just a backdrop because the background looks animated I think this photo has been photo shopped because it looks very clear and sharp just to be taken by a camera. I think Annie wanted the background to look animated but also add real features to it.
Aesthetics: In this photo the steps make the photo look like it has a very deep depth of field because they look like they are never ending. Even though Cinderella is the main focus in this photo your eye still looks back at the castle making it have a good depth. I like the animated effect it has on the castle because it it blurry but we are able to see it like it is very clear. Even though Cinderella is the main focus, because of the lighting we cant help but notice the shoe placed on the stairs.
There are 3 direct relationships with depth of field. 1) the diaphragm opening of the lens. 2) the focal point of the lens in use. 3) image size (it has a direct relation to distance.)
