Here is another image where the operator are relatively close in size relationship. This photo was shot for a high tech companies AR, and was fun and colorful. First, it…

There are many other visual approaches. Here the CEO wished to be photographed with their flat screen products in the studio and this look almost like a portrait shot.

Here is a perfect reason for the wide angle lens and another example of a large foreground leading to the subject.
Lesson 29: Page 16
I call this compositional approach ‘shooting through’. Here you are looking through something the encapsulates the composition. It is similar to framing in some ways, but really is looking through…

I call this ‘hide-a-light’ and love to do this. This is a furnace that was being installed and the client wanted to show this. So how could I be creative?…
