Phil Borges
The vantage point of this photograph is depicted as at level with the subject (child). This captures the shallow depth of field and focuses on the face and emotions of the subject. The subject is shown to be in the center of the image.
Altaf Qadri
This photograph seems to be an up-close portrait where the photographer has to get right in front of their subject in order to capture that amount of detail. The depth of field is very shallow in this image and the background is completely blurred out. Once again, the subject is in the middle of the image.
Dani Diamond
The vantage point in this image seems to be low where the subject's head is cut off at the top. The depth of field is about medium because the foreground and the background are blurred indicating that the aperture is only about half way open. This subject is places in the rule of thirds to add on additional drama and emotion.
Ann Nevreva
The vantage point in the image shows that they are at level with the subject at a perfect distance. The entire desired part of the subject is in the frame. The depth of field is shallow in the sense that the background is blurred out, but still able to show minor details enough to pick up where the subject is and the environment. he subject placement is in the rule of thirds, but only so slightly. She is still in the center for the most part, but leaning more to the left.
