Portfolio 4
1: Basic information
Jim Richardson is a photographer
Analysing a photographer
known for his pictures produced in the
National Geographic paper. His work
takes him around the world to take
beautiful photos of nature.
3: camera settings
The main tool the artist has used is
aperture which controls the focus in
the image. A very low aperture would
have been used to create a blurred
background and focused foreground.

2: Visual qualities
This photo shows a close up perspective of a horses face
with the background unfocused and another horse in the
background. I really like this image as I think the focus on
nature is really beautiful and shows the animal from an
interesting angle. The entire composition of the photo using
rule of thirds is different to other nature photos. The
background shows the whole body of the animal while the
foreground is very focused on just the face. The viewer is
connected with the eye of the horse. The focus is in the
right of the frame and gradually lessens the further left you
get. This and the angle of the horse draws focus across the
image from the eye of the horse, through the centre and to
the horse in the background. The photo has clear texture
from the animal and is smooth in the rest of the frame.
4: My work
I will relate this to my work
when I use aperture in my
shoot. I will be
photographing objects with
an unfocused, blurred
background like the artist
does in his shoots.
