Close Up - Image Bank

In this image bank of Close Ups, they focus on a range of different parts of objects to exaggerate them and make them clearer for the viewer to see. The first two images use water droplets to close up on. The first image shows a piece of fruit, and a range of different droplets of water which are crisp and clear for the viewer. They're close up of the fruit and there is also close ups of the water droplets which are on them. The second image focuses mainly on the formal element of texture, as we can see the different lines on the leaf through the use of the formal element. However, the close up is also used to show the water droplets which is much larger than in the other image. In the background of both of the images, we can see the use of minimum depth of field which blurs out the other objects, which is a common factor in the close up images that I have studied. 

The other images in this image banks are close ups, perhaps taken with a Macro lens. The first is of a highly close up image, in which we see the inner core of a piece of fruit. The greatest level of details are present in this image, as we are shown all the different parts of the kiwi and make them appear much larger than they would be. In the second image, the sunflower is composition so that it is not central in the image, this allows us to get as close as we can to the sunflower without it losing focus and going blurry. The formal elements are much stronger through the contrasting yellow petals on the flower and the much darker centre of the image. You can also see each of the buds inside the centre, which are in depth and more present in the image. The third and fourth images are not as close up, however they are in comparison to the size of the object. For example, the cats face is a close up as the cats a much larger object in contrast to the other images in this bank.
