Close up Image Bank

These two images show two different examples of close up photography on alternate scales. The first image features a close up of a man's entire face. The use of close up allows for more detail to be seen within the face of the person. Now the audience can see impurities in the face, as well as the texture of the skin. This would not be possible to obtain this amount of detail in a normal image. The second image is a more zoomed in close up of a person's face. Here we can see even more detail than we could in the previous image, bringing elements such as reflection into play, creating a more interesting end result.

Close up photography allows for a much more different range of results than a normal image could offer. This method of photography is usually utilised by photographers who look to capture small scale subjects such as plant life. Through this alternative approach, photographers are able to obtain a high level of detail within an image. We can use these images to observe details that are not commonly seen by the human eye and analyse the patterns that form within the structures. Close up photography can also be used on humans in order to highlight facial expressions, and impurities. The same patterns can be seen through photographs of iris's that could not be seen in a standard image.
