This is where, within this picture, I used the Rule of Thirds, where the little red man is offset from the center to the right side of the frame fordynamic balance. Open space around the figure develops a feeling of isolation, and the background gives a sense of disconnection from the setting. The little red man was standing alone on the table; thus, he is disconnected and lonely, even from “society.”
In this shot, I tried to shoot with perspective technique by putting the little red man from a straightforward angle but from slightly lower than the level of his height-so he would look much bigger and significant in the frame. The straight-on view is in opposition to the previous shot when he was lonely in some more or less neutral space. The surrounding emptiness increases the feeling of vastness, further highlighting the red man against the expansive background. His slight turn to the right brings a subtle dynamic, giving him movement and depth.
The little red man stands right in front of the camera, and the shot was taken with a straightforward perspective. In this technique, the subject is supposed to stand right in the middle of the frame while the lines and space around him lead the viewer’s eye to the red figure. Simplicity in perspective puts the man across as more straightforwardly seen, grounding and clear into his isolation, presence within this composition, and all attentiveness focused upon him to tell of his lonely existence, separated into an empty backdrop.In this shot, I used both perspective and negative space by photographing the little red man from above, looking down, which made him appear even smaller against the great white background. The expanse of empty space surrounding him creates the impression of an empty space that reinforces the separation and loneliness. While this Negative Space focuses the attention on the Red Man, as the centerpiece with the white areas exaggerating the aloneness in addition to his vulnerable entity in the frame.
