Length and Width.
These are the only two dimensions to a photograph.
How then, in our work, can we create an illusion of that third dimension - Depth?
There are three ways you can trick the eye into believing that there really is a space you can step into, hidden right within your picture:
- Separate the foreground from the background, as much as possible
- Connect the foreground with the background physically : perhaps a floor, a wall, or a roof bridges the two spaces
- Lead from the foreground to the background, with lines running along your bridge
Try this trio of tricks and you'll see that you can make your 2D photos look like 3D!
Happy Photographing!!
