This week’s Daily Post Photo Challenge is to shoot the same scene in both landscape and portrait orientations. The terms “landscape” and “portrait” imply what we can expect from a shot, and to an extent how we read a series – moving from the establishing landscape shot which provides context – to the portrait which invites us to appreciate detail.
Mostly, that’s what I’ve done – but there are a couple of exceptions!
Sculpture; Te Papa, Wellington

Great gallery of photos. I am drawn to the closeups, the details. They feel more personal and are more artistic in my opinion.

Hi Lily. Thanks for visiting and for your comments. I agree; I love close-up shots because they really allow both photographer and audience to engage with a subject – without background distraction. Having said that though, I always tend to take establishing shots first if only to remind me of where I was. 🙂
