Inclined Planes: The Art of Using Landscape in Photography
Using a scenic landscape as a background for photography can be a great way to add depth and interest to a shot. Kylie Jenner’s photo, which features her standing in a two-piece swimsuit against the backdrop of a mountainous landscape, is a prime example of this technique. The curve of the hillside creates a stunning visual effect that draws the eye and highlights her figure. However, the inclusion of a foldable chair in the shot seems out of place and detracts from the overall effect.
To create a more realistic and visually appealing shot, using a mat with an Aboriginal design could have been a better choice. This would have complemented her swimwear and added a unique touch to the photo. It’s important to consider the environment and surroundings when taking photos in nature, as safety should always be a top priority. Sitting on a chair on an inclined plane can be dangerous, as Celeste found out in her photo. By carefully selecting props and being mindful of the terrain, we can create stunning and impactful photos that showcase both the beauty of the landscape and the subject.
