How & Why <\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n

How . . . A photographer does this by adding in subjects in the foreground, middle ground, and background. However you can have more than just three layers making it more immersive. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why . . . Photographers do this so that the picture looks complete with the multiple layers. They also do this because the image will look more three-dimensional, which brings in a more real world aspect and way to study the photo. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

This image has about five layers. These include the blurred books at the bottom of the photo, another layer of clearer books, a ladder, shelves, and a window. These layers create what looks to be a three-dimensional room (deep). <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

The image above is my favorite layered image and is also my featured image. I love this photo because of how specified some of the subjects are and how it follows some of the rule of thirds. This image pops with green and pink\/purple and it also has a pleasing amount of depth and dimension. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
