Italy 2002
Monogram
This Photograph was taken by Terri Weifenbach in Italy of 2002. Before becoming a photographer Terri Weifenbach studied painting. Both practices are shown in her image, the way she captures the world with her own ideas within a picture frame, just like someone would in a painting. Something she calls "photographic". Terri is known for her technique that she uses for her tilt shift lens, that creates a defocussed depth of field. This image taken from the "Lana" series is a simple yet beautiful image it shows blur in the background, and the sharp focus on the subject helps the subject in the middle ground stand out. The image turns our focus to the depth of field, the color and the negative space around the subject. This image shows a sense of space that has both concepts similar to painter's practices and photographic elements. What I like about this image is the depth of field on the background and foreground that gives it a dreamy atmosphere that is created with a blur.
