Using and creating the illusion of depth, while quiet tricky, can be extremely compelling and can really make an image pop.

Here are some of this weeks images I found!

James Bennett, Workbook 32, pg 391
This image by James Bennett has a great sense of depth. Notice how Luke Skywalker, and the other guys at bar in the Mos Eisley cantina are in rendered more clearly, but the foreground and background are blurred. The woman in the front is larger than all the other figures, so our mind reads her as being closer, even though she is not in focus. The two aliens seen in the back aren't as in focus, and they are smaller than the figures in the midground. Therefore our minds read them as farther in the back.







 
Robert Hunt, Workbook 32, pg 475

In this image by Robert Hunt, the sense of atmospheric perspective is very strong. The woman is the only thing in focus, and mostly her face and the details around her head are the most contrasted. The background is basically just a few blurs. This makes the woman stand out all the more.















 
Steve James, Workbook 32, pg 462
 This image by Steve James does a lot of what the other two images I have shared. The giant snake and the little girl are in more detail and rendered in darker values while the mountain, the tree, and the other figure aren't rendered as darkly. This makes the snake and the girl really stand out in the image.
