Photographer: Matthew Klein

History: Matthew works in commercial photography, including food and commercial products. He started his company in 1968 and his privately owned. Klein likes to take pictures of food, whether it be sweets or things would wold find on a breakfast table. These pictures often see macro. 

Style: Matthew’s style of photography is advertising- food advertising

Samples: 

My idea: I wanted to copy some of the ideas he did with the sweets. For example, I was going to use oreos and chocolate chip cookies for my project. I want to replicate the picture of the oreo with the crums all around it, but I will add more cookies into the picture.

Rule of Thirds:

The rule of thirds states that the human eye is natually drawn to a point two-thirds up the page. The main focal points and subjects are placed in an intersection of the thirds. Landscapes are examples of pictures that use the rule of thirds.

Diagonal Rule:

One side of the picture is divided into two parts. Then each half is divided into thirds. The diagonal rule helps make pictures look more dynamic.

Leading Lines:

Leading lines are used to draw the eye to a focal point and through the picture. These lines are used to create a narrative of the compostion.

Frame Within a Frame:

Frame within in a frame make the viewer look far and wide. The frame within the frame focuses on the main point of the picture.
