Intimate Close-Ups: Photographs of Invading Personal Space
Believe it or not, photographs can speak volumes, especially when they’re trying to close invade the viewer’s personal space. Make an illusion of nearness and intimate distance by taking particularly-focused close-up shots; the technique allows the viewer to easily imagine the distance and ‘realness’ of the subject, becoming more emotional and attached.
Take these photographs from the Lomography community as examples of how they managed to close in the distance between subject and viewer.
