Team GER - Extreme Close-Ups

Extreme close-ups often take photographs and crop, distort, slice, enlarge, decontextualize them and/or place an emphasis on the difference between the foreground and background of the image.

Extreme Close Ups try to have an in your face effect that really grabs the attention of viewers, and it also brings out intense details that might not have been seen before.

Close-ups on photographs show details and textures, as well as enhance the colors in the image. In this photo, you can clearly see the different colors of the dogs fur and eyes, as well as the texture of his nose, and his fur. The close-up provides a feeling that you know the dogs face would be very soft if you pet it.

Again, close-ups provide an amazing opportunity to show what could have been missed details. In people, close-ups show differences in hair, skin, and facial features. Far away, people may look similar. Up close, you can see just how different they really are.
