Tips for illustrating height within photographs

by Tanya Puntti

Use a person in the photo to show height

A few months back my partner and I visited Yarrangobilly Caves in NSW, Australia. Both being avid photographers, it’s useful to return home and compare photographs. This time, there was a particular shot where my own image miserably failed to show the humongous size of the caves.  On the other hand, my partners photograph showed it perfectly, as demonstrated below.

As you can see, by placing a person in the scene helps to really keep the overall image in perspective. Now compare it to my photo below that doesn’t include a person. The actual entry to the cave itself looks quite small.
