The two photographers that took these two images, has framed the subject in the middle and taking most of the space in the frame. I believe they did this so the people that view these images are to think how perfect and flawless their face are. The vantage point is up close and personal. This depth of filed is shallow depth of field. It is shallow because, they are close, like a wall. Again the placement is centered.

These two photos vantage point is dynamic angle, a clever way to take portraits. The depth of field for both of these photos are shallow depth of field. The placement of the subject were to lead to the face and focus on the face. While the two photographer has put the subject in a unique way to lead to their faces.
