Fine Art Photography--Ali Bailey

This photograph caught my eye at first because of the stark contrast in the shadows and the man with his back to us. It was interesting to me how the shadows formed the lines splitting the photograph into a 2 by 3 vertical composition. Further looking at it, i really liked the use of depth of field, making the unimportant chain blurry and focusing on the man leaving. The concentration on shadow and focus makes this a strong photograph for me.

I chose this photo because the photo doesn't blend. everything sticks out to me. from her dotted shirt to the scales on the fish. and of course how the fishes eyes appear to be her eyes, the face seems as one. the background also seems to be faded out.

I chose this photo because of all the different lines and geometric shapes it has. My eyes are first drawn to the door and then the two chairs and then over to the sign shaped like a fish. I also like the reflection of the house on the water.  The reflections extend the lines created by the white poles. I also like the use of sunlight and shadows.

I liked this photo because it has interesting composition. First of all, we see a boy in the center of the photo. Then our attention goes down to another boy and a list of paper next to him. These three objects create a triangle which is in contrast with three horizontal lines. These lines separeate shades of gray from the lightest on the top to the darkest. It is also seen in the skin color. Our attention is kept between boys because of the "eye conflict". We "read" the photo from the left to the right, but boys are looking to the left.

Fine Art Photography -- Brita Ness

The composition of this photo, while simple, utilizes concrete design principles. The person's upper body (head and torso) falls along one of the imaginary lines that divide the composition into thirds and the small stick in the figure's outstretched hand falls along/close to another vertical one-third marker. Diagonals formed by the figure's arms and legs direct the viewer's focus to the tiny object (maybe a cigarette?) in her hand. The color/value of the background works effectively to provide the right amount of contrast against the figure's dark skin, light hair, and heavily-textured white dress. Cracked and dirty, the wall provides a sense of "place"and context for the portrait without distracting the viewer's attention from the primary subject. Despite the fact that figure's position is relatively static, it exudes tension; the way in which she holds her arm, balances on her toes, and glances over her shoulder gives the viewer the sense that the photographer has captured the subject in a moment that will quickly change. I would guess that this photo was taken with a normal lens because the image appears relatively flat and lacks distortion.
