Week #1 Photos
1. The light coming from the car in front of us cast a cool shadow across the driver's face. I really like how low key lighting creates drama and mystery and that was what I wanted the photo to convey. There's something really sad about it, and that's nice.
2. I really liked the yellow tint the light was casting on this road map. I also was intrigued by the angle and how it created deep space in a way I wasn't expecting.
3. I liked the lines created in this photo. The contrast of the white snow and white light post was really pretty against the black night. It's kind of lonely and created a sense of isolation.
4. I walked outside and thought my backyard looked like a postcard you'd find at a skii lodge in the Alps or something. I tried to take a picture that would capture that peace I felt, and I think it worked for the most part. I wish I had maybe not kept the sun in frame, but I think it's idyllic and peaceful enough.
5. I took this photo because I liked the way the porch light lit up the stairs and nothing else around it. You can't see the rest of the world from this one light, and that's dark and melancholic to me.
I love love love the red light in the first photograph. I think it's interesting because in art history and probably just plain history, red lights have intrinsic connotations. It could also be interesting to see just a little more of his face/cut out the blown out section on the right so we can focus even more on our subject. Nice work—it makes me want to experiment with colored lights!
ReplyDeleteYour backyard is very peaceful! And I agree that the sun is strong. If it were in the corner more it would be less strong, but honestly I do like it in the frame! It makes it pop!
ReplyDeleteFirst pic is AWESOME!! It reminds me of something from Drive or Nightcrawler. Really cool use of color.
ReplyDelete#3 actually looked kind of creepy to me. I thought #5 was more of a lonely shot. The solitary light surrounded by darkness. It's ordinary yet emotional. I can't quite put my finger on it, but I like it. #4 is also very pretty.
