Getting to know your style - Assignment #1

Title: "Ke'e beach sunset"

Photographer: Stephanie Sawyer

I picked this image because I loved the lighting and colours such as the green moss at the front left, and the bright orange sun coming threw the black clouds, this is what really caught my eye looking at the picture.

Secondly I picked this image because of the point of view which is looking into the distance.  The image shows this because of the water going off into the distance, and instead of looking up into the sky, because of the clouds covering it, it makes your eye drawn to the illusion that you're looking into the distance.

Thirdly I picked this picture because I love landscape photography and this is a great picture for that type.

Lastly I picked this picture because of the way the picture was taken, it almost gives the illusion that the photographer was standing in the moss when she took this. I also think the image is outstanding and beautiful because of the location. 

Title: "Lemon"

Photographer: Heather Rivera

I picked this image because it's a fine art picture which is one of my favorite types of photography because there is so many different ways that pictures can be taken, and most fine art photography is creative and interesting to look at.  Secondly I picked this image because of the way that its staged.  I think that its very interesting to look at how it looks like a lemon got cut into 4 pieces and was falling.  I think this picture was either taken from above where the cut pieces of lemon were placed on a black sheet or table, or each piece was taken separate and photoshopped together. Thirdly I like how its such a basic picture of one item, but the bright yellow stands out against the black background which makes it pleasing to look at.  Lastly I like this picture because of the creativity put into it.

Title: "Drip"

Photographer: Laura Bello

I like this image because of the emotion that's put into it, the woman almost looks sad or scared because of the way her hands are places and the makeup that appears to look like it's dripping down her face.  Secondly I picked this picture because I like how the colours continue threw the whole picture, such as the little bit of colour in her hair, down to her makeup, than down to her hand.  I also think those two colours look very appealing together which makes me enjoy this image even more.  Thirdly I like this picture because  its like looking at a painting that is made into a photograph because a lot of photography is of just woman with not as dramatic makeup that you would not often see unless someone drew or painted it on paper. Lastly I like this image because it fills up the whole frame, and brings your eye from the top of the frame down to the very bottom where her hands are places which makes it very interesting to look at.
