Photo notes 8/26
some genres that I think this photo is, is black and white, lanscape and product. This photo is really cool and has a lot of detail and i like the rocks in the front with the mountains in the back i thought that looked really nice. some elements of art i think are used in this photo are line because the mountains have lines on them, shape because the rocks have shape, form because the rocks are kind of 3D, texture because you can really see the rough texture on the rocks and mountains, value because the black in white are in all differnt shades, and space because you can see all the rocks get from biggest to smallest which creates positive and negitive space depth.
F-stop Guitar
this photo is really cool. i really like how this photo looks Im pretty sure its a picture of a guitar. I think the f stop aperture was f8 because the picture gets a little blury down the guitar, f8 makes the background of pictures blury. two elements of art i see are color because theres color in the picture and space because theres negative and positive space depth.
Sabastiao Sagado
This photo is really cool, i think this photo shows great emotion with the black and white color and the facial expressions. this photo sows plenty of princibles of design. For example this shows contrast and ballance asymety cause shes kind of off to the side. this picture has lots of princibles of design. for example this picture shows value with the differnt black and whites, it also shows form and line.
Kersey Family Photo
this childs face tells me two things. one that she is not happy and two that she is like why are you taking pictures of me. i mean i dont know her family so i dont know if they would frame it or not but i think its a good photo so sure why not. lots of things make a good portrait like how the people look and what props are in the photo and the background. some adjustments i think you made are making the background blury so the the mom and the kid are the main focus of the portrait.
Steve McCurry
a bunch of pictures were taken at a refuge camp in afganistan a few years ago. These pictures were great and show alot of emotion its really sad to see how sad and depressed these people were there was hardly any happy ones.these pictures really inform the viewer on how there way of life was and how it was a war area so children with guns wasnt weird. i think this type of journalism can help the people because it brings awarness to their way of life and maybe someone will see the pictures and want to help out.
