In this written essay, I chose some photos which were shot by TG KYE, who is a Korean photojournalist.
1, The first photo I chose is about a boy who is jumping. Probably, he is jumping on a high hill, but TG did not shoot the hill that seems like the boy is flying. I think this photo is interesting and catches my eyes because it feels like a freedom. The visual field is wide, and the pose of the boy is also wide that he is stretching his arms and legs. In addition, he takes off his shirt and wears a very loose pants can also express that he does not have any constraint, that he is free. Furthermore, I like the proportion use of the photo that the two third is the sky and the rest is a far land. Also, the boundary of the landscape just fit the boundary of the boy that is distinguished by his naked upper body and dressed bottom body.
The second photo I chose is a landscape with a sea of sunflowers. Usually, when people see sunflowers, they think about sunshine and positive energies. However, this photo expressed the opposite. The photo has an obvious boundary that divided the photo in two parts. The upper is the gray sky, and the bottom is destroyed sunflowers. Those sunflowers might just experience a storm that lots of them fall down. It also can imply some negative things such as people are not smooth going in their lives. However, there is a little bit sunlight shine down that can imply the bad thing is passing by, and the good thing is coming. The powerful point in this photo is that TG shot it in black and white, it not only can clearly express the theme, but also can bring a lot of imaginary space to people. And, this is why it moves me.
The third photo I chose is a street scape in a snow day. It catches my eyes is b...

...ht and people together that the woman is directly under the sunlight while is not too dazzling to the person in the photo. Also, it can make the photo powerful.
The last photo I chose is about a moonscape. It catches my eyes because of the color. If you use your hand to cover the moon and the moonlight area, you can clearly see the transform of the color, from dark which is top to light which is bottom. The photographer turns the flashlight on to make this happen. It makes a strong contrast to the beach and the ocean. Also, beaches really catch the viewers’ attention because it is light. However, when you move your hand, the feeling might be different, you might move your eyes to the moon and how the moonlight reflects to the sky and sea level. You can see how cloudy the night is. Therefore, adding moon in the photo can enrich the photo and make it powerful.
Wayne, transforms this painting into a three dimensional abstract piece of art. The focal point of the painting are the figures that look like letters and numbers that are in the front of the piece of art. This is where your eyes expend more time, also sometimes forgiving the background. The way the artist is trying to present this piece is showing happiness, excitement, and dreams. Happiness because he transmits with the bright colours. After probably 15 minutes on front of the painting I can feel that the artist tries to show his happiness, but in serene calm. The excitement that he presents with the letters, numbers and figures is a signal that he feels anxious about what the future is going to bring. Also in the way that the colors in the background are present he is showing that no matter how dark our day can be always will be light to
I selected this picture because as soon as I walked into the Evans wing it jumped right out at me. The painting's huge size and grandeur drew my attention. I like the use of bold colors and strong details. The painting evokes an image of power with the muscled Automedon holding two giant horses.
The portrait of the boy has a frontal vantage point with his body centered and balanced on at all angles. This shows the expression on the boys face and the size of the boys body, which is important to the title of the work. When looking at the photograph the eyes are immediately drawn to the boys face and grin.
of the scene within the story is equally important… The light that establishes the mood of
From across the room I could see the bright yellow, pink and red flowers. Taking some steps forward there was even more to like. The overall appearance is a depiction of everyday life. The setting is outside in a grassy area. The sky looks grey but is turning brighter. There is a house in the country whose owner is in the front milking a cow. There is a dead tree that stands bear in the center. The objects that appear closest are a broken fence and the intensely bright colored flowers. All of the objects seem animated and do not seem realistic. The clouds are grey and sharp. Making the viewer feel that something is wrong. It looks like a storm was just taking place. The wind blew the clouds away and is still blowing the grass to the right.
I have the desire to photograph. I go out with my camera. I come across something that excited me emotionally, spiritually, aesthetically. I see the photograph in my mind’s eye and I compose and expose the negative. I give you the print as the equivalent of what I saw and felt.
Photography provides us with an easy way of capturing the world around us. In our today’s society photographs are taken by almost anyone with access to a cellphone, and are able to turn any moment into a physical object. These still images of our world are passed along almost instantly though the help of social media, messaging, and in person sharing.

I selected these two works basically because they reminded me of home. Living in Iowa my whole life, being the daughter of a farmer, as well as living on a farm, have made scenes like these give me a sense of home and comfort. Gary Bowling’s piece especially attracted my attention because it seemed as if I had seen that same scene
Whether it be a description of the weather and the trees, the night sky, or the birds themselves, du Maurier manages to flip the story's mood in an instant, all with just a few, simple words. With imagery, the reader is able to imagine what the scenery of a story is like, and unknowingly, it can shape your emotions completely, making the reader feel happy one second, and sad the next. Even by just looking outside right now, it's clear to see that a dark, pitch black sky would make someone feel completely different than something more soothing, like a pink, pretty sunset. As once stated by Tracy Sabin, "Creating visual imagery is a state of mind. It involves the reproduction of what we see. But much more than that, it becomes an outlet to express feelings about what we experience." While in this quote it states that authors use imagery in a sort of diary like fashion, it is thew reader's job to put their words into picture and make their text create something actually meaningful. It is their obligation as readers to take these words of imagery and actually imagine. To picture. To understand. To
The photo has been taken outdoors on a dirt path that is leading to a forest. On the dirt path, there are the three children which make it more pleasing to the eye and also ties the image together. The girl in the middle facing towards the camera is the subject matter this is because she has eye contact with the camera and because of the intense brightness of her dress, which leads you to look straight at her. The middle girl’s hair is left messy even though she is dressed neatly this adds texture and realism to the photo because people can relate and upstand what it feels like, so views now have more of a connection the image. The tone of this image is a tad gloomy because of the darkness of the forest. The contrast in this image is not high because the elements of the picture all hold sameness. This image has a shallow depth of field which is
1. Burtynsky’s work was truly captivating to me. I liked how in his work he really focuses in on the details to capture the story around the subject he chose. In his work, I also enjoy how right away I get this visual connection and, it’s engaging because it makes me wonder and question his intentions of what he decided to photograph. When I immerse myself into his work, it fascinates me. It almost gives me a pleasant feeling to look at his work because it’s beautiful to me but, then again I try to make of why he decided to capture this. It’s almost like I’m seeing a behind the scenes of what goes on in nature and by looking at this other side, I do lament to what this world has come and, how us humans have changed things since the beginning
The most striking aspect of the piece at first glance is the perspective. The geometric perspective gives the scene a palpable sense of depth
Photo five: My cross country uniform sticks out against the scenery. This photo brings a smile to my face as I remember all of the laughs I’ve had during cross country. This pieces strength results from the amount of heart I injected. I was able to add a specific story that helped support my ideas so it wasn’t just a proclamation.
