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.
The lighting for this picture was absolutely perfect because it was getting dark and in my opinion darkness defines the projects. The darkness represents the mystery of fear within the community since the projects is known for drugs and violence. The people living within the community possibly fear the fact that their children have to grow up in that specific environment. Darkness is substantial and compelling. The second images shows the different side within Bedford Stuyvesant that many do not get to see through media. I specifically took this picture because it is the complete opposite of the first image. The image shows beautiful brownstone houses of various colors. These bright cool colors represent warmth within the community. These colors say the neighborhood is not all about crime and violence but beauty within. This image gives a whole new perspective to people who have never visited within Bedford Stuyvesant and has only seen what the media portrays. The colors of the houses give life and a sense of personality to the neighborhood. Bedford Stuyvesant is truly one of the most beautiful neighborhoods I have ever
Why I picked this picture? Simply because I appreciate Prevalence of Ritual: Tidings by: Romare Bearden. Just from knowing about his work from previous art classes he based his art work on real life situations. In most times it was things he actually went through in his own life as young boy. His art work just isn’t any piece of work it has value. To me every inch of this picture has its own
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.
John Fielder takes amazing shots and I love how he takes it of nature because I love to explore the outdoors and discover new places. One of my favorite photos by him is Ice lake James Peak Wilderness near winter park. I really love the colors in this photo they look really amazing and the photo. It captures the sunrise makes it look like a breath taking view. The photo really follows the one thirds rule. It draws a person attention to the middle of the picture, right where the sunrise is. Overall I really like John fielders photos and the works that he does.
I think the reason so many people wanted to own this image is due to the fact that it is a mix of nature and the beauty that we would all like to remember each and every day. Living the fast-paced lives of work and family, humans do not get to experience this beauty of nature often enough. Peter Lik uses contextual art in most of his photographs in order to capture the natural Earth that most people are not lucky enough to see in person.
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.
This photo had global ramifications, and as what is arguably the most famous cover photo in journalism, it opened the world’s eyes to the soul and struggle of the afghan people during a time of war and suppression. The young girl is the center of the frame. Her eyes are the main focus of the image, speaking to the audience about the horrific things she has been through during the soviet occupation. Her eyes are the primary center of the photo, dim green on the outside and blurring internal to a light hazel. Something is past her eyes; her intense soul appears to pierce through to your own. Her eyes look where it counts into your extremely center, requesting understanding. Those eyes are a cry for help to let everyone know what the Soviet Union did to her people. Her innocence, although damaged, can still be seen peaking through her bright eyes. A green foundation complements her green eyes. Her dark hair is brushed far from her eyes with just a solitary strand falling over her cleared out eye. Her skin is tanned from spending her days in the sun and is marginally grimy. The lighting is low and delicate, strengthening and bringing on her eyes to pop. The sun is behind the camera shedding her face for the most part in the light. The left half of her face is faintly darker than the rest, making one accept that the sun was to one side. The green working behind her serves as an edge that matches the external edge of her green eyes, adding to their
A picture is more than just a piece of time captured within a light-sensitive emulsion, it is an experience one has whose story is told through an enchanting image. I photograph the world in the ways I see it. Every curious angle, vibrant color, and abnormal subject makes me think, and want to spark someone else’s thought process. The photographs in this work were not chosen by me, but by the reactions each image received when looked at. If a photo was merely glanced at or given a casual compliment, then I didn’t feel it was strong enough a work, but if one was to stop somebody, and be studied in curiosity, or question, then the picture was right to be chosen.
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.
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
I find the color element to be the most prominent because of the well done contrasting of colors. The lightness of the model’s skin contrasts to the slightly darkened background to almost give her an otherworldly or angelic glow. The green in the background contrasts greatly with the russet brown of the mountain like trail that seems to be right behind the woman. Even her clothes show contrast because the sleeves are the same russet brown but the rest of her outfit is darker. Those darker colors make her skin tone seem lighter than normal and help to create that luminous or radiant color that seems to radiate from her. The principle that I think stands out the most is emphasis because while more emphasis is put on the model so she is the focal point, the background is also very interesting and not overshadowed by the model. Both of them complement each other with the contrasting light of the girl and the darker background. The viewer’s eyes will immediately go to the lighter section in the middle but will stray to the darker part because neither are forcefully dominating or fighting attention. The color contrast and light contrast aren’t at war with each other; rather they are more like two halves of a whole that perfectly fit each other in a way not commonly
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
Overall, these techniques create a vivid, lasting impression. They 're used very effectively throughout, and carefully emphasise each other, creating intense images and impressions of chaos and
Taking photographs and photography itself is a great tool of power in many different aspects of life that one might not realize day to day. Photography has the power to reveal things that if expressed in words, would cease to be as powerful a truth. It serves as evidence of something larger. Yes, photos can be manipulated- yet because they can it makes the viewer even more cautious and observant on the details of these photos. Taking pictures is so much more than what it is painted to be on the surface. It is not always superficial and inconsequential. If you look deeper into the photo meaning and the details about the photos’ source, you observe things you would have never seen otherwise, like the slight hint of sorrow on her face, the contradiction in human ability, and the subtle external truths about the reason we do things, such as take pictures.
