PhotoBlog #4

I found this photo on Hrystia Kaminska's photoblog. The photographer is Hrystia Kaminska. This gives no real place where it was taken, but considering Kaminska is Ukranian, it most likely was taken in the Ukraine. I like how this photo uses the motion principle to set up an interesting dynamic in the photo. The way the woman is brushing her hair makes it seem like wind is being blown at her which makes the picture very interesting. This most definately used artifical lighting because the photo was very staged and well set up. The emphasis is on the woman's hair and this is set up through the blowing of it and the way it appears frozen. I dont think any truly deeper meaning is found in this photo. But it most definatley shows the beauty in the world and it's people.

Point of View Project Photos

Framing
This picture represents framing because it shows a subject being "framed" in a window. The subject is my little brother Shea and the frame is a window. I took this photo to evoke a grim, sad feeling. The framing truly helps with this goal because it makes it look like you are looking into the sadness of someones life. The framing gives the affect of a microscope into the mind of the subject.




Rule of Thirds/ Two Thirds
This picture is a classic example of the rule of two thirds because one third of the photo draws the eye and the other two thirds are merely a backdrop. I took this photograph after my brother attempted to eat chocolate and got it all over his hand. The detail of the chocolate makes it almost appear as muddy mountains on the palm of his hand. Coupled with the rule of thirds, the emphasis is clearly shown.


Spacial Relations
This photo is a representation of the dynamic spacial relations. The appearance of this picture is that of a mere boy having a tree grow out of his hand. This makes the picture much more interesting and appealing to the eye. The subject almost is transformed from a boy to a superhero who's power is growing various plants out of his limbs. I think this picture is a great example of spacial relations.





Value Contrast
This is a picture of a dark stem from a plant against a white back ground. This is an example of value contrast because the darkness of the plant is in direct contrast to the white, dull stucco. With this dynamic set up, it appears as if an artist had used dark paint against a white canvas. The set up between the subject and it's back drop is a classic example of value contrast.






Leading Lines
This photograph represents the visual dynamic of leading lines. The leaves of the plant appear to almost fall in and lead your eye to the middle of the plant, where the emphasis is. These lines really represent leading lines because they actually have the affect on your eye of pulling you towards the center or the emphasis. This is why this is a classic example of leading lines.
