Minimalist Photography

I like this photo because it uses the shadows in the background to make it the focal point and it really stands out to me and I also really like how they positioned the orange to get the shadow at an angle. I'm compelled by this photo by not the shadow but by the way they used their thoughts into it and it really can bring out a new meaning behind the photograph. 

I love this photo because it really shows the movement in the picture and it must have taken a lot of pictures to get the perfect position or it could have been one shot and go and it would've been just fine. The reason I am compelled by this photograph is that the body is the focal point and it brings out a lot with the white background which it doesn't really use the negative space in the background but it still is a good example of minimalism.

I chose this photo as an example of minimalism because it is just a simple photo with hands using string and a drawing of birds using the string as a line to sit on but it also brings out the movement in the photo to make it really creative. Not only are the birds in the photograph but it also brings out more of the emphasis from the hands to the birds that are flying away. I am compelled by this because it makes me think that the photographer is trying to understand what the viewer is thinking and to be honest I have no idea I am speechless. But it was a really good photograph but it could have a more vibrant background to go along with the photo.

I found this tutorial really easy for my capability and it helped me find a way to make a photo object the focal point of the entire photo. I"m hoping to learn from this and learn more tutorials to help with my photography

Jenny Wanderlust Questions

 


1.The image that Jenny is trying to project is Adventurous, Daring, Bold, Different, and Risk-taker.
2.I think she was successful because her images do portray the words that were described. She put her perspective into calm and collected photos which I think makes her successful.
3.I think Jenny is someone who would be a good role model because she is portraying a different perspective on the world and that can be a good lesson to other people. She would make a good mother because she is teaching her kids how to have a different outlook on the world. 4.She would make a good wife because she would always have a genius way to go to escape from reality. She would make a good friend because she would know how to make them happy by bringing them to these amazing places.

The Last Girl

Describe the image as closely as you can.  Write your description on your Blog. What do you think is going on here?  Is this an artistic image or a documentary image (or both)? Is the image Photoshopped? Try to assign meaning to the image. What do you think the photographer's intent was? What does the image say to you? How does the difference in scale between the man and the girl's face add to your interpretation of the photograph.

The image is of a man who looks to be mountain climbing on a woman's face especially near her eye/eyebrow and her nose. I think that the man is trying to climb to the top of her body. This type of photograph is an artistic image because there is suppose to be a meaning behind it but I really don't know what it could be. This image is photoshopped because they had to make the man look like an ant climbing on the woman's face, so the photographer must have had to shrink the man. I think the meaning of this photo is that are many different meanings. Like how the man is using the woman by a strand of her hair to climb so it could be a feminism meaning. Or other people could say that he is sculpting her and he is trying to get better detailing of her face. I think the photographer's intent of this image was to make people think of what the photo could be. The image says to me that the woman is afraid of what she looks like and she is not confident. The difference in scale of the man and the girl's face is that the girl is more important because she is bigger than the man and that could mean that she has more power over him because he is small.

With that in mind, describe Helnwein's image in as much detail as you can and in a separate post, record your answers on your Blog. Look at the image closely (Click on it to enlarge). What do you see? Describe it as if you were recounting it in detail to someone who had never seen it. Think about the scale--how could the size affect the meaning?  Think about the material, the logistics and engineering of mounting it.  Is it one contiguous image or is it spliced together or can't you tell? 

Think about the location--is it urban? Rural? Residential? Industrial? Given the image's location, who do you think will see the it? Who is the intended audience? Describe the mood of the image. What is the expression on the girl's face? Is it blase? Is it engaged? Is it optimistic? Wondering? Melancholy? 

This image that has been fully sized is now a billboard in some kind of urban city and there is a photo of a man in front of the billboard in the first photo and in the last photo the man is now climbing the billboard. The size affects the meaning because it changes the whole perspective like now it can mean a form of protest or rebellion. This is one contiguous image because it moves together in the image. The location of this piece is at a private area surrounded by water in some sort of an industrial city. I think the people who see it are people on boats, in the marina, fishermen. The people who are the intended audience of the billboard are anyone who are on the water, for people who travel in cars. The mood of this image is a focused, driven mood for someone who knows what they want. The expression of the girl's face is a driven expression that tells us that she wants everyone to know what she wants.
