Andre Kertesz
This photograph was taken by Andre Kertesz; this piece
demonstrates a fork leaning up against a plate with the shadow of the picture
being reflected onto the wall. In the foreground of this photo is the beginning
of concert wall, in the middle ground is the fork and plate and in the
background is the end of the wall. The most important thing in this photo is
the fork and the shadow because used together it has made the picture really
effective. It looks like this photo has been taken outside on a sunny day so
that the sun has made a shadow on the fork. I think this photo may be staged because
I think the photographer positioned the fork and the plate together in the way
of the sun light so it makes a shadow. I think the picture may have been
manipulated by using a black and white filter. The light source that’s been used is the natural light from
the sun to create a shadow; the light source affects the subject matter because
the subject matter is mainly the shadow so without the light there wouldn’t be
a shadow so the subject matter of this photo wouldn’t exist. The depth of field
in this photo has been focused on the shadow instead of the object making the
shadow. The shutter speed doesn’t affect this photo because it’s a still image.
The first thing that attracts me to this photo is the bold
shadow and that’s what I like so much about it. I don’t think the photographer
was trying to set a particular mood with this photograph or trying to send any
particular message I just think he must of somehow been inspired to do this.
This photograph has inspired my own photography by making me think of which
lighting effects will be best for how dramatic the photo can look and how much
the positioning can be effective and all different angles will be so
differently effective.
Paul Strand
This photo was taken by Paul Strand in between 1910 and
1976. The subject matter of this photo is the shadow being reflected onto the
table. In the foreground is the beginning of the white table, in the middle
ground there’s shadows of what looks like an open blind in the window and in
the background the shadows carry on but they get darker as they get further
away. The most important thing in this photo is the light provided and the
shadow made by it. It looks like this photo way taken inside somewhere maybe
someone’s house in a room with a table sitting near a window so the natural
sunlight could reflect a shadow onto the table. I think this is a real event in
the day when the sun would be out so it was able to create a shadow through the
window blinds. I think this photo may have been manipulated by using a B+W
filter which has made the photo look more affective. I think its natural light that’s been used in this photo
because its looks as if it could be the sunlight shining through the window
making a reflection of open blinds. The light source affects this subject
matter by creating the shadow and without the light source used the shadow
wouldn’t be able to be the subject matter because there wouldn’t be a shadow.
The depth of field is mostly focused on the shadow, so it makes it seem bolder
than the rest of the photo. The shutter speed doesn’t affect this photo because
it’s a still image where nothing in this photo is moving to make you need to
take the photo at a fast speed. I think
the photo may have been manipulated by using a B+W filter to make that photo
look more affective. I really liked this photo because the first thing that
attracted me to it was that way the light had been used to create a pattern
onto the table and how effective and bold the shadow looked. I don’t think the photographer has done anything
in particular to set any kind of mood in this photo I just think he may have
seen a opportunity to take this photograph. I also don’t think this
photographer was trying to deliver any pacific message by taking this photo. I
think this Paul Strand photograph will affect my photography because I admire
the use of natural light and objects to create patterns.
Ralph Gibbson
This photograph was taken by Ralph Gibson. The subject matter is a street with the shadow of a lamp post reflecting onto the brick road. In the foreground there’s the shadow of the lamp post, in the middle ground there’s just the brick road that carries on throughout the whole photo and in the background the street looks darker and there’s more shadows of trees and buildings. It looks like the photo was taken out side going down a dark alley/ street. I think this photo was taken from a real event of the moon shining on one side of the street creating shadows of the trees and lamp posts on the other side of the street. I think that this photo may have been manipulated because I looks like it’s been changed to a black and white filter instead of its natural realistic colors. I don’t think artificial light has been used on this photo I think it’s the natural light from the moon reflecting on the street. The light source used in this photo is one of the main parts of the photo if this light source wasn’t used the photo wouldn’t be as effective and the shadows may not be coming from the same directions that they are. The use of the shutter speed doesn’t affect this photo at all because this Image is a still image because there are no moving objects used in this photo. I think this photo may have been manipulated by using a black and white filter for more effect. I like this photo because the first thing that attracted me to this photo is how bright the street looks and how dark the shadows are. I don’t think the photographer has done anything in particular to set any kind of mood in this photo I just think he may have been in the right place at the right time and saw the opportunity to take this photograph. I also don’t think the photographer was trying to deliver any specific message with this photo. I think this photo taken my Ralph Gibson will influence my own photography work because it’s very interesting and I like the style of the photo, I will intend to use Ralph Gibson’s style of photography by maybe taking pictures outside at night only using the light of the lamp posts or the moon for my own photography work.
