PHOTOS (7)

Posted by on Feb 20, 2016


1) This is the reflection from a stoplight on the wet pavement. I think this serves as a way of showing how using color can make any surface -- even gray concrete -- seem like something new and interesting, simply by turning an ordinary color expectation on its head (i.e. GRAY pavement shouldn't be RED, etc.).


2) This is a time when I think a lack of color served an image better than if it had used color. By turning off the color we really bump up the richness of the tone in the image and it makes for a more interesting read of this character, I think. 


3) I just think the thing that happens when there are a bunch of mirrors pointed at one another is really cool, but the thing that I didn't really capture in this shot was the way the yellow beauty lights made my hair look lemon-yellow and my navy blue shirt black. I wanted to get the crazy colors that I was seeing in real life, but wasn't able to figure out how to do so with my camera.


4) This image was just meant to serve as the only image sans color in this post (even though I ended up with another in black and white after I edited). This is the only picture that is black and white without putting on a black and white filter in post. I wanted to show how a lack of color still can read as a variety of shades even just with the eraser marks and chalk on this blackboard.

    I love your mirror photo! I think that is such a cool effect. I also really like your first photo. The red and black tones are very ominous, and the space is ambiguous enough that I don't know what is going to enter the frame, or from what direction. Lots of mystery.

    You had some really interesting pictures this week so it was hard for me to pick one I wanted to comment on the most. They all seemed a little eerie to me and therefor intriguing. Reflections are so intriguing, especially the ones created by mirrors facing each other. This makes your third photo pretty awesome. There are a lot of interesting lines and shapes created. I could stare at this for a long time.

    I love the first photo. I love how the light disperses when it hits the pavement. The red is really strong in the photo and really pops out. I feel like it gives a blood impression as well.

    What an awesome first photo. The red is so intensely saturated that it makes the blacks and grays that much more deep. Nice. :)
