1.1 Research photographers images
Copied below:
This photo is by Andrew Hurteau. He is an image maker who likes to use photography to tell a story. This photo is sequential as its showing the series of a pot, which is then broken in the middle of the image, followed by it being fixed but still has its few cracks in. There is positive and negative space, the black surrounding this being the negative. The photo is framed horizontally with simple monochrome colours. The shutter speed is relatively high for this as it needed to capture a clear crisp shot of the broken pottery. This photo has been enhanced in photoshop. I love the small glimmer of gold cracks in the pot, I think that tells a story and means something. Nothing I dislike.
This is Steven Wilkes’s very impressive day to night sequence. This is two photos merged together. Steven Wilkes graduated with a bachelor of science in photography, and is recognized for brilliant editing skills and commercial work. We see the scenery of day, and as we follow the photo we then see the night life. There is a few examples of line in this photo, such as horizontal, diagonal, converging. The converging lines imply depth here, and distance, creating interest for the viewer. We also see the colours of daytime are more neutral, relaxed, and as the night shows its more colourful and busy. This was most likely a faster shutter speed used to freeze all the people, movement, and intricacies of this scene. This has been edited by two photos from different times of day, and merged together, creating this effect that it’s all in the same photo. There is nothing I dislike about this.
This is an emotional sequence by Greg Orlov. We see a man showing quite dramatic emotion here. He is shocked with his hand over his mouth, then he has his head in his hands in despair, then we see him with his head down, sad, emotionless, possibly empty. There is a lot of negative space in this, creating wonderful contrast. The lighting is also subtle and the colours are black and white which maximizes the mood. This is one of those sequential photos that create impact. The shutter speed will be relatively fast, and this would have been carefully done to create the exact emotions. The one thing I dislike is Greg could of done one more emotion or added another part to this sequence.
