A Touch of beauty

This picture was one of my assignments in a photography class. I like it because the light came out the way I wanted it to. All the petals of the flower came out in a way that we are all able to see it clearly. The flowers stem came out very clearly. The black background helped it stand out alot.

A Texture Touch

This is one of my favorite pictures because of its texture. The whole image is balanced on the right side of the page. With the light coming through the left side of the image the picture looks clear and detailed. The shadow helps emhazise the arch's shape.
I like the way the picture could be described in many ways, such as the negative and positive space is being used. Also, the detail of the bridge's lines and the way everything is all laid out. The face is also very detailed, the expression of the face also helps the mood of the pictures look sweeter.

Karl Blossfeldt

This abstract photography is composed of three dimensional figures yet makes the viewer only see two. The black and white colors help the images' texture stand out. This picture seems to have been taken in the middle of the day. The shadow appears to have been made of the sun rays. The sun appears to have been reflecting on something making the shadow look this way. The image takes up the whole page, not leaving space for anything to be added to the image.

Yousef Karsh

The master of studio Lights Karsh Yousuf, photographed many great people and celebrity personalities of his generation. Karsh was recognized for capturing the essence of his subject in the instant of his portrait.
Karsh used many techniques to make his pictures look very professional. For example, in the portrait titled H.L.Ickes made in gelatin silver print, Karsh used a foodlight located on the right of the picture to give the model's image a beautiful shadow to her left side. The shadow is a light shade, which allows the viewer to see all her features. The light helps her emphazise the not only her dress, her facial features, but also the necklace she is wearing.
