Photographic Formative 3 Color and Shape

The above photo is an effective exploration of color and shape for a number of reasons. Firstly, the photograph shows a multitude of different colors that are all contained within a single environment. These colors contrast each other and therefore, create a feeling of depth within the image. Secondly, the above photograph also contains a number of different shapes, such as circles, ovals and lines. These shapes help diversify the photograph. Therefore, for the reasons I have stated above, I find that this image represents the most effective exploration of color and shape of any of the photographs I have taken.

Photographic Formative 2 Texture

The above photo is an effective exploration of texture for a number of reasons. Firstly, it shows how a combination of sunlight and shadows can be used to create a feeling of texture in a photograph. This feeling of texture was created, in my photograph, through the shadows pushing objects into the background and the sunlight pulling objects into the foreground. In addition, the overlapping plants, tree and fence are layered in such a way, that they contribute to the overall three-dimensional sense of texture present in the photograph. Therefore, for the reasons I have stated above, I find that this photograph represents the most effective exploration of texture of any of the photographs I have taken.

Animation #1

Photographic Formative 1 Line

The above picture is an effective exploration of line for a number of reasons. Firstly, this picture shows a number of different ways lines can be arranged. For example, it shows lines being arranged in perpendicular vertical-horizontal patterns, purely vertical patterns and purely horizontal patterns. Also, this picture shows how the element of line, in addition to other elements, can be harnessed for a purpose, which, in this case, is the construction of a bridge. Lastly, this picture also shows that lines can be made using a variety of materials. For example, some of the lines within the picture are made from metal, while others are made from concrete. As such, I find this photograph, besides being very aesthetically pleasing, to be the most effective exploration of line of any of the photographs I have taken.
