“John Mayer”
technical aspects: b&w – rule of thirds – background is simple but is textured – body language fills more then half the frame – shows tattoos diagonally so it looks balanced – hand is cut off but not too much.
Love this shot! Love his body position and the look on his face.. it makes a strong statement. This gives him a “tough guy” look and it works so well even though John Mayer is a pretty laid back guy and his music is really relaxing and soft. It’s the strong light from the shadows on his face and body that creates this effect! This gives me a lot of ideas for my own photography for doing portrait work.. too shoot with that kind of lighting as well as the angle the shot is taken!
"Woman with guitar"
technical aspects: b&w - large depth of field - wide angle shot - rule of thirds.. not directly in the center.
Love this. has such a calm feeling to it. love the position of the model in the landscape, off center in front of the water. the guitar pops out. something your eye looks to first. her eyes closed also adds seriousness to the picture. the depth of field is funky. its all on the right side blurry and the rest is in focus.. I like how with this effect it puts the attention on the woman and makes the picture seem longer and adds depth to it. i like the style of this shot for the fact that its a person with a random guitar on a random field.. seems so late minute, like she was placed there with not alot of thought behind it.. but it works so perfect! i like this for my own photography for the simplicity. a picture doesn't have to have everyone and everything in it to make it work.. the less the better.. it can have a stronger effect and meaning behind it.
"Construction"
technical aspects: b&w - wide angle - framing - rule of thirds.. with the construction men - its an "airplane" view.. from a very high position to give the effect.
Love the angle of this shot. love how your looking down on a busy street and can clearly read the signs and see the cars along with the tiny people. it gives a whole different perspective on this scene when typically you would think the shot would be taken from the ground looking up. seeing this picture pushes me to expand my photography. to go stand on the top of buildings and take pictures with the craziest angles.. to go OUTSIDE the box! even though the railings and rods from the building are in the way, it creates a natural frame that brings the picture together.
