Image Essay #1


This photograph is entitled -148- and it was taken by an artist I found on deviantART.com (where I find most of my favorite artists) who calls himself 'rainris'. I really like this picture foremost because it reminds me of something that looks just like a movie still taken from some long lost Alfred Hitchcock film or something. It's more than just a picture, it has a story in it, and I like when you can tell a story with one picture. But I also really like the composition in this picture because it does a good job of using the blackness in the tunnel to even out the negative and positive space without making the picture weigh too much to the left or the right. Also the man in the front has alot of dominance over the couple in the back. I like how the photographer not only used size to accomplish this but how he also used clarity by focusing on the man in front so the couple is extremely blurry.
