I will attempt to explain this photo as to what I visually see as though you have never seen it before. The black and white photo was taken by a photographer as he was relating this moment in time to shapes. He states in the picture that the people are immigrants from Europe. It was a long time ago in history where these people were returned to their country from their failed attempts to make a living in the United States. It is a direct reflection of depression at its best. Crowded people on board or in and about the dock either waiting to load or exiting the ship. The picture portrays people that are lost with hopes of failure and despair. The person that took the photo of the ship and people attempts to describe personal as he relates them to the picture. This style that he was trying to in my view was not an emotions style but a visual of how things are related in contrast with other objects. He then further describes odd shapes from the ship, People, and the sky as he relates the shapes of people and of the ship in his own perception of life. When I view this photo I view society in depression. The photo is in black and white. …show more content…
There is no focal point in my view. The photographer states that the focal point is the man in a straw hat. What lead him the hat? He states because of the shape. What draws me to the photo is the overcrowding. The photo is not of the whole ship if he was attempting to create shapes. It is of overcrowding ("Humanities Through the Arts," 2014). I will attempt to explain this photo as to what I visually see as though you have never seen it before.
The color photo was taken by a photographer as he was relating this moment in time not to shapes but of a historical fact. The purpose of this photo was no way in the sane style as the other photo because the person taking the photo was not attempting to capture shapes. The photo shown has a visual effect of Army Soldiers preparing to deploy on a mission. The Soldiers are sitting on a set of bleachers side by side with facial expressions varying from some smiling as some with a stern look. The image and style set up of the Soldiers are in a uniform formation sitting shoulder to shoulder, hands on their knees. The photo style had a lot of structure and planning to the set up by way of the person taking the
photo. The reason why I selected to analyze these photos was because they showed completely opposite images. The black in the white photo was taken via the photographer’s impression of shapes, not the people. The photo I choose was because it was not taken for shapes but for the historical factor of an event in time. The two have completely different meanings. They stood out to me because I view them as a moment in the history of society.
Photograph Analysis 2
The children turn are turned around not to be view by the person taken the camera because of sadness felt by their mother. Children have a sense of emotion that can be felt through their parents. When children look at their parents to see happiness and joy the children feel the same way. When the children’s parents show their pain and sadness that is portray though the children. When you look at the quality and skill set of the person taken the photo. The person that took the photo made sure to capture the emotions by focusing on the mother's face and the reaction of the children. This type of photo in my view shows more emotion of the family as a whole ("Humanities Through the Arts," 2014).
This photo was taken of my daughter and I during Christmas. The photo was not during a depression, unlike the prior photo. The reason I selected this photo was because it shows the happiness and joy that I spoke of in the first photo. It was a time where there were happiness and joy during a part of our time where the meaning was filled with love. The photo of the women and her two children that were standing beside her had their faces turn away showed sadness. With this photo of my daughter and me we are facing the camera in a bonding and joy full time This photo shows a situation in a time where not by the surroundings but of our facial expression showing happiness. You can while viewing this photo feel and see love and happiness.
