William was born July 27, 1939. |
This is one of Williams images, and my favourite image out of this work. I like this image so much is because it is cropped because on both mother and daughter it only went form the hips and down so it looks effective. You can see it is mother and daughter because the nearest person is the girl as she is wearing kids shoes and the and the other is the mother as she is wearing medium high shoes. It also cached my eye because of a colour which is red as the colour red is bright and bold the girl is wearing tights and shoes that are red and the women is wearing a red skirt so they match , but they are both wearing different colours with it for an example the girl is wearing the colours: green, blue and greyish brow. The women is just wearing black shoes and a coat the only thing we can not see is the front of them so it might of been another colour. It looks they are waiting for something like a taxi/ cab or a friends car or a bus. I said I thought earlier that it is mother and daughter but it might not as you can only see half of them.

When we went to the Tate modern museum we looked at to photographers they are Harry Callahan and William Eggleson. wen we were traveling to the museum we took photos. In my opinion i liked Harry Callahan more then William but there is an image i liked from William but i still like Harrys more.
This is one of my favourite images because so many subjects. for an example because all the people are facing backwards it looks really effective and the background looks so beautiful because the colour blue stands out and the white buildings go's with the blue sky . There is three shadows but just the heads so that is cropping. I think that it looks so much better then it would in black and white because it looks more realistic and the colours are so light and bright it makes me happy but i don't know about anyone else. The is composition of the two lines the first is of the people going in the same direction and the second is the crop of shadows of heads. The colours are broken up from black, gray, green,white and blue. The direction the line of people are going in it looks like the camera is tilted. There is a reflection that reflection is the sun is shinning on the people so it made in to shadows.

I liked this image as the colours are so bright but looks really effective because the bright red looks good but the lights around it makes it look better but if it was in black and white you will not see the effective bright colours and it will look dull. The women looks like she nether saw me take the image as she looks really focused in her work. If you put this image in black and white the colours would not look effective as it is bright so it will not look that good as this image needs colour. The composition is the tables look really in line. There are block colours for an example the bread and the pink. The focus in this image i the women making tea. All the colours are bright but the women. The tall black umbrella on top of every thing is a big bit of this image because if it was not there then the bright colours will not be noticed that as it was sunny and the sun was bright it would effect it in a bad or good way.

This is one of the chosen images I think looked really interesting and it look so cute. This is because these two people told a story. When I took this image I didn't really now way I felt that my head told my hand just to take it, but when I looked at it on Wednesday our next lesson in more focus and then I was so happy I took this as I don't think that anyone would take this image because if they decided to come to that same spot every Sunday the old women would not use the same arm pointing or saying the same thing or maybe not with the same man right next to her. I also think if I took it in a different angle then it might tell a different story as the might be people in the background. The subject is of the women and the man.the image calm as not a lot of people in the background and the women and the man looks really calm and focus on one point of the background in front of both of them.

The last but not least of my favourite images is of this cute teenage relationship. I also liked this image as it has a story of to young teenagers and it is so cute to see two people in love. It is not just about how cute and lovable it looks it makes the picture and it is really effective as the boys bag has a bright colour which is yellow and so it makes the picture to and if it was a darker colour it would not looks as effective. You can not see the back ground as much in the others as the subject is bigger as it is up close. Both girl and boy makes the image as they are holding hands and because it is in front of their hips they must of been swing them back to fourth. The subject is the boy and girl. the image is calm but busy as you can faddily see their are people rushing as that's why it is also hard to see the background. If the image was in black and white it will still look and tell the same story but it will look more boring even with relationship.
