Week 4:
Brett weston - Beachcomber 1945
1. Composition: things are placed well, we able to see what is important in the front and in the back
2. lighting: although in black and white the background sky in not distracting, but since this is an outside scene lighting cannot be controlled.
3.Clear focal point: our eyes go right to the three boats in the front, where we notice the man and the boats are directed to send us to the back, and see what else the photo has to show
4. Purpose: not a true purpose is spoken but suggested that it is disaster.
5. The subject is interesting: it is appealing to wonder about this man and if this is his property, and what happened to him, or if this has always been his life style
6.Unique perspective, not a lot used, it seems to be very straight on. although a little higher than the boats and man.
7.Creativity; not much used because it is already placed, but the placement of the boats makes it interesting because it is again directing you to the whole scene
8.Multiple layers: Used very well, we can be brought back layer by layer in the photograph, i consider this to be the strongest part of the photo.
9.emotional response; yes it is there, you feel sympathy for the man and the area surrounding him
10. technical skills; knows how to frame his pictures well, and using black and white to have the right contrast. Especially for the time period this photograph was taken in.
