Vanessa Vasquez-week6

This photo is by Bruce Percy. This photo caught my attention because I really enjoy looking at night photography and photos that look surreal. I like how vibrant the hues are even though he used natural light. The only other light source was a street light which gives off a red/orange glow to the photo. The dark cloudy sky really makes the photo because of its contrast and texture from the clouds. You can also clearly see the texture of the tall grass and brick wall behind the grass. I appreciate the composition, and I like how the light pole splits the landscape, and gives it a sense of it being balanced and symmetrical. I love how night photography really gives a direct emotion and expression. To me I sometimes feel that when I look at pictures that were taken at night it gives off a deeper, and more personal expression than a picture that was taken during the day. Pictures that are taken during the day have brighter lightning which gives off a more happy vibe.

 This photo is also by Bruce Percy. I'm starting to really like his work! When I looked at this picture I realized it is mono-chromatic, which in this picture I really love! The tones in this photo are reddish-brown. The lighting looks natural and the colors seem to make the light look warmer. The composition is strong. It feels personal and I feel as if I'm there with her. I noticed that the young girl has a strong stance. She looks very mature and confident for her age. I really enjoy this picture I think its a wonderful portrait.
