Woyach-Place



The first image was taken by Paul Raphaelson and it is taken of an urbanscape. The mood that is portrayed by this photo is more of a olden day/deserted feeling. It kind of leaves a feeling of somberness. Paul Raphaelson normally likes to take photos of subs, cityscapes, landscapes, lost places, or urbanscapes. Many of his photos are in black and white such as this one but this one specifically stood out to me because it had that olden like feel to it which I like. In this photo the artist used leading lines and rule of thirds. The way the fence wraps around, guides the viewers eyes around the photo which uses leading lines. And the way the artist used the objects in the area such as trees, old billboards, the fence, and electric lines, helped fill the empty space in the photo which used rule of thirds.

//**Untitled**// **Artist: John Paul Caponigro** The second image was taken by John Pauk Capoonigro and it is taken of an mindscape. The mood that is portrayed by this photo is almost like an extra-terrestrial/serene feeling. John Paul combines his background in painting with traditional and alternative photographic process using state-of-the-art digital technology. Many of his photos have the same extra-terrestrial look to them, since mostly all his photos are edited to look as if an object is floating or distorted. This one specifically caught my eye because I like how he decided to use ice at his object instead of a rock in which most cases he does. I also thought the combination of colors in the photo were really pretty and they fit well with each other since they are all cool colors. How shark the ice blocks are and how they are pointed in different directions creates leading lines for the viewer because it leads the viewers eyes from the top to the bottom of the ice blocks. Also the lines in the water, and the direction the water is moving towards using leading lines.

//**France**// **Artist: Julien Grondin** The third image was taken by Julien Grondin and it is taken of a cityscape. The mood that is portrayed by this photo is energetic/electric feeling, but at the same kind of calm and beautiful. Julien Grondin, also known as Beboy, takes photos of cityscapes due to the inspiration he gained from living in Paris. He favors long exposure times, bold framing, and twilight. Out of all his photos, I enjoyed this one particularly because amount of colors in the photo. I thought the colors that the cars created motion but a beautiful photograph because it added bright warm colors to the cool colored cityscape. The clouds also had the same effect as they are motioned towards the city which leads the viewers eyes to the city. Grondin almost made this photograph look like a mindscape which I also liked because of how fast he made the cars and clouds look they they were going.
