This artist shoots a wide variety of pictures from dogs to nature. The photo above is specifically nature with the trees, outdoors, and waterfall. Although there is no title of the photo available, the artists name is Herx Hishasho, a photographer that posts his works on google+. A forest is a place of protection and innocence of the unknown. In this photograph there's that vibe it gives off, where one feels incorporated in a mystery and in a search, far enough where they'll cross a bridge to discovery. The position of this image is appeared to be embarking on a search, with a weird twist. The trees are brightened in the center but have darkness surrounding them. This creates an appropriate contrast that pulls attention to that point as well as having the bridge lead one's eyes to it. Leading lines were used in this photo as well as focal point and point of view. The photo concentrates on the center as the lines of the bridge distract your eyes to follow their path. Balance is used very well here because of the symmetry if the image was cut in half. Darkness consumes the left side of the photo while water is consuming the other side (right side). By the opposites of the two it balances out. To my attention, I sense movement within the photo. The perspective it was shot at is as if the person is walking and looking toward where the bridge is leading them. With the water falling and the trees swirling emulates that there's life to the forest and personality.

http://www.picturecorrect.com/tips/10-tips-for-taking-great-cityscape-photos/ CITYSCAPE From this artist, Jan Castillo, I get the wanderlust mood from her. The intensity of this photo could match the intensity one wishes to travel or travel to this photo. Although both the title of this piece is unavailable and Jan's other works cannot be reached through the cite posted from the source above, it seems as if cityscapes and lighting are her forte for photography. Overlooking a city of bright lights, buildings, and fog fallen to the ground is already an interesting idea. The endless possibilities to the concept of this photo. However, movement, line, space, and emphasis were all used together that give such a strong effect. The brightness of the colors are emphasized and brightened showing life; the movement of the photo is created with the colors and the fog because they look smeared. The lines that are created through the color make one's eyes follow around the image to find that there are two parts of the photo dealing with vibrance. The right side of the photo is more vibrant and has more contrast while the other side is lighter and more pale in comparison to the other side. In a way, the image is a life form itself. All buildings in this photo provide space with their sizing. How they start to fluctuate from the bottom of the image to the top. One important point of this photo is again, the color, the hue. It's almost as if it's surrounding the perspective of the viewer. Fog falls to the ground, but no one ever really sees it in the sky. From this perspective you get that perspective- it's shown through the downward angle of the lens.

https://www.screenweek.it/stars/34793 MINDSCAPE The artist, Ole Bornadel, is into the demonic and dark type of photography The mood of the photo is very dark, deep, and powerful. The girl is the focal point of the photo and her form is in a lifeless position. I get a sense of movement but the movement of stillness. Her hanging body is hanging from nothing and the entire photo is black and white which shows a colorless feeling; an empty feeling or a too-late feeling. When I first looked at this photo, I saw the stillness and I saw an afternoon turned to black and white. Contrast between the bright window and her body and bed create a secret for this image. She has no shadow which is very strange but all of the different shades of black and white add value to her room.

For the printmaking portion, I want to do wood prints. My concept for this project is about nature. "Natural nature" as funny as it sounds, or "Colors of nature". I want a happier or more relaxed mood of my final piece when someone sees my work. Nature is a place of endless possibilities and endless colors still needing to be created. I wish to create colors through the mood of my final piece to evoke the connection between the two. Most of my work is serious, mysterious, or draining; I want a more brighter concept this time with imagination. I want to portray a calm lighting, natural, but cloudy to symbolize the neutralness of the scene. For the calm tone, it amplifies the expression of that person in a visually attractive way. I would like a mindscape, and for it to be printed on wood to add to the concept of being in touch with natures embers.
