This photo is of the Monasterio de los Jerónimos cathedral in Lisbon by Craigie3000. It was a cyanotype printing on paper. I think it is a beautiful photo and i especially like the circular window, how it shines through. It is slightly blurred in some parts but I think that just adds some uniqueness. This photo uses the leading lines because the architecture in the ceiling takes your eyes all around the photograph. The elements used in this photograph are line and space because your eyes follow the contour in the ceiling and space for the fact that it is large and slightly empty. For the principles I would say they are movement, how your sight follow all the lines, and emphasis, because of the large circle standing out near the bottom. Jonas Linge was the one who created this cyanotype photograph. Saunders waterford paper is what it was printed on. I think this photo is quite interesting seeing as it gets brighter towards the middle. This person used framing in the photo because it is framed by the darker circle/arch. I believe he also used fill the frame with all the plants in it. Texture and space are what I believed the elements to be. Texture because of the grass and trees also the grooves in the drift wood. Space because of the gap in the upper right corner which lets in light. I think one of the principles in this photo is variety, you have all these different images; the tree, driftwood, grass, water, and the arch. I like this cyanotype photogram because its slightly creepy. Marianoff is the person to create this image. This photogram was put onto wood, and that just adds to its creepy-ness. It also seems like an old photo. The compositional technique utilized were framing and leading lines. The oval frames the doll while the texture of the wood creates the leading lines technique. An element would be texture because of the grooves of the wood appears in the photo, which makes it really interesting. A principle would be balance for the darkness and lightness throughout the photogram which helps bring it out more.
