Vuuath+PORTRAIT



I found these three images to be the most interesting because I strongly feel that the black and white emphasizes the meaning behind these pictures and makes these images seem more powerful.

Picture 1: In Bill Branet’s portrait, he indicates his picture by having it be a landscape selfie. With that, he makes the background more powerful by having it be more dramatic because the lighting shows a variation with a combination of black/white/gray that pops out. However, Bill uses certain compositional techniques by filling the frame because he doesn’t leave any negative space.

Picture 2: Rene Burri shows a unique portrait that indicates some confusion but yet, makes a person curious about what’s really happening with this portrait. There is much movement within this picture since there are cars constantly moving while a person is walking across the street. Though, there is great contrast and

Picture 3: Oscar Graubner shows much natural outside lighting and uses rules of thirds since she’s not fully centered in the middle of the photo. However, the portrait seems calm/smoothing because even though she’s many feet up, the horizon level makes her environment seem safe. However, realistically, you normally wouldn't’ see a person climbing extremely high just to take a picture; it seems unnatural. While the woman is sitting, this image shows how the value of coloration suddenly becomes lighter within the sky and everything blends together in one big blob.
