Erik Johansson’s artwork utilizes illusions as he brings his imagination to life. In this photo, “Helping Fall,” he uses different photographs and threads them together to create a whole new meaning and idea. Instead of finding the right place to take the photograph, he creates his own moment and place in time. He possibly used two different photos, one of the two people with gardening tools and another with the tree. He threaded these two together, and with the help of photoshop, made created an illusion of the people sucking the leaves of the tree into the vacuum. Johansson uses movement; the reader’s eyes follow the tree’s leaves into the vacuum. Moreover, using the rule of thirds, the two focal points Johansson emphasizes in the picture are on the left and right thirds creating a composition. He also uses cool colors in the background to offset the more vibrant, warm colors of the tree and people to emphasize them.
This image utilizes organic shape through the silhouette of the flower. The natural shape of the flower and the hand is emphasized by the contrast between the warm colored sky and the black silhouette. The purple tinted background and position of the flower pointing towards the sky gives the image a hopeful feeling. Moreover, using the rule of thirds, the flower lands right in the intersection of the top line and left line of the photograph. The line, furthermore gives motion to the image as it leads to the point of emphasis, the flower itself. Frans Lanting uses a variety of elements of photography to enhance this photograph. The cool color of the ice contrasts with the vibrant warm colors of the water, sunset, and penguins to make them pop. Moreover, Frans Lanting uses the Rule of Thirds by placing the penguins on the third column of the photograph. This placement of the penguins draws the viewer's eye to the penguins first; they become the emphasis and focal point of the photograph. Check out his blog to see more of his wonderful works of art.
Dorothea Lange uses her skills as a photographer to humanize the events of the Great Depression. In this particular photo, the viewer's eye is drawn to the desolate house by the regular pattern of the ground that, further, give motion to the picture. The lines in the ground support a rough vanishing point as the lines curve off. The cool color evokes emotion and sets the tone of the photograph. The gloomy skies create a downcast and sorrowful feeling that reflect the consequences of the Great Depression.
The photograph captures a silhouette of a farmer. The photographer took the image facing the vibrant and warm sun, ultimately blacking out the details and color of the farmer. The colors of the sky gradually go from darker and cooler to brighter and warmer. The hues add to the emotions of the photo. The viewer feels that the farmer is serene and in the midst of pensive thoughts. The position of the farmer and sun create great composition in the photograph; The farmer is on one-third of the image, while the sun lies on the opposing one-third.
Ansel Adams was able to successfully implement most of all the photographic elements. The color contrast draws the viewer’s eye to the waterfall because it’s bright hue stands out; therefore, the waterfall is also emphasized. Moreover, movement and rhythm can be seen as the water rushes off the edge of the mountain. The movement demonstrates direction and depth. Moreover, the organic, natural, shapes of the mountains, trees, and water give texture to the photograph. The mountains are jagged and rough, juxtaposing the smooth and cool waterfall.
