We were set with the task of photographing contrast for the second time. For my second attempt I considered all of the weak points of my original shoot and attempted to correct them within this one. I knew the types of variation that I wanted to achieve in this shoot and I wanted to focus on other elements to show contrast in interesting ways. I wanted to use some formal elements within the environment to show more contrasts. Since it had previously been raining before I went out to shoot, I was able to use the reflections from the pavement to my advantage in using formal elements such as reflection and colour.
This picture shows contrast between water and land or even up and down. The use of the reflection in the puddle allows for the picture to become more interesting and opens up more windows for interpretation. This image shows a good amount of the formal elements. Reflection can be used to create a contrast between the ground and the sky. This contrast is mainly shown through the use of different colours. The sky is shown with a pale, bright blue while the ground consists of dark and gritty colours.
This picture shows a straight forward example of contrast. The bright green colour of the nature in the photo stands out against the dull brick work and draws the audiences attention towards the image. Other formal elements can be seen within the image which create further contrasts. The brickwork features a pattern, consisting of neat lines. The bush features a more chaotic image of different shapes and colour tones.
Progression:
If I were to do this again I would like to look for more examples of contrast. To achieve this I could travel further to find interesting locations and objects that show contrast.
