  • The reason I chose the title “Better together” is that the photographer included a variety of diverse aspects in this picture, and he also made good use of lighting and shadows to create patterns that may give the picture more significance.

 

  1. Name one thing you think is unusual about the photograph.
  • pattern/light: The image contains a pattern, but the pattern that is displayed to viewers is not made up of actual items; rather, he created the pattern using lighting and shadows, which I find to be quite unusual but intriguing.

  • line/shape: The shapes and lines are effective design components that are deliberately employed to direct viewers’ attention and provide visual appeal, creating strong compositions. The photographer took advantage of the shades and created them as a pattern which is the main focus of this photograph.
