The black and white photograph captures a dynamic scene with multiple figures wearing similar dark uniforms, suggesting a professional setting. The figures move away from the viewer, and their silhouettes appear blurred, creating a sense of movement.

• Blurred Movement: The people in the image are not sharply defined, indicating a rapid movement or a long exposure effect. This gives the impression of a busy, bustling atmosphere.
• Uniformity: The individuals are similarly attired, which creates a cohesive visual theme and reinforces the idea of a collective group, such as a team or organization.
• Monochrome Tones: The use of sepia or monochromatic tones adds a vintage feel, evoking a sense of nostalgia and perhaps reflecting on time or tradition.
• Background Details: While the subjects are the focal point, the background hints at an urban environment, suggesting a transition or departure from a specific location.

I want to try taking black and white photos in my final image to enhance the visual interest.

The photo shows the bustling Olympia Stadium and its fantastic retro black-and-white color scheme. In addition, a clock is visible, which adds to the urban atmosphere. A group gathered in front of the stadium, and their movements created a sense of energy. Some people are clear, and some are slightly blurred, suggesting movement and stillness. The overall composition conveys a sense of energy and anticipation – as if the stadium is about to host an event. There are some buildings and trees in the background, which highlight the atmosphere of the urban environment. The whole scene creates a nostalgic atmosphere, which reminds people of the history or significant events related to the stadium.

• Motion Blur: Moving objects (like the people in this example) appear blurred, conveying a sense of activity and energy in the scene.
• Static Elements: Fixed objects (like the stadium itself) remain sharp, contrasting with the blurred people, reinforcing the focus on the location.
• black and white: helped to increase the visual interest and make the photo look stronger.
• light and shadow: helped to make the photo look more 3d, increasing the visual interest.
• leading line: helped to lead the audience’s eyes to the center and primary object of the photo.
• Balance: helped to make the photo look more organized.
• negative space: helps to give the photo a sense of breath so the audience’s eye can focus on the main object.

In my final set, I also want to take a photo that combines the steal and movement.

The message of my photo is that I want to show the fast-paced society nowadays.  I want my audience to stop and slow down to enjoy the city around them. For inspiration, I will try to find a photographer who explores taking photos with movement and people and a photographer who explores the use of the shutter speed in his or her photo. In my opinion, nowadays, people are going so fast that they no longer enjoy the beauty around them. In my photo, I want to play around with shutter speed to achieve the theme.

The message of my photo is that I want to show the unknown side of people. The message is to show the complexity within people’s minds.  I want my audience to stop and consider and accept the complex feelings in their mind. For inspiration, I will try to find a photographer who explores taking photos with reflective objects and people and a photographer who explores the use of zoom-in in his or her photo. In my opinion, nowadays, people think they know everything about each other. However, this is often not true.

In my final set, I want to wrap a plastic or bubble wrap around my model’s head and take the photos from a different perspective. I also want to take a variation of the age group of the model to highlight the diversity.
