My Red Photo Analyzation:

This photo presents a very clear layer, with the blue sky as the background and an airplane at the top right corner. I chose this photo because I liked the formal elements of abstraction included. There is a clear lighting choice, for which we can see the shadow of the airplane against the sunlight, and the focus of the object (the airplane in this context) is quite interesting with the choice of angle. The airplane head tilting up gives a satisfying angle, perpendicular to its wings, making a ‘x’ shape for the alphabet. Finally, the strong contrast between the broad sky representing and the airplane representing humanity fits my theme of loneliness, to show how human is only a small part of nature.

 

Pedro Correa abstraction analyzation:

This photo shot by Pedro Correa inspired me for which the emptiness of the background creates a contrast for the elements to make the outline of objects clearer. This not only showed deep contrast against one shape to another, but also provides a special term of focus. The scene of the man (or woman) walking towards the edge was also a great example of use of angle to achieve the theme. The change of color in the background was also something that i learnt from, so the photo can present audience more details.
