Analysis

Photographer: Andre Kertesz

Analysis: Andre was a photographer who loved to capture images with many details. He specifically focused on street photographies by creating an interest in angles or in distortion. He tried to make the characters in his photo pause during a specific action, and by doing this he created a sense of loneliness that seems to last at forever. Furthermore, his photo uses a dim tone of color to express his tone in a even clearer visual so his perspectives can be easily noticed.

Photographer’s photo:

This photo demonstrated a great example of an eerie angle. The stairs managed to show a disoriented look, as if the handrails were stuffed from different dimensions. The shadow of the man sitting near the lamp centers the image to the right, so the tree also connects with the image to the angle. The man on the left walking also shapes at an awkward structure such that he was dancing on the opposite direction of the sun. The grey tone overall presents a depressing mood, which perfectly matches the information given by the clues of the image.

My Red Photo

I took this photo inside of the car, where due to the cold weather a slight fog blocks the view. Surprisingly, it worked quite well to what I achieved, where the blurry sunlight and the disoriented house formed a dreamy view. There is a clear texture of the fog, but the focus is quite awkward (with a little bit of abstraction). Although there is no specific person, this street photography still can be achieved with the elements such as balance and composition, therefore I chose this to be a red photo.
