Yellow Shots:

I chose these yellow shots because they capture the essence of the colors and brightness in the modern world. These images capture different scenes that show people in action, as the shots were taken without them knowing. It makes the photos look more natural and flow better. I tried to find places where there were interesting actions or colors so that made my images grab the audience’s attention. This relates to the artist I chose, as Herzog tried to capture photos with neon colors/lights.

Green Shots:

The green shots I chose support more of my vision than the yellow photos. Because the photos were taken outside, some of the photos weren’t in focus or they were over exposed/under exposed. I chose the ones that were focused the most and the lighting made sense in the photo. These photos also look more natural and showed some decisive moments. I used different rules, such as the rule of thirds, to keep the subject in the center, as it draws attention to the details in the photo and the colors that pop. Most importantly, these photos were able to capture the natural movement and expressions of people as they are doing daily activities.

Red Shots:

I chose these 2 red shots from the green shots. I believe that these two photos show my vision. Though they aren’t connected, these two photos show different perspectives of my vision and connect to my artist. There are different pops of color in both photos, especially bright colors. The orange lights in the first photo and the red shirt in the second photo attract the audience, as it shows similarities with the neon colors in Herzog’s photographs. Both photos also show people in action, doing their daily jobs. In the first photo, I was able to take a picture of someone delivering takeout, as I captured the person in motion. The placement of the person in the photo shows the rule of center, which is one of the 20 concepts that I studied before taking the photographs. It draws attention to the motion of the person in daily life, creating a sense of calmness. The second photo uses the rule of thirds, as the worker is in the right side of the photo, gathering ice from the machine. I was able to capture the worker in motion, making the photo look natural. There are also lights on the wall that add texture and brightness to the photo.
