Image Evaluation
The photo captures a moment in black and white, capturing two women’s sudden expressions. The woman on the left appears startled, her wide eyes expressing surprise, while the woman on the right wears a stern, judgmental look. The blurred figures in the background enhance the bustling atmosphere, and the lighting emphasizes the emotional tension between the two women.
Vision
My vision for set 2 is capturing sudden moments and emotions in the busy urban scene, my main goal is to spot the variety of emotions human-beings could have. I will use the get really close technique to capture images like Bruce Gilden. I want the viewers to think that the photo I took clearly reflects on what the person is thinking about or what kind of situation they’re in.
