Final Three

The reason I picked these three photos is that I think they work really well as a pair. Each image encourages the viewer to think more deeply about what is happening because there is less visual information than in your average photo. The negative space is clearly defined by the sharp angles, while the small details, like the trees in the corner, add subtle points of interest. All three of my photos were intentionally composed to emphasize the negative space and highlight the dark objects within the frame. By reducing distractions, the viewer’s attention is drawn to the shapes and contrasts that create the composition’s overall impact. I wanted the simplicity to make the images more thought-provoking and to show how even small details can change the way we perceive a scene. Overall, the three photos complement each other while maintaining their own unique visual qualities.

This photo is really cool because of how simple but powerful it looks. The person climbing is shown as a dark silhouette, which makes them stand out clearly against the bright background. You can’t see their face or details, but that actually makes it more interesting since the focus is on what they’re doing instead of who they are. The way they’re holding onto the tall structure makes the picture feel full of energy and determination, like they’re pushing themselves to reach the top. The plain sky makes the whole scene look clean and bold, and even the little bit of tree in the corner adds a nice touch so it’s not just empty space. Overall, it gives off a feeling of adventure and strength, and it’s the kind of photo that makes you stop and really look at it.
This photo looks really cool because of the way it uses contrast. The dark shapes of the building and tree stand out sharply against the bright white sky, which makes the whole picture feel dramatic. The roof on the left has strong, straight lines, while the tree on the right has softer, natural shapes, and that balance makes it interesting to look at. The empty space of the sky keeps the picture simple and focused, so your eyes go straight to the main parts of the photo. The angles of the roof guide your eyes upward, while the branches pull them across, giving the photo a nice flow. Overall, it feels calm but mysterious, almost like the picture is telling a story without showing too much.
This photo looks dramatic because the big dark shape of the building takes up most of the left side, making it feel really tall and a little mysterious. On the right side, the trees and branches balance it out, so the picture doesn’t feel empty. The black silhouettes against the bright sky make everything look sharp and bold, which is simple but really eye-catching. The angle makes the building seem even bigger, while the trees add some softer, natural shapes to contrast with it. Overall, the picture feels strong and a little moody, but also calm at the same time.
