HW1-Photo Description

Select a photograph of New York by one of the photographers below that you did not work with in class. Look for a photograph that really speaks to you and that you think is very visually engaging. Identify the photograph with the name of the photographer and the name of the photograph and write a short description of its content. Most importantly, identify what is the mood or feeling of the photograph. Please include a link to the photograph so I can easily find it.

Then write a second paragraph describing the photographer’s use of line, shape, pattern, balance, and contrast of light and dark in the photograph. How do these elements help create the mood or feeling of the photograph?

Minimum 300 words. Post (not comment) to openLab. Select the category HW1.
