   I looked at pictures taken by Eugene Richard in the stepping through the ashes gallery. I like the eighth picture in the gallery.This picture is of a silhoutte standing against a wall and looking sideways looking at the ash and also whats left of some kind of city or town.This photograph can be an advertsing photograph for times magazines.It can a photograph featured for magazine cover story.This photograph is meant is show a time when things where felling apart.The photograph is dark with mostly high key tones and high contrast. The photograph shows extensive depth of field and is filled with direct light. Everything in the photograph is all in focus since the lighting gives the whole photo a darkness and blackness shade. The lines in the photograph are diagonal with a shallow space. The figure has a positive space with the shadow being isolated and standing out in front of the background of buildings being taller and the most important element in the overall picture.The buildings or cities are faded into the background but still important because it stills helps tells the story behind the photo. The photo gives a physical and emotional impact of sorrow and heartbreak. This photograph relates to others ones in the same series because all the photos deal with sorrow and tragic with the dark colors and their shadows.
