This is a photograph by Paul Strand. It is entitled 'Abstraction, Twin Lakes, Connecticut'.
I think that the photographer was interested in: line, shadow, edges, shape, abstraction and light. This photograph uses a lot of different elements, I think that the main element that is used is line (or maybe light). My title would be: I would name this piece something like 'Parallel Lines' or 'Abstract Lines'. This is because the lines of the surface are all parallel and the photo is abstract. One unusual thing about this photograph is: it makes us question what else there is on the photo because we cant see the full image and are stuck with this section only. This is quite common with abstract photos, it isn't usually clear what it is thats in the photograph. I would use: camera (obviously), I would most likely edit the photograph on photoshop, crop it, change the colour of it, etc. I think that photoshop could be a useful tool for future abstraction projects. The best thing about this photograph is: I like that theres more going on at the top of the photograph than at at the bottom of it. I like the placement of the lines, I think it looks quite interesting. I also like the tonal differences in this photo, there is more shadow than light, most of the shadow is at the bottom of the photograph. |

We gathered all of our photograms and our duotones and have created a single board featuring both photos. Whilst I was making the board I had to consider the composition of my images. I think that my board came out looking okay, I don't really like how messy the composition came out and they way that some of my images have been cut as it makes it look quite messy. If I made another board I would reconsider the composition and I would make sure to spend more time making sure that the images have been cut straight. What I do like about my board is that as each side is a different tone they sort of blend into each other which makes the board quite interesting.

This is my photo collage that I have made using five previous abstract images that I have taken. I enjoyed this task, I found it quite interesting. Whilst I was making my collage I was focusing on where all the lines in each photo were and how I can combine them into one collage. Although, I think that the main focus in this task was composition as we had to find a way to compose them altogether onto one page. I think that my collage was successful. I think that the colours of the different photos work really well together, the darker tones are quite similar to each other along with the lighter tones. The composition seems quite packed as there is a lot going on, in this collage there isn't one specific focus point although I do think that the cut out lamp stands out because its lighter than the one that was already in the photo. If I were to improve my collage I would use a trimmer instead of ripping it with a ruler.

This is my favourite image from Saul Leiter. I mainly like the composition and colours of the image. The composition of this photograph almost seems as if it is sectioned into different lines, some trips are less packed than others creating a interesting effect overall. I like the colours in this photograph due to the contrast between the bright red of the sign and blue of the sky and the contrast of the white and the black.
