Lighting

                    In this photo the light is used to help portray the mood. The light was placed in front of her face so that only one side of her body was illuminated. The orange light and the expression on her face go together in creating the calming mood. The shadows that are created over her face, hiding her face, make the expression and the mood even more mysterious.

The light in this photo was also used to help create the mood. With the door 
opening to the light shadows are being created. The orange glow of the light, pouring out of the room, help in the mystery of what is behind the door.
The light in this photo helps make the composition balanced. The light is giving 
off an orange glow, that are shown on the wire and the telephone poll, are put u against the blue glow of the sky.

Abstraction

 



       In these photographs I focused on the way that the shapes are arranged in the picture plane. In the first picture the shape cuts right through the picture plane. In the second picture the shape is placed on the picture plane. In both pictures the reflections play a role, creating more shapes within. The colors of the shapes are also mimicked throughout the background, helping  the composition. In both pictures, the depth of field helps with the juxtaposition of the shape in the foreground, which are detailed, and those created in the background, which are blurry.
