The document photograph does a great job of capturing the subject’s emotion. The inclusion of all the subject’s facial details allows the viewer to notice his expressions of joy. The background of the photo is de-emphasized so it does not take away attention from the focal point. The light and shadows captured in the background are also beneficial to the subject. The viewer can gain a better understanding of where the light in the photograph is coming from. It also creates a symmetrical balance between subject and background. There is almost a perfectly straight line of division between the light and dark sides of the photograph which runs down from the background to the figure’s arm. The cat in this photo is a bit of a visual distraction. A way to improve the photo would be to not have the cat block the figure’s face. By doing this the entire face can be seen and a fuller expression of the subject’s emotion is on display. The symbolism in your symbolic photo is clear and distinct. I am able to see that his uniform leads to many other deeper meanings, such as his job or his pride. The spacial depth in the photo allows the figure standout as the subject. The highlights on the left side of the figure also add more of an emphasis on him. The browns and greens found on the uniform and in the surrounding nature him create unity and balance throughout the image. The colors on the uniform and in the background are also divided by their values. The uniform being in the shade and all of the nature being in the broad daylight help to separate the two pieces. A way to improve this image would be to reframe it so the car on the right-side of the frame is not included. By removing the car from the frame, it will help direct the viewer’s attention towards the figure instead of the side of the photograph. The environmental photo is able to show the individual’s personal space. The photograph shows a lot of emphasis on the computer monitor which leads the eye to only focus on this point. I think the lighting in the photo does a great job at highlighting the figure. It also helps lead the eye from the figure to the computer monitor. The lines in the image, such as those in the background, on the keyboard, and on the monitor, help navigate the eye throughout the image. A way to improve the image would be to put an equal balance of focus on the subject and the environment. The bright screen being dead center of the image draws the viewers attention straight towards it and not the rest of the scene. Creating a balance between both figure and environment will help the viewer not solely keep their focus on one piece of the composition.
