Photo Anaylsis

This photo in particular is one of favorites from my shoot, it has a very large depth of field which lets you explore all parts of the photo well, you start by seeing the plain coloured wall and then as you scan the picture from left to right you start to notice the candy coloured buildings and signs. This composition layout means that no one will miss any part of the photo as they look at it.

The tones of the photo are very dark closer to the viewer but as you scan backwards they are very bright and colourful, this colour scheme could show the fantasy side of Jersey that people imagine, a world where everything is vibrant colours. I have left the roads and the front building normal colours purposely so the viewer can follow the road down with their eyes and scan the picture.

Taxi Rank candy

I also like how the reflection in the windows shows a glare of the green and pink that has been mixed onto the buildings,  it shows that whatever is reflecting off the windows is that colour as well and stays with the theme of the candy coloured. The dark shadows behind the taxi rank portray the darkness and cold side of Jersey and then the other side of it portrays the fantasy side that everyone wants, with the sun out and all the vibrant colours shown.

This photo is similair to both Matt Crump and Jerry Uelsmann. It has the Matt Crump feel because of the bright and vibrant colours on the buildings and the sky, it is similair to Uelsmann’s work because of how intricate the photo is when you observe it more closely, a lot of Uelsmann’s work is in black and white but his work mixed with Crump’s would come out something like this photo.
