Compare and Contrast: William Eggelston

My response to William Eggleston

OverallĀ  I think that both images are very similar in looks and skills. Both of these images where taken using the natural daylight of the sun and during golden hour,which has created an effect that has increased the overall saturation and vibrancy of the colours. The images both have a similar colour palette, blue being the main colour. The two images could be compared to what house and the way that people live like in the US compared to the Uk. Conceptually the Eggleston’s image could be used to represents the ideas that are the main images for Americans, as the TV antenna in the center of the frame, where as my image has a chimney in the center of the frame, which could signify that in the UK people care more about coming around a fire as a family more than watching the Tv where as in the us it could be the other way. The images are also very similar in relation of the colour palette of the images, My image has more earthly tones where as Eggleston’s has more white and brighter colours. But I think that it is quite evident to see the similarities between the pieces and that the techniques that where used by William Eggleston I have been able to transfer over to my work.
