Technical
The lighting on Alfried is almost certainly artificial because of the way the that the light seems to come from a particular and specific height which then creates a shadow which seems to portray Alfried Newman as evil or even sinister.
The lighting looks to be positioned above Arnold whilst being angled down towards Alfried which in turn creates these menacing shadows, setting a mood within the picture
Visual
It seems that Newman chose a green filter which creates a powerful colour overall adding to the mood of the image. There is a very dark tone present despite the lighting. The texture is evident.
The composition seems to be mainly focused on the eye contact that Alfried makes with the lens and then how everything behind him is very busy, creating a sinister feel to the image.
Contextual
Alfried is known to supply nazi germany throughout WW2 shows that Newman intended to create this evil character especially as some of his Jewish family members lost their life due to the Nazi’s.
Conceptual
The idea of the image seems to be to explain how evil people create normal things to be used for bad and so the image is quite hard hitting.
aLTERED LANDSCAPES
For this topic, I deemed photos which were taken in Florida by myself were most appropriate.
LANDSCAPE
- who you are photographing?
Landscapes - what you are photographing?
beaches , outside areas, urban landscapes, suitable previously taken pictures
- when you are conducting the shoot?
I aim to start the shoot on Sunday afternoon - where you are working/ location?
St Ouen’s bay, Grouville, around St clement area, also using photos previously taken - why you are designing the shoot in this way?
So I can get a range in different forms of landscape and nature - how you are going to produce the images (lighting / equipment etc)? Try using exposure bracketing and begin to use manual settings on my camera, I may switch to automatic focus to be able to capture a perfect image.
