IMAGE ANALYSIS
August Sander chose to photograph this bricklayer as a part of his work ‘The People of the 20th Century’. His aim was to show all walks of life including doctors, farmers, chefs etc., in a post – WWI Germany. Sander’s photographs were the first body of work to document a culture through photography. In this photograph, the main point of focus is the man’s head, as it is being framed by the layers of bricks stacked behind him. However it could be argued that the bricks are actually the main focal point, as the man’s face is blurred, which contrasts to the in-focus bricks behind him. The way that the bricklayer is holding himself suggests to the viewer that he is proud of his profession and lifestyle, as his stance is very intimidating and authoritative. The lighting in this image appears to be coming from the upper right hand corner, and is casting a shadow across the bricklayers body whilst also illuminating and highlighting his head and the bricks stacked behind him, which again draws the viewer’s eye to these particular points of focus. There is a varying range of shadows across the photograph, with dark shadows being casted across the lower half of the man’s body on the left side of the image, whilst the right side and upper half is well-lit.

Contemporary Portrait Photography – a reference to an image created that reflects our values, challenges and perceptions today, a photograph from our own time.
Environmental portraiture is a portrait executed in the subject’s usual environment, for example their home or workplace, and typically illuminates the subject’s life and surroundings.
Analysis
This is an environmental portrait of Chicago artist John A. Kurtz in his studio. The location of this photograph makes it an environmental portrait because its where he works and spends most of his time.
The composition and framing of this image draws the eves of the viewer to the center of the image where the subject is. This is through the use of out of focus furniture in the foreground, such as the door frame on the right and book shelf on the left. This gives the effect of looking through a gap to have a sneak peak of someones work life.
The darker shadows created by the furniture in the foreground create a vignette around the sides on the image, again drawing attention to the subject in the image. This effect was created by using a low aperture, probably around f/5.6. Along with this the ISO and shutter speed will have been tweaked to achieve a clear light image in the moderately dark room that it was shot in.
The colour palette of the photograph is mostly earthy colours. Shadows have been darkened and highlights have been lessened to create a more moody feel and tone to the image, but still keeping the vibrancy of the colourful objects on his desk.
When editing this image, the curves appears to have been changed to an s-curve, meaning the darks have been darkened, and the lights have been lightened, creating more contrast within the image.
