Photography (blogpost 6.0)

This photo was taken in 2010 by Chris Jones.
The photo is of a chair found in an abandoned building. This photo meets the requirements of fantastic lighting, color, and gives a good angle. It also follows the rule of thirds. Aside from the aesthetics being pleasing, this photo makes me want to read the story that may or may not go along with it. It makes me question the existence of that chair, why is it facing the window? Why is it the only piece of furniture in this abandoned room? Why is the room abandoned in the first place? If this photo was featured in a story, it would pull me in and make me want to read. 

This photo was taken in 2008 in Sagarmatha National Park in Nepal by Joao Paulo Barbosa (from Brazil).

This photo has a lot of depth in the landscape as well as a neat perspective: the angle looks through the prayer rags and the himalayas sit in the background. There are many colors in the photo and well as interesting light and contrast.


Should I write my story on art after high school, I have to be careful with how I photograph my subject. There are many typical photos leaning over the shoulder of students as they draw. I need to find a way to make the pictures more personal.
