Many different aspects make up a good photo. There are technical aspects such as the composition and depth of the photo that make it more appealing to the viewer. The subjects within the photo, whether it be somebody’s hand or a mountain, have to have something unique about them which makes them appealing to look at. As well as this the photographer must focus on the lighting in the photo and use the colour to project a mood and highlight focal points. A good picture will also elicit an emotional response from the viewer; it should be like a piece of literature in which the viewer finds something to connect to and understand.
I’d like to explore architectural photography as I enjoy minimalist based pictures of buildings; there’s something very appealing about the contrast between e.g. a house and the sky above it. Specifically I like brightly coloured or somehow unusual architecture which creates quite an aesthetically pleasing picture. I also would like to explore pictures in which the focus is a single or multiple people in intriguing environments, whether it be modelling or not. I think photos look particularly artistic when they focus on a single person but their faces have been altered somehow- whether it be digitally or with paint.
I think this image is successful as it is very simplistic yet the viewers eyes are drawn towards the focal point of the lettering because of the contrast against the background. The colour and composition are very important within this image as they make it look more aesthetically pleasing; the different textures even give it a greater effect. I love images like this because of how much is said in such a simplistic manner, it tells a story to the viewer. Karl Lagerfeld once said that photographs ''capture a moment thats gone forever, impossible to reproduce'' - this has been done not only with an image but also with words here.
