This is a photo of Luci Johnson, the daughter of President Lyndon Johnson. This photo appeared on the magazine, Life International on June 1, 1964.
To me, the photo above makes me feel quite calm because even thought the person in the photo is an important person, she doesn't look very scary or intimidating. I think that she looks like a serious yet fun person. Her clothing makes her look mature and color of her dress (light blue) tells me that she is a fun and bright person. If she wore a grey dress instead of a light blue dress, I think that she would look like a very serious, slightly scary woman. I think that her pearl necklace and gold bracelet make her look sophisticated and quite rich. I don't think that the background matter's much in this particular photograph, but I noticed that she appears to be outside, but the lighting seems to be unnatural. The shadows on her face are rather light.
The 3 Variables of Photography
The 3 variables of photography are Lighting, Camera Angle, and Proximity. These variables can be organized differently to make the viewer feel a certain way. Photos can make you feel happy, sad, annoyed, nostalgic, inspired, curious, etc. This all depends on how the photo was taken. There are other things that can help you decide about how you feel about a photograph, such as:
The Background: Where was this photo taken?
Wardrobe: What is the person in the photo wearing?
Props: Are they holding anything? Do they have any accessories on them?
It's true what they say about how clothes make the man or women in this case. I like how you described how this photo made you feel, overall I liked your writing style here.
ReplyDeleteI also liked how you described how you felt about the photo. Your paragraph could of used a description on how you think others would of think about the photo, but overall great job.
ReplyDeleteThis is good. I like what you said about her wardrobe, very true.
