Reflections & Shadow Journal

reflection photos:

This image a black and white photo of flexed hands reflecting in water.
The flexed fingers create curved lines.
I like this photo because the reflection is sharp and its like 4 hands in the same photo.


This phto shows zebraz drinking out of a lake and their reflection is in the lake.
There are cool curved lines on the zebras
I like this photo because it looks like the zebras are infront of a mirror


Shadows:

This is a photo of a dog who is backlit and its shadow is bein casted infront of it
This black and white photo has simplicity.
I like this photo because its kind of sad and the dogs body shape is cool and elongated in the shadow.



This is a photo of coulmns backlit by the sun and the coulmns are casting shadows.
The shadows create vertical lines
I like this photo because of the different shapes(the semi-circular coulmns, and vertical lines)
I also really like the lighting.


Ideas:
Reflections in water and mirrors of people, plants, animals
Reflections is unusal things like sunglasses shades.
Shadows like of people creating shapes with their hands
Shadows of tall buildings
Shdows animals, plants, etc,
Shadows of twisted objects.



Underwater Photography

Christy Rogers work is dark but still has muted bright pops of color. It is very swirled together and doesnt have a distinct shape unless you look at it closely. Its very abstract and beautiful. The pictures look aged but are brightened up with the pops of color. They all have human figures somewhere in them.


How has her work been described by other critics?
Her work has been described as timeless but still contemporary, with contrast of dark and light. It was also described as dreamy on the surface but underneath are sjharp and contorted figures and shapes.








Other underwater photos:

I love this photo because of the distinct shapes of the dress, and how the lighting is directly on the model. It is sharp but still faded.

 

I like this picture because of all the bright colors and how the pink constrasts the blue. I also like the rippled reflection of the mofel above her, it shows 2 different views.

 

I like the dark coloring of this photo,but how it has distinct lines of light going across his body. I also like how the light centers on his hand then gets darker and darker away from his hands.

 

 

 

Ideas for my shoot:

• bright colored flowers
• different collored marbles
• food packaging
• food coloring swirls
