Reflection: 

To start off, I noticed when I was looking at his photos that they were most if not all of them were in black and white. Also, his photos mainly show angles, textures of different kinds such as peeling paint, and some showed symmetry from the different curves and shapes such as the "S" shape shown in some of his not popular photographs. I was inspired to do a tree and trash can photograph(s). I think the tree shows the different textures within in the branches and also shows the "C" shape. For the trashcan, it shows that the paint has been peeled off in some way and showed the "S" shape for the form or composition of the trashcan. In my work, I incorporated the idea of how texture and shapes can play off of each other like how Siskind incorporated some of these concepts in his work too.

Assignment #4: Composition

Image
Composition: Contrast ISO: 500 F-Stop: f/8 Shutter Speed: 1/200 This picture was captivating for me because of the green background with the prominent white flowers. The white flowers bring out the brightness and lighting in the picture with the texture of the green leaves. Also the bundle of the four flowers going in different directions gives the audience a new perspective and makes the audience satisfied. Composition: Leading Lines ISO: 160 F-Stop: f/11 Shutter Speed: 1/100 This is another one of the my favorites because the overall picture is mostly surrounded by darkness but the little bit of light shines through. The leading lines come from the sun because that "flash" attracts the audience's eye to the little bit of the sunset in the background instead of someone taking a picture of a huge sunset. Also, the colors of the houses have a "reflection" and draws the audience's eyes to the variety of colors shown.
