3 Paragraph Response and Review. Subject - Brian Matthew Hart and his Art.
Brian Hart is a photographer; however, he is not the type of photographer you may be thinking of. Instead of taking high quality pictures of nature and etc., he utilizes the shutter speed option in his camera to create art, with light. Usually people don't utilize the shutter speed option in a camera to its full potential, and even Hart admits that the camera is tool of potential that we haven't discovered yet. This makes Hart completely unique compared to other artists that use a camera to capture light, color, and motion. So how is Hart able to utilize his camera to achieve such an impressive result? Like said earlier, Hart uses the shutter speed option to capture big amounts of light over time while the camera captures all of it. First he has to find a relatively dark place to commit to his art. If not done well, the light will leak onto the photo and the whole picture may be ruined. Then you have to find an object to outline with light, once done well you can find yourself taking a flashlight and outlining the object. After a certain period of time the camera finally takes the final result and you have a ton of light oriented outlines in the final result. Later the photo is edited in Photoshop for a clearer outline, and then exported to the internet. What makes his art unique is the creativeness he puts in the pictures. Hart goes in the most absurd places and has the most absurd ideas, and makes them work. 1. Composition: The composition of this image has earned the highest tally mark of 14. The amount of objects in this image that are brought out by the angle is the best thing that I made sure to include in this image.
2. Subject Matter: In this picture above I failed to outline the main focus point. It was meant to be the camera but it was far too small in the picture to get enough tally marks. 3. Creativity: This picture is doing second best in terms of tally marks. It has achieved this state due to the place where the image was taken. The body of water is differentiated by the trees and the land on the opposite side. 4. Technique/Camera Control: The camera control in this image highlights the composition; however, it fails to highlight the main focal point. If I would have been able to take the picture at an angle and capture the camera shown on the left, I would have got many more tally marks. IMAGE 1
Q: What is the focal point? A: The focal point of this image rests on the plant shadow, because it differentiates the image from the background (the wall). Q: What makes that object or area emphasized? A: The background is very bland. The uniqueness of the shape of the shadow is what puts and emphasis on the picture. Q: Does the image use the rule of thirds? A: Yes, the image uses the rule of thirds. Q: What would you change about the image if you could redo it? A: I believe the image is done very well, and I wouldn't redo anything. Q: What is the most successful part of the image? A: The most successful part of the image is the shadow itself. It is placed very nicely and is pleasing to the eye. IMAGE 2 Q: What is the focal point? A: The focal point of the picture is the watch. Q: What makes that object or area emphasized? A: The watch takes up most of the space in the actual picture, therefore making it the emphasized object. Q: Does the image use the rule of thirds? A: Yes, the watch rests on the right hand of the picture, which screams the rule of thirds. Q: What would you change about the image if you could redo it? A: I would take the image from a different angle for a higher emphasis on the shadow instead of the watch. Q: What is the most successful part of the image? A: The most successful part of the image was the rule of thirds and how the objects are placed. |
