The composition of this photo is so well done. I really love the way the two boys are dressed in white, and the girl in black. And the fact that it is done in black and white shows the contrast between the relationship of the three people. Is it a love triangle? Are they siblings? What is the pull between the two boys that there is such a heavy contrast in color from the girl between the two boys? The way they are positioned suggests that the girl is reliant on the boy on the bottom, but the boy on top can’t let go of her or wants to push her down.
This was such a cool photo series. The picture was taken of a bunch of different people all lined up and staged sitting, standing, etc. The photo was cut up so that each person had their own frame, but it was lined up all next to each other in the same order that the photo was taken in. The photo, the people are all at different levels and when they cut it up, they lined them up so that all the faces were at the same level. This photo was also taken in black and white. I feel like when a photo is taken in black and white it is more honest. It separates boundaries and creates more of a collective aesthetic. I think the photographers concept was to show how each individual is different, but that we all deserve to be seen at the same equal level.
This photo is the only one that is not in black and white. I think the way this is set up is so compositionally interesting: he is laying in a field on a super sunny day in a thick denim dress with pants and tennis shoes. It is almost like he is in some sort of ecstasy. It makes you question what is really going on. I think this photo is successful just from the way the arms are positioned. It could mean so many things, and it makes you question what is really going on. The way the hand is covering their face in a way that you can’t really see what they are expressing leaves room for so much questioning.
