Land people and a combination

Ansel Adams


The picture to the left is a photo taken by Ansel Adams.  It was taken at Yellow Stone National Park and in the year or 1948.  This photo has beautiful contrast between the tree trunk and the white of the snow.   I believe that the photo's composition is not very interesting but the subject itself is.  The tree's branches look very ornate and fragile which give the photo a exquisite and elegant look.   The tree looks extremely large compared to the other trees that were in the background of the photograph.   It makes the viewer wonder if the tree is really that big of if he took the photo from an interesting perspective.

Diane Arbus

here we have a photo called Puerto Rican Woman with a Beauty Mark which was take in 1965.  First off i love the composition of this photography.  It takes up the entire frame with allows the viewer to focus on the subject.  Also how this image is so close up to the woman is nice as well.  It is nice because normally when one does portraits, it is of their whole or has more of their body in it.  this one is just their head with makes the photo a little more personal.

Jerry N. Uelsmann


This photo is a combination of the two.  He does multiple exposures.   I like how he merges the landscape and the portrait of the woman into one photo.  it has an interesting composition and a uniqueness to it as well.  The contrast of the photo is beautiful as well.  There is an amazing amount of detail that is shown here and the photography is assembled beautifully
