Week 3--Technology

I played with natural lighting in this photo in order to bring out the highlights of the stereo buttons. I found the shape of volume dial, as well as the control buttons to be interspersed nicely through the photo, so they lead the viewer's eye throughout the piece.

I loved the contrast of the black numbers and hands of the clock with the white face, and in photoshop I tried to bring that out as much as I could. I think space is an important element in this piece; there isn't an overload of positive or negative space what with the hands and numerals, so overall the piece feels balanced.

Color saturation was key to the success of this photo; the green screen and power button helped differentiate the focal points from the rest of the photograph. Pattern and repetition are the main elements used; the pattern of the key pad and repetition of circular buttons gives the picture a sense of unity. 

This photo was basically a study in monochrome; except for a few whites and reds, it is almost entirely black. And I really liked the perspective I took it, so the cassette player almost looks foreshortened. I believe this unique perspective adds more depth to the photo than otherwise would be possible.

Again, contrast was a huge part of this photo; the black against the white. Also, the yellow circle juxtaposed with the whiteish silver power button added a sense of movement to the piece. Rule of thirds was applied in the composition, to make it more interesting.
