Arnold Newman:

Portrait of the photographer himself

 Born: March 3rd, 1918, New York City.
Death:June 6th, 2006, New York City.
Career: Photographer

This picture is of a man, leaning on a piano, looking towards the camera. I believe that this picture was taken during the mid-1950s(?)However, to me, there is no particular moment in time for when this was taken...However, the focal point, for me is the triangle, although most people won't see it, until you've seen the whole picture, so, in other words, you see the man, then the piano and then in between the piano and the man and then you'll see the triangle.The composition is very neat, even though it is not very colourful. The main "colours" are grey, black and white, with a few tones. There is a fair amount of light and the bright whiteness helps to bring out the shadows.

My chosen photo from our trip at Ballaglass Glen:

My chosen picture shows a tree trunk, although if you look at it from a certain perspective/position, you can see that it looks like a beast (which I have nicknamed: Ballaglass, after the glen).
This was taken a few weeks ago, on my first week back at college.
My focal point is the beast itself, because it's the first thing that my eye is drawn to.

The composition of my picture is very good, because the green leaves look as if they are framing the beast and the dark shades help show up the beast within the bright colours of the background and surroundings.

Altogether, this picture looks like something from a fantasy story, which is something that I like a lot.
