Taken outside Bain hall on the rugTaken in Denville, NJ
For photo one I chose the banana because the bright yellow would drag the eye to the center of the photo. The face from the photo brings emotion and humor to the photo as well. For photo two I chose the big rice krispies treat because the candy was the focal point of the photo and the bright blue color would also bring the eye to the center of the photo.
The lighting in the first photo plays a big role in the yellowness of the banana and the brightness of the face, making the photo more joyful. This photo was taken in the morning near 10 AM. The second photos lighting plays more of a minor role and lightens up the face a little bit since the photo was taken indoors around 2PM.
the composition for photo one is Pattern disruption. all of the grey around the photo is disrupted by the yellow and the color of the face. Photo twos composition is symmetry because the photo is lined up the middle and positioned in the center of the photo.
The reason for why I chose the banana and the face in photo one to colorize was because it fit the title of the pictures and it draws interest to what the person is holding. Simon also really loves bananas! For photo two i chose the face and food because the emphasis of the photo revolves around the food with the photo being taken in a candy store.
I took the first photo using a short lens. While editing the photo i turned down the saturation and enhanced the brightness of the banana. I took the second photo on an iPhone and while editing I turned down the saturation to 0 and enhanced the food and the face.
Advice I would give to the photographers next year is to find a special area to take the photo. Another piece of advice is to make sure the area you’re taking the photo in is bright and shows emotion. Make sure the food is fun!
