This photograph is strong because of its simplicity and the strong color relations. Its also the spacing and the focal point it gives because of the triangle the two objects make in relation to the one thing on the wall. The way that the bricks seem to fade into the left side of the photograph.

I believe this image works very well with the way that all of the lines connect within the image to make every aspect of the photograph come together. The muted colors give the photograph its own feeling that also plays off of how the photograph was composed in the space.

To me this photograph looks like a simple snapshot of what was for lunch, a sort of documentation rather than a photograph that was thought out. The out of focus makes me think it was not that important. To me this photograph does not work out to its potential.

Philip-Lorca diCorcia



The photograph shown has great contrasting colors. The red in the wall brings your eye strait to the subject of the photograph the man in the window with a blue tint. The way that the window outlines the subject makes the mystery of the photograph pop. 

Susan Meiselas



Monimbo woman carrying her dead husband home to be buried in their backyard, near Managua, Nicaragua, June 1978–July 1979 Meiselas’s presentation demonstrates not only her skill, but also an characteristic of her work throughout her career. Meiselas’s work which focus directly on victims of institutionalized violence and war. Her use of color to make the subject pop makes the image more emotional. 

Brad Carlile



Photographs depicting hotel rooms in which time and space fade into each other. A time-intensive technique that captures the evolution of light and emphasizes change in vivid colors. He shoots multiple exposures over the course of days in order to produce each image, which is created in-camera and on-film with no digital manipulation. This shows the day's intervals of changing light existing concurrently. The colors in his photography look so vivid and unreal.

Steve McCurry


The bright red hand prints give this image a very unhappy feel to me. the use of color is what makes this photograph so successful with out the different colored walls the photograph would just be another boy running in a street.

Art Wolfe


His stunning images interpret and record the world's fast-disappearing wildlife. As in this photograph the color peaking through the silhouette of the plants makes the subject more of a mystery. His photographs are recognized throughout the world for their mastery of color, composition and perspective.
