Minimalism Photography 1

1) Minimalism in photography includes color, shape, line, and texture. The minimalism is an art movement. The qualities that the minimalist photographs possesses are in the image something should catch the eye of the audience and the rest of the image should just be one simple color.

This image is using a solid color and pattern. Using the color yellow for the background the focus goes right to the green leaf.

  
This image creates a lonely mood. I would say this subject is a young girl who sits by herself cause she doesn't have anyone to talk to and friends.


This image uses a dark color background of orange and focuses on the man walking. It appears that he is all by himself and walking himself on a long journey.

The change in viewpoint change my interpretation in this image is that it's not photoshopped. The description of the image is that the man is climbing the young girls' face. The young girl is pale, has green eyes, dirty brown hair, and as you can see her lips are very chapped. The image that was taken in Ireland it has a body of water and the billboard is on land. These are both the same image's just the 2nd  image was zoomed into the girl's face. The size could affect the meaning of the image because mounting it to the billboard you wouldn't tell what's going on with the image. The location I would say a Industrial area because it is surrounded by a area of water and the billboard is on a building with a bridge attached. Who would see this image is either walking around on the area, being on their boats, and riding there cars on the road. The young girl has a blank expression on her face. It looks as if the young girl is lost and confused. For the title "The Last Girl" I think it suggests like she's the last young girl to suffer.
