I think this photograph is the most successful one as I included shadows on the lower ground, diagonal lines from the buildings across the landscape frame and I tried to fill the frame from left to right similarly to Stephen Shore's Gallup, New Mexico photograph.

This photograph is least successful because it does not look similar to Stephen Shore's type of photographs. I centred the walkway in the centre and took a picture of it as a 'X' shape from down below which is not Stephen Shores technique; he photographs from where he is and uses straight ahead shot, his photographs mainly consist of buildings and street views which differs from my photograph here.

This photograph was successful because you can see a distinctive shadow on the left side of the frame and I included a sign post on the right side as many of Stephen Shore's photographs subject matter includes many street sign posts.
I really like the splash of vibrant colours in this photograph from the buildings as it goes well with the bright blue sky. The sun is on the right side of the photograph which created a shadow outline on the building on the left; I think this is similar to Stephen Shore style.

I think this is a successful photograph because of the framing of the work is similar to one of Stephen Shore's photograph from 'Uncommon places' where the cars are all lined up side to side in a parking lot. There is also a small light focus on the further back building and the rest of the subject is dark, this is the opposite lighting focus of the ' Gallup, New Mexico' photograph above.
The foreground in this photograph is very dark due to the shadows from the buildings dominating the bottom half of the frame. It contrasts to the middle top half of the photograph as the road acts as a pathway and the light follows the outline; I think this photograph is successful as it gives a simplistic look on the building because the light ray is in straight block shape.

Tom Hunter - 'Death of Coltelli'
|
A while ago in class I analysed Tom Hunter's: 'Death of Coltelli' photograph. I analysed that this photograph was staged and he did not use any artificial lighting. During the lecture we asked how he photographed this photo and he said it was indeed staged but the context of it was real with the granddaughter laying on her grandmothers deathbed; the stains were real. Tom said he used very strong artificial light so that it would focus on the bed as the natural light was not very bright that day.
