Photo analysis

Nadav kander has used some good clothes to make this a great photo and the clothes make him look like he is going to go to work at an office or he has just come home from work and is leaning against the wall and the mood this guy looks like he is in a bad mood after he has come home from work or he is in a bad mood before he has gone to work because someone has annoyed him but he looks like he focusing on something that is either going past or a particular object. The colour he is wearing a sort of brown suit and jumper and a brown and white shirt I think he chose this because it could blend in with the white wall in the background or it is the light that makes it blend in to the background and I have just noticed that there is a blue bit at the bottom just so that it makes the wall look more interesting

three point lightning

Three-point lighting is a standard method used in visual media such as theatre, video, film, still photography and computer-generated imagery. By using three separate positions, the photographer can illuminate the shot's subject however desired, while also controlling the shading and shadows produced by direct lighting. In indoor shots, the key is commonly a specialized lamp, or a camera's flash. In outdoor daytime shots, the Sun often serves as the key light. In this case, of course, the photographer cannot set the light in the exact position he or she wants, so instead arranges it to best capture the sunlight, perhaps after waiting for the sun to position itself just right. In some situations a photographer can use a reflector (such as a piece of white cardstock mounted off-camera, or even a white-painted wall) as a fill light instead of an actual lamp. Reflecting and redirecting the key light's rays back upon the subject from a different angle can cause a softer, subtler effect than using another lamp.

A three point system in theatre can be used in a variety of ways to help set a mood of the character. By having bright key light, but minimal fill and back light, this will give the effect of anger, whereas if the scene is very brightly lit with little shadow on the actor, this can make the scene look very happy.

binary opposition

A binary opposition is a pair of related terms or concepts that are opposite in meaning. Binary opposition is the system by which, in language and thought, two theoretical opposites are strictly defined and set off against one another. It is the contrast between two mutually exclusive terms, such as on and off, up and down, left and right. Binary opposition is an important concept of structuralism, which sees such distinctions as fundamental to all language and thought. In structuralism, a binary opposition is seen as a fundamental organizer of human philosophy, culture, and language.

compairing photos

i think that the 1st photo is using a lot of colors and planting them all over the picture and using a lot objects and the second one is the same but its using less objects
