Connecting Essay 2


This is a great example of how light is used to aid the formal element of movement in a photo. The photo is captured using the moving light to create shapes and outlines of way the light is travelling in. The light movement can be  chaotic and clean only depending on the when the photo was taken. In this image the main colour is black, this allows for the lights to have a better effect and flow the way that they do rather then having a distorted mess. 


This photo of mine also shows how movement and light is shown, there are squiggles of light in the photo especially to the left and the centre. The entire photo itself is rather chaotic, you can't really tell what is going on, its too distorted and it seems as if a lot is going on. I like the way in this image how the colours layer over each other, for example at the top of the image the main colour is white and as we continue down the photo we get red and green with the occasional black. 

This photos relate as the way in which they are so similar, they both use light to make the formal element of movement come to life, although they look different, the movement shows that they have similar colours and effect. The first is mostly made up of black, whereas my photo uses more colour the light blue is what the two images have in common also sharing a little bit of red apart from this both photos are very different, the first image is most likely made with a glowstick or something similar. The two images are almost the reverse of the other one as, in my photo bright colours is what makes up most of the image with little whereas the sourced image requires black for the bright colours to stand out.
