Robin


Type: Gallery Image | Not Vetted


Robin 1 innocent

Innocent:  I took the photo outside my apartment. I saw the sky was looking beautiful so I just took the photo of the sky with the fence of the memorial. The graves and the trees made the photo beautiful.

Constructed : I believe, I’ve succeeded to take the photo. As per the book, even before we make something subject of art, its already artifice. So, I have taken the photo just after looking but the beauty was there before taking the photo and after as well. In my second photo, I adjusted the frame. I took the gate of the memorial which shows the real story of the photo I believe. In this photo, the land is not just a land, it connects the graves to the trees and the trees to the sky in my eyes. I wanted to highlight these connections

Argument: In my third photo, I have taken the road as much as I could frame it including the sky, the big tree. The big tree is the thing that I placed in the scene. The first photo was just a picture of the land with my innocent eyes but the last one is not. It's a landscape where the big tree is mark in my eyes. In this photo, there are many trees but the big one is visible and noticeable by anyone who would see the photo. Just beside the tree, the gate of the fence is which shows the connection between everything earlier I mentioned including the tree now.
