composition- John Hedgecoe

composition is about what you do and don't have in the photograph and where things are placed and arranged in the photo.


FACTUAL: this is a photograph by john hedgecoe, a British photographer. He has made over 30 books on photography.
CONTEXT: it is a photograph of Henry Moore. Its a black and white photograph, like most of his work.
TECHNICAL:  I think this will have been maybe taken on a film camera obviously with black and white film in. He has then developed it. i think it will not have been a digital photograph just in black and white because it has a old look to it that black and white digital can't get, and the lighting also has a strong contrast you normally get with film.
AESTHETIC:  i like this photograph because of the old look of it, and the strong contrast in black and white. looking at this i want to take more photographs in black and white. and i like the composition of his head looking through his hands.
