Assignment #4 - Discovering "Your" Type of Photography

I would say that in general I gravitate towards photographs that involve liquid or the colours blue and/or green. I enjoy liquid textures because it makes its own boundaries and it looks appealing. The fascinating thing about liquid is that it can be manipulated to show many shades of a colour based on the lighting the photographer uses. I enjoy the colours green and blue because they occur naturally in various shades and can be especially vivid.

This photograph in particular grabbed my attention because the colours really pop and the plastic around her head turns into liquid around her body, which makes for a very striking texture. The photographer was able to capture various shades of yellow through use of lighting and the blues of her eye shadow create a contrast. When I first noticed the picture I noticed the use of colours and how bold they are compared to the rest of the scene.
