DESCRIPTION 1
The general picture structure and form
The picture is black and white and the col-
ors are pretty contrasted and dark. On the
background there are some hardwood trees,
leafy bushes and a grey sky. In the middle
of the photo there are two young girls,
children, standing on the grassy ground
which also has a lot of leaves. The picture
is vertical and pretty narrow. The girls
are looking directly at the camera and are
very close to each other, almost holding
hands. You can see the girls completely,
and it’s not a snapshot but a clearly pose
picture.
The subject
There are two young girls, about the same
age of 11-13, standing and looking directly
at the camera. They look very polished and
formal. The girl standing on the left is
shorter than the other girl, and she has
blonde, long braided hair tied on down with
greyish ribbons, a black, a jacket that
stops on the knees and has 2 buttons which
are all closed, white tights and black bal-
lerinas. She’s standing with her legs to-
gether. The taller girl, who’s standing on
the right side, has the same clothes but in
different colors. Her jacket is a little
over the knee, grey and has four buttons
(closed) and her tights are black, so are
her shoes. Her hair is also braided but
brown. Her legs aren’t together but more
open. They have similar facial expressions
and look pretty serious and grim, kind of
like they’d be looking at the sun and
squinting their eyes, but they don’t look
angry or anything. They are shown in a neu-
tral, more positive way.
The light
The lighting isn’t really anything special,
just a natural light you’d see outside on a
normal, cloudy day. It comes from every-
where but mostly from the front and above.
I’d say that the shades aren’t a big part
of the photo.
The atmosphere
The atmosphere is pretty neutral to me. Maybe
it’s a bit serious and kind of anxious because
of the girl’s looks, but I feel calm. The girls
are shown in a more positive than negative way
as said before but are pretty neutral.

DESCRIPTION 17
The image is horizontal. The photo is taken from the front. In the centre of the image there is a little girl walk-
ing on the beach near the sea. The sky is beautiful and the sand is grayish brown. The sun is setting and to the right side of the picture and the shadow of the girl reaches the left side. There is no artificialal light.
The girl is wearing a red christmas wrapper on her like a coat and a silver christmas decoration ribbon wrapped around her. The
wind makes the christmas wrapper sway on the left side
She has also striped christmassy pantyhose and grey socks but no shoes. She is dragging a small christmas tree or one branch of
it behind her. She is looking slightly to the left (sea). She has been walking a long time, the footprints and dragging marks
are visible on the beach. The image makes me think of Christmas.

DESCRIPTION 3
The general picture structure and form
The picture is black and white and it mostly con-
sists of different shades of grey. The back-
ground is all pitch-black making it clear and
dark. The picture is almost twice as high as it
is wide and in the middle is a young man standing
sideways to the camera. He fills the majority of
the picture. Only his right side is showing. The
bottom of this picture cuts his legs so we only
see his upper body.
The subject
The young man is wearing a t-shirt with rolled up
sleeves. He also has jeans on with a simple belt.
The whole clothing is on the darker side. The
man’s posture is slightly slouched. His hand is
bending a little forward at his side and his head
and eyes are turned a little bit to the right.
His gaze is piercing.
The light
The light comes from the bottom left corner of
the picture making only the man’s left side
lighted. The shadows create a dark and mysterious
finish.
The atmosphere
In my opinion the man is somewhat kind looking
but at the moment he is annoyed by something.
There is some kind of tension in the picture and
although it is a portrait, it looks like a snap-
DESCRIPTION 9
General structure and form
The photo is black and white and it has a
young girl in it. The background is pitch
black. The shades are pretty contrasted and
dark. The photo is vertical and 123 X 98 CM.
The girl looks directly at the camera and you
can see her upper half, so from the legs up.
She’s standing in the middle of the photo. The
picture is not a snapshot but posed.
The subject
The young girl in the picture is about 11-13
years old. She has a long, blonde hair that’s
sort of wavy and her hair is open on a side
part. She has a black sweater that almost
blends to the background. There’s a Finnish
scout neckerchief around her neck. She looks
serious. Her eyes are big and mouth closed and
she looks tired, maybe a bit curious and she
has no makeup on. She doesn’t look particular-
ly neat or untidy, she’s in the middle. She’s
shown in a neutral way.
The light
The left side of the picture is more in shade
than the right one, so the light source is on
the right side. This is why the black sweater
almost blends to the background. The shades or
lighting doesn’t really do anything special,
just that it comes from the right side.
The atmosphere
The atmosphere is neutral and more positive
than negative. As said before the girl seems
curious and serious her face is neutral, but
it really depends on the person how the atmos-
phere feels like.

DESCRIPTION 12
The general picture structure and
form
The picture is in black and white.
The picture is vertical. The person
is standing the person facing the
camera. You can see the person en-
tirely, He fills around 1/20th of the
photo. There are people walking in
the background, the picture takes
place in a train station and there is
a train on the left side of the per-
son. The photograph is more of a snap
-shot.
The subject
A male who is in his late 20’s he’s
looking at the camera and he’s wear-
ing a beanie, some gloves, shoes, a
jacket, a backpack and khaki pants.
He doesn’t seem to be showing any
emotions he just has a blank stare.
The man doesn’t seem well-presented
he’s not that neat.
The light
The light is coming for multiple
places, there’s light coming for the
roof where there is many light bulbs
and also far from behind him. The
light is natural and spread out.
Darkness is not an important part of
the picture.
The atmosphere
The atmosphere and mood of the photo
is very boring and you get sort of a
daily feeling for it, everybody just
going about there day. The emotion
he’s showing is just nothing, it’s
just like a resting face. The picture
doesn’t give really any emotion it
doesn’t make you feel sad, angry or
happy it’s very bland.

DESCRIPTION 18
The image is horizontal, not much wider than the height. It is taken on a winding staircase. The colours on the
walls are mostly pale green(ish). The walls and the stairs look worn out and the wooden stairs are pale blue.
There is also a window. You can see a piece of stairs and some trees. through it. The window frame is white but the
paint is worn out. The staircase is well lit and the house is quite old.
The light is coming from the window.
On the stairs is sitting a young woman. Her hair is tied in ponytail.She is probably a cleaner or some kind of do-
mestic help. She is wearing a blue gown and white apron, white socks and sandals (like nurses use). On her left side
on the stairs is a plate. There’s a toast with cheese, ham and boiled eggs on it. She is sitting on the stairs with
her back turned towards the viewer. She is reading a book, having her lunch break.

DESCRIPTION 15
General structure and form
Picture is black & white.
Background is darker than people in the
front.
Orientation: landscape, slightly wider than
high
Figures are positioned near the camera in
my opinion.
Two boys are looking at the camera. The
other boy is leaning in the other boy.
Background is forest (maple leaves and
spruce (spar in Dutch) branches, the ground
is full of hay.
Photograph is posed.
The subject
Two males, boys aged 12-13
Both are looking at the camera
The boy on left is wearing a grey shirt and
the other boy is wearing a chequered shirt.
The boy on the left is looking proud. The
boy on the right is looking bit sad. Both
are looking cool (not unkept).
Both boys are standing up next to each oth-
er. The boy on the left is holding the oth-
er boy´s head on his chest. The boy on the
right is leaning in the other boy.
So that the right hand of the boy on the
left is under the other boy´s chin and his
left hand is on the other boy’s left tem-
ple. The hands of the boy in the right are
on his thighs.
The light
The light is coming from the right. Light
is warm and it´s natural. In the picture´s
background on the right there is little
light but the left corner is dark.
The atmosphere
It seems awkward feeling in the picture.
The boys are bit strange. I don’t know why
he´s holding his head, what has happened
and why.
