We
had had to do a work in couples about a photographer and we chose to
do it about Brassai. So, here is the presentation Elsa and I made
last week:
So now, we are going to comment the first photo and
express how we feel about it and the different points:
As we can see, there appear two people sitting on a bench, a woman
and a man. In the right side we can see an old woman who is holding a basket,
in the other side, there is a man, it seems that he is drunk or tired.
This image shows that the man represents the young age, like he lives his life
at the fullest. And the woman shows the old aged people who have lived all and
now are tired of living, we can see that in her face-expression. The photo is
technically taken in a way that the viewer is capable to see the both sides of
the bench. Also Brassais style is to take photos in black and white and it
gives a more mysterious and intense look.
