VisArt Bethany

This series is inspired by the work of Ray Metzker. I have adopted the following characteristics of his photographs: - Black and White - Heavy shadows - Bright highlights - Shadow lines cutting the frame - Cityscapes - People as subjects of the photo

For my fourth draft, I experimented with light and subject-- how i can use light to call attention to the subject in different ways. I also experiemented with taking photos indoors. This series isn't as true to Metzker's work as the others are, but I wanted to adapt his techniques/visual recipe into my own work.

For my third draft of my Metzker series, I experimented with taking photos of people on the street. I tried to keep them anonymous, in the light or light in contrast to the deep shadows behind them. I kept my usual visual recipe, deep shadows, black and white, repeated setting (to imitate multiframe) and candid, but designed.
