Shapes and shadows

Shapes and Shadows

This is a famous photograph taken by Mac Dupain in the year of 1946. The strongest part about this photo is the contrast and the use of light. You can see in this photo that the use of the black and white filter is perfect because it really brings out the beauty of grey. It also shows great shadows which blend in really well with the grey. It has a lot of things going on in the scene from the tree all the way to the girl, bike and the old couple. The top view really gives it a nice perspective and the shadows all go the same way which makes it a great photo. The contrast of this photo is very mixed. In the lighter spots it is very bright and in the shadows it is very dark. The photo shows a nice pattern with the shadows.
