Rania Matar- "Becca 19, Brookline MA 2009"

1. This is a picture of a teenage girl in her messy room looking in her mirror.
2. I think the photographers intention was to show light and shadows and focus on the girl surronded by the brightest light.
3. The photographer emphasizes the girl with using light and having the brightest light on the photo.
4. Technical matters like the light on the girl is very important because if there was no light there would be no shadows and it would not have a main focus.
5. The graphic element tone is very important because the different shadows and light in the photo makes the scene more realistic and alive.
6. Besides what is immediately evident, the photo reveals the hidden window in the corner and the fire place. The clothing on the floor are also hard to point and are not what you see when you first look at the photo.
7. The photograph makes you feel dark and lonely but the bright light shows that there is someone there and they have hope.
8. The photographs by this author all have to do with young adults in their rooms and they all have the same style in being young and messy.
