Analyze - Picture 2



By the displayed of “proportion” and “Contrast” aesthetic principles, the viewer’s attention may easily fascinated by the visual stimulation. Photographer used the method of "contrast" to attract the attendance of the spectator. Adding “movement” to the balance creates further visual refreshment. Attraction was formed by the representations of manner/activity (fishing action) of the female model, then to raise the interesting imagination of fishing, so the meaning of “fishing” beyond the original comprehension. About the arrangement of the model icon, placing the subject “off-centre” can add dynamism to an image and reduce the static factor. And the visible of the “little” man became the balance point of this picture, helped to make the symmetric effect. Different visual guidelines were revealed in this photo, such as the seashore, the fishing equipment etc. But instead of the “lines” mentioned previously, there still have a “dot line” visual guideline, the starting point (little man), the turning point (the fish) and the end point (the woman) should be connected, their relationship and positions also formed a “triangular” frame. The most interesting point, there have further connotation seemed hidden, the placement of the fish had a symbolic meaning, it was possibly represented some erotic significant (desire); especially when it is presented by a woman. So the “Metaphoric” became the most exciting “secret” and “interest” of this photo. And the “space” and “distance” of the two people also became an eye-catching point. Finally, the framing method of this photo is “Lines composition” (線條構圖).
