Color - Week 1.

Marcus Claesson

I have always been a fan of his work, ever since I came across his photo-stream on Flickr. His work reminds me of Michael Kenna's work, mainly because of the weather situations they both use, and the vast space in their photographs, and with the added knowledge for specific detail. This is one of my favorite photographs that Marcus has ever taken. The foreground leads the viewers eyes into the photograph and the center point, which is the light being swallowed by the fog. The photograph doesn't have any saturated colors, and the mood of the image as a whole is definitely a calm one. The photograph also seems very quiet with the fog present.

This photograph instantly caught my eye. I love the way the soft blues and browns flow together nicely with the subject matters skin tone. The murky bath water also adds a nice touch to the photograph. While looking a this photograph it almost makes me feel as if I am intruding on a private and personal thought, especially since the subjects eyes are closed and the camera is from a higher position and angle. The positioning of the hands also give this feeling of a 'private moment', as if the subject is in deep thought or calm and at ease.

The flow of this whole photograph is absolutely incredible. The blue that engulfs the majority of this photograph is touched by the light coming from inside of the house, and from the road. The yellow light that glows goes well with the blue from the snow and the sky, and helps the viewers eye to see a certain part of the photograph, which is the light coming from the windows of the house, and this light seems to circle the house because of the lights from the road and the houses in the difference. The composition was well thought out, as well as the exposure.
