Modernism - Edward Weston

Untitled Rock Formations
Edward Weston Original Photograph,Untitled Rock Formations


This image is pure and simple, using natural light to create shadows and effects to the image without editing it. It is so pure and focused that you can see all the small details on the rock and careful understand the shape and angels the whole image gives. This rock formation is beauty in a natural form, showing a soft side by looking at the smooth edges on the  over bright parts on the rock. This is contrast to the shadowed part  that looks almost sharp and hard, giving great detail to the lines and cracks which is contained within the rock. When looking at the composition of the photograph i find it very interesting, there are so many angels and different shapes formed with in all the different rocks, and the fact that this photograph is not taken on the same view line as the rocks it gives you a greater effect in detail to be able to see more by taking the photo higher up.
