Paul Outerbridge

In an article I read on Paul Outerbridge, it says that he was taught to experiment with different aspects of photography such as: lighting, vantage points, and framing. These different photo qualities interest me because it helps influence the viewers perception of a photograph. By using different vantage points, one can emphasize a specific point or object in a photography which is something I plan on doing in my concentration. Lighting is also important because it also helps influence the viewer. Shadows are important in photographs because they give the picture depth and it can also add a sense of mystery to it.
In his color photographs, he used colors that are often seen near each other on a color wheel which I thought was interesting. In a photograph he has of a woman in a shower behind a blurry shower curtain, it is comprised of mainly cool colors like blue green and a hint of yellow on some parts. In another he has of a woman smoking a cigarette, it is mainly warm colors, including the woman's outfit. Colors like: red, yellow, and green to help the other colors stand out.
