Great Black And White Photographers Part 3

Roy DeCarava's photos caught my eye because he used light in his photos in a creative way to make his photos more dramatic. I really liked his tones in his pieces.

Here's a refresher on the photos I had chosen:

I chose this photo because I liked the way it was obvious what the subject was. I see how the eyes of the child are looking right at me. I see her alone in the world just starting out. At peace. The photo makes a sort of silent peaceful noise. I hear nothing but the muffled white noise of people talking in the background. The child says nothing to me. I smell a bit of a building's stone walls and floors. The child has been cleaned as best as possible. I feel the floor beneath me. I feel calm and at peace. Hope runs through me. I taste the air of the area. It has been well taken care of. It's rich.

I chose this photo because I liked the use of the darker grays.

I chose this photo because i liked how Roy was able to catch the people in this position.

I chose this photo because I like how it captured emotion. I see the woman hiding. She seems scared. She is looking outward at something the camera did not capture. I hear a few cars in the background. I hear her unlocking her door. I hear the sound of footsteps. I feel the building beside me. I am scared for her. Its not making me happy. I taste city grime. The city is like all others. It is sticky. I smell the woman's perfume. The smell of a city street mixes with it to create a sense of being there. The smell of the street keeps it real.

Lastly, I chose this photo because I liked the contrast of the grays.
