Why do you think
that the balloon is in
the shape of a
heart?
Why do you think
the child is a girl
instead of a boy?
In the photo the
words to the side,
mean what to this
particular piece of
art?
Why is the balloon
the only color part of
the picture?
Artist Background
•
The author of this
photograph has a
background unlike what you
would imagine. He is very
original just like his art.
What makes him stand out
his ability of specializing in
graffiti. He takes a in depth
look at the creators and the
filthy rich industry that has
sprung up around it. Then
by what he observes is
what his photos reflect.
Photograph background
• The photo doesn’t
have much of a
background. Its
located in Southbank
London, U.K, and it
was created in
December of 2004.
Subject Matter
• The main subject of the photo is the young girl
reaching up for the balloon. The words to the
side also grasp your attention because it shows
some juxtaposition with the dark and light colors
against each other.
Pathos
• This photo appeals to
the emotional part of you,
in the sense that this is
what most girls hope for
and long for in their in
their future. Some feel
like we can t live without
love or the feeling of
being wanted. This also
shows that we will chase
anything we can if it
involves something that
we hope and dream for.
Audience
According to the rhetorical
triangle the logo of the photo
would also be the title “ There
is always hope”. The pathos of
this would be it appeals to
women that pass by on the
sidewalk. Lastly the ethos of
this is to show what girls are
longing for in life, even at such
a early age as this young girl.
Hue and Saturation
•
The main focus of
saturation in the photo is
the balloon heart. It is
created with a warm color
(red) which is also a
primary color. and is very
darkly shaded. With the
heart being the only color
it really stands out to me,
and is tied more to my
emotions than the other
parts of the photo that are
gray.
Questions?
1. What If the camera
was moved to the
right of the photo,
what important ideas
would be lost?
2. What if the camera
was moved to the left
of the photo?
Composition: Framing
•
I believe the photographer took this photo directly facing
the artwork. If he/she would have taken it from another
angle I don’t think it would have the same meaning
because you couldn’t fully see it in full perspective. If the
camera was moved to the right it would cut out the most
important part( the balloon), and the picture wouldn’t
make sense. No one would no what the words were
pertaining to. If the camera was moved to the left then
the words would be cut out which would loose the way of
assuring this girl that everything would be okay.
Font
• The writing
seems very
far out to the
right. It is a
very simple
font, but why
are all of the
letters capital
letters
instead of
lowercase?
