use of contrast

background contrast - night time flash

- the flash created contrast making the subject stand out from the dark background.

- subject is wearing black, without the flash he would blend into the background.

- can see strong contrast between the board and background as well as his skin and the background.

- would've worked better if he was wearing something brighter.




highlights/shadows contrast - flash


- outline of the subject on the wall.

- slightly distracting

- makes the leg appear bigger but would be different if he was wearing a lighter coloured trouser

- shadow is completely black

makes subject stand out





highlights/shadows contrast - daylight



- can clearly see each little twig coming off the brambles that are in front of the sky.

- highlight on side of train fades to black, not a lot of contrast

- exposed for the sky/ highlights

- contrast between the graffiti and the train where its being lit

- contrast in the out of focus area between the train and sky but not between the train and the ground






colour contrast - still life




- flash makes the colours pop

- gives contrast and makes everything appear more crisp

- outlines around the items in the photo where the flash created harsh shadows

- green and white have more contrast between them than the white and purple









colour contrast




- used flash to improve the colour contrast

- lots of contrast between all the colours. including the greens in the background.

- colours are punchy and rich.

- colours next to the other colours appear more vibrant and saturated.
