Original photograph by Nelli Palomäki DESCRIPTION 1 The general picture structure and form The picture is black and white and the colors are pretty contrasted and dark. On the background there are some hardwood trees, leafy bushes and a grey sky. In the middle of the photo there are two young girls, children, standing on the grassy ground which also has a lot of leaves. The picture is vertical and pretty narrow. The girls are looking directly at the camera and are very close to each other, almost holding hands. You can see the girls completely, and it s not a snapshot but a clearly pose picture. There are two young girls, about the same age of 11-13, standing and looking directly at the camera. They look very polished and formal. The girl standing on the left is shorter than the other girl, and she has blonde, long braided hair tied on down with greyish ribbons, a black, a jacket that stops on the knees and has 2 buttons which are all closed, white tights and black ballerinas. She s standing with her legs together. The taller girl, who s standing on the right side, has the same clothes but in different colors. Her jacket is a little over the knee, grey and has four buttons (closed) and her tights are black, so are her shoes. Her hair is also braided but brown. Her legs aren t together but more open. They have similar facial expressions and look pretty serious and grim, kind of like they d be looking at the sun and squinting their eyes, but they don t look angry or anything. They are shown in a neutral, more positive way. ing isn t really anything special, just a natural light you d see outside on a normal, cloudy day. It comes from everywhere but mostly from the front and above. I d say that the shades aren t a big part of the photo. is pretty neutral to me. Maybe it s a bit serious and kind of anxious because of the girl s looks, but I feel calm. The girls are shown in a more positive than negative way as said before but are pretty neutral.

In the centre of the image there is a little girl walking on the beach near the sea. The sky is beautiful and the sand is grayish brown. The sun is setting and to the right side of the picture and the shadow of the girl reaches the left side. There is no artificialal light. The girl is wearing a red christmas wrapper on her like a coat and a silver christmas decoration ribbon wrapped around her. The wind makes the christmas wrapper sway on the left side She has also striped christmassy pantyhose and grey socks but no shoes. She is dragging a small christmas tree or one branch of it behind her. She is looking slightly to the left (sea). She has been walking a long time, the footprints and dragging marks are visible on the beach. The image makes me think of Christmas.
Original photograph by Nelli Palomäki DESCRIPTION 3 The general picture structure and form The picture is black and white and it mostly consists of different shades of grey. The background is all pitch-black making it clear and dark. The picture is almost twice as high as it is wide and in the middle is a young man standing sideways to the camera. He fills the majority of the picture. Only his right side is showing. The bottom of this picture cuts his legs so we only see his upper body. The young man is wearing a t-shirt with rolled up sleeves. He also has jeans on with a simple belt. The whole clothing is on the darker side. The man s posture is slightly slouched. His hand is bending a little forward at his side and his head and eyes are turned a little bit to the right. His gaze is piercing. comes from the bottom left corner of the picture making only the man s left side lighted. The shadows create a dark and mysterious finish. In my opinion the man is somewhat kind looking but at the moment he is annoyed by something. There is some kind of tension in the picture and although it is a portrait, it looks like a snap-
DESCRIPTION 9 General structure and form The photo is black and white and it has a young girl in it. The background is pitch black. The shades are pretty contrasted and dark. The photo is vertical and 123 X 98 CM. The girl looks directly at the camera and you can see her upper half, so from the legs up. She s standing in the middle of the photo. The picture is not a snapshot but posed. The young girl in the picture is about 11-13 years old. She has a long, blonde hair that s sort of wavy and her hair is open on a side part. She has a black sweater that almost blends to the background. There s a Finnish scout neckerchief around her neck. She looks serious. Her eyes are big and mouth closed and she looks tired, maybe a bit curious and she has no makeup on. She doesn t look particularly neat or untidy, she s in the middle. She s shown in a neutral way. The left side of the picture is more in shade than the right one, so the light source is on the right side. This is why the black sweater almost blends to the background. The shades or lighting doesn t really do anything special, just that it comes from the right side. is neutral and more positive than negative. As said before the girl seems curious and serious her face is neutral, but it really depends on the person how the atmosphere feels like.
Original photograph by: Jari Silomäki DESCRIPTION 12 The general picture structure and form The picture is in black and white. The picture is vertical. The person is standing the person facing the camera. You can see the person entirely, He fills around 1/20th of the photo. There are people walking in the background, the picture takes place in a train station and there is a train on the left side of the person. The photograph is more of a snap -shot. A male who is in his late 20 s he s looking at the camera and he s wearing a beanie, some gloves, shoes, a jacket, a backpack and khaki pants. He doesn t seem to be showing any emotions he just has a blank stare. The man doesn t seem well-presented he s not that neat. is coming for multiple places, there s light coming for the roof where there is many light bulbs and also far from behind him. The light is natural and spread out. Darkness is not an important part of the picture. and mood of the photo is very boring and you get sort of a daily feeling for it, everybody just going about there day. The emotion he s showing is just nothing, it s just like a resting face. The picture doesn t give really any emotion it doesn t make you feel sad, angry or happy it s very bland.

She is reading a book, having her lunch break.
