A.) Blog entry # 1, by: Tyler Smolak
B.) Mark Strout Photography
C/D.) The Image is unfortunately untitled but if I had to name it I would call it “woman of sorrow”

Analysis
A.) The primary subject matter is the woman as she is the only figure within the shot
B.) The woman is the most relevant form in regard to the photograph
I.) There is a very shallow depth of field to the photograph which could be achieved through the macro mode as you can see the photograph with crystal clear clarity
II.) The point of view from the image eye level
III.) There is a sense of high contrast within the image ad the background and the woman’s clothes are black as her bare skin seems to be glowing.
IV.) The darkness of the piece helps to create a sense of light and value. The dark background aids in the creation of an ominous past.
V.) The color of the piece might as well be black and white as those are the only colors within the piece.
Interperpretation
The primary subject matter of this photograph is the woman. She is slightly off center looking up to the sky with tears in her eyes almost as if she is searching for guidance. She seems to me that she comes from an unfortunate past and is reaching out for redemption. Her hands on her chest symbolize regret and pain almost as though she is seeking forgiveness for the hurt of another that she has caused. Her hair is blowing in the wind which could mean she is having a religious experience and receiving the guidance and strength to change the woman she has become.
We can tell by the eye level point of view and shallow depth of field help to tell the story of the woman and her search for something that is not there within her life. The light from above is shining down on her creating high contrast from the background and the subject matter.
