This first image, a photograph my Laurence Winram, brings so much into play. This image is wonderfully composed, carrying the viewer's eye from left to right as he plays with the rule of thirds. The colors in this image are equally beautiful -- filling the canvas with muted, cool earth tones. I feel that the lighting truly beings this piece together. The natural sunlight, diffused by the overcast sky, paints the subjects and landscape with very soft light.
When I first saw the above image by Laurent Nivalle, I was blown away by the colors. The way the artist rendered the blue and green tones is absolutely gorgeous. The high contrast and relatively hard light make this piece more intense and mysterious.
The two above photos are by an artist named Alex Andreyev. The first image employs a cool color palette and very hard lighting, shining straight down on the subject. However, he the way he paints his shadows reflects a softer light source, which creates a beautiful contrast in the image. The second piece uses the same method. The hard hallway lights cast soft shadows onto the floor.
This final piece is a music video for an artist called Woodkid. The visuals in this video are absolutely stunning, and carry a lot of metaphorical value. The director uses very high contrast black and white imagery to draw the viewer's focus to value and texture rather than color. I am in love with this video.
