Connecting Essay Four- Charles(rettew)Sheeler


Charles(rettew)Sheeler has taken this image from a low angle to emphasises the height of the building.  The building appears to become narrower as it get higher. The fact that the photograph is in sepia i feel this creates a sense of mystery within the photograph. Form is being shown in this photograph through the shadow at the bottom of the building. The building that is the centre of the photograph is the only building that is lit up which stresses the importance of this specific building. When the audience would look at this image i feel that they will be able to imagine themselves standing next to building and realising how tall this building is. 


This photograph has been taken from a low angle to emphasises the height of the trees. The trees take up the whole of the composition, the leafs spread across the photograph which shows the size of the tree itself. This is feel gives the photograph no central focus. Greens and Yellows are used throughout the image which gives the photograph a sense of nature and the tree being full of life. The trees are a symbol of the cycle of life, the fact that all the leafs are still green shows that they are still in the progress of the cycle of life and they have journey to carry on with however it will eventually come to an end. 



Overall both of these images connect due to the way the photograph has been taken which is at a low angle. In both of these photographs the low angle emphases the height of the subject at matter and puts the audience in a position where they can imagine being next to the subject and realise the how tall the subject really is. Also both of the photographs use specific colours to create a specific atmosphere and feel the photograph which would effect the audience when looking at it.
