Brainstorm ..... Juxtaposition

This first image is by Marcus Bain. He demonstrates juxtaposition by using two opposites. He uses black oil based ink and water in a cheap fish bowl on a white piece of card. I believe this is a comparison and contrast of the texture, color and function of the two liquids in one single image.

 This image is by Landon Michaelson, first and foremost this image and composition altogether is amazing. This is a juxtaposition image of a father and daughter. Which gives the difference in sex as well as a difference in age. this also shows the difference of texture in their skin.

Beauty in an image. This is an excellent example of juxtaposition because of the composition . This is an example of order and disorder. Everything about this woman is perfect and then you notice the background and you see the imperfection. Which i believe could be used as a completely different interpretation of this image. oh and this is by Jenny Sun...

Created not even realizing the juxtaposition. This amazing image is to me man-made versus natural. I say that because human beings are a natural part of the planet and cars are not. It is also and example of many versus one and comparison of numbers. Photo by: Filip Bodgan.

 This is an example of juxtaposition using a wide angle lens can create.It is another example of man-made versus natural as well as curves straight lines. I think the lines and curves create a very interesting focal point. The rectangular buildings at the bottom of the composition keeps you grounded while every other building makes your eyes focus on the center of the sky. photo by:Carsten Ranke

This amazing image is to me man-made versus natural. The simplicity of the image creates a feeling of being in that place at that time and this would not technically be consider man- made but it is a built thing so I'm calling it man-made. Shot by: Jan Lakey

This is by the great Abelardo Morell . The use of an exterior inside of an interior is a juxtaposition in itself. The busy atmosphere of New York inside of an environment where you are supposed to have a calm peaceful place to be.

Placement is the juxtaposition. A chair is somewhere people sit not where people put there shoes. The focus of this image is the backs of the shoes mimic the curves of shoulders. this image is by:  Joe Elario

 This is an example of selection in focus. The babies feet are in focus in one image. The babies faces are in focus in the other. The way the tones are mimicked in each area where the focal point is makes the image more interesting. I believe Johanna McShan made excellent choices for this image.

Audrey And Lili created a very inspiring image. The way the use two images and split the image's focus from her face to the other image through the placement of glance is awesome.

My Interpretation

My Interpretation of Juxtapostion will be shown with comparisons of size, emotion, and texture. I may interpret these things using people. Some comparisons I thought would apply to my subject matter and chosen terms are : Old/New I would photograph a child's face and then proceed to photograph and adults face; Happy / Sad - with a happy event like a family dinner, with a sad event like a solo person in a grave yard; focused/ not focused - use focus on two different areas of the same person; large/ small take a photograph of a tall or overweight person in comparison to a short or very thin person. Man/ Women self explanitory but can be interpreted as a woman's body to a mans body or a woman face/man face. Natural/Manmade- someone with tons of make up and someone with out; Wet/Dry- Photograph someones skin that has water droplets all over it and then someones skin that is dry and cracked. Curves/ Strengthen photograph someone that has a very curvy body type versus someone with a very straight body. Up/Down - Someone looking up, someone looking down, one someone jumping up someone looking down, or some one jumping up, someone crouched down; Oil/ Water Someone using oil paint. someone using gouche; Pain/ Pleasure - someone in a hospital bed, some one at a party; Tight/ Loose - Someone in really tight Jeans and then someone with clothes that are oversize.
