Assignment 3: Post 3: Lighting.

FACTUAL: This is a photograph of Philip Johnson at his glass house taken in the year 2000 by Annie Leibovitz.
CONTEXT: This photograph is part of a project called 'The Beauty Book'.
TECHNICAL: The lighting has been used in a  very creative way, making Philip Johnson and the objects being shown in the photograph look more like shadows or sillhouettes against the light of outside. Also, the black border of the door frames Philip Johnson nicely, showing that he is the focal point of the photograph. The simplicity of the black lines accompany the lighting well.
AESTHETIC: I think the photograph has a lonely feel to it, as it seems as though Philip Johnson is surrounded by a beautiful house and a beautiful landscape however, with him standing next to the window with the use of dull colours, he doesn't look to be as happy as he probably should be.
