Conceptual landscape

    The photograph below would be considered conceptual traditional for several reasons. Among these reasons, is the use of Photoshop in a creative and somewhat unconventional way, that is, making the 'landscape' appear to be on a man's head. Also note the distortion of scale-or rather, just how big that head is. On closer inspection, one also notices that the church, tree, castle etc, are in fact not real, but fake, and are tiny plastic models. This perhaps makes only the very background of the photo- which is blurry but appears top be real land- traditional. That in itself is another aspect on this photo's conceptualism- the mesh of a head, toys, and actual landscape.

Unusual Objects in a Still LIfe

The still life above, by Martin Vallen, is an interesting example of a still life, because the objects within the composition are so unusual. Though the focal point is dangerously close to the center, the objects themselves are so unusual- yellow and black Nike sneakers, necklaces, headphones- that it keeps the photo intriguing enough to work. Another aspect to note is how the objects are suspended in the air, and how they interplay with each other, further adding to the originality of the photo and objects.

Portrait conveying emotion

  Compositionally, the photo attached is very lack luster, yet nevertheless, this photograph of the famous American Aborigine Sitting Bull conveys emotion and feeling very well, I believe. The black and white color scheme forces one to focus less on certain aspects of the photo, thus emphasizing and strengthening others whether intentionally or unintentionally. For instance, the color-or lack their of- forces your eye to study the varying contours-shades- of his face and eyes making his solemn expression all the more meaningful. A moonshine color scheme gives the photographer a blunter array of tools to control, perhaps working in their favor because the less told you use, the more chance you have of converting a feeling.
    But that in itself is "icing on the cake", his expression itself is really what makes this portrait so intense. Which goes to show you that a photographer's creation has to come from some reality before that natural, raw thing is strengthened.
