This is a black and white image of a room in a house with a chair, a painting, and, unconventionally, a sandcastle-in-progress. Uelsmann uses black and white to perhaps imitate a nostalgic sense in this picture that is reminiscent of a family home, or maybe black and white was the only option to shoot in his time. Natural lighting seems to have been used seeing as there’s a giant window in the back. There are no human faces in this picture. The sandcastle is either still being built or was destroyed by a kick.

The photograph of a sand castle in a living room by Jerry Oelsmann is very well edited to look so lifelike. The photograph does not use any colors as it was limited to black and white in the time it was created/taken. The photo is very well lighted and looks like the sandcastle really is in the living room. The objects in the image of a living room are a incredible sandcastle a chair and the bottom part of a framed picture on a wall of two people. There is nothing happening in the image.

The image is of a room with sand in the middle of it. A sand castle is constructed out of the sand. On the back wall in the photograph, there is a panting. Underneath the painting sits a chair. The is a small skinny table in the corner. In the middle of the other wall in the room, there is a door leading outside. Light is coming through that door.

This is an image of a room that has a ground of sand rather than a regular floor. There is a chair sitting near a corner slightly behind the sandcastle in the middle of the room. The image has a very dark and dramatic tone. It is monochromatic and very lit. There are extremely dramatic shadows on the wall and the ground from the sandcastle and chair. The walls and the chair itself look very elegant and vintage.

This image is of a room with sand on the ground, there is a chair, the decor is elegant, the photo is in black and white, and there on top of the sand is a sandcastle. There are no colors because jerry uelsmann shot this image in black and white. It looks like it was a studio set because it's in a room and there is sand on the ground. And there are dark shadows especially when he used black and white. 12/7/2018 08:50:48 am
The image is of a room with a sandcastle in the middle. The sandcastle is very intricate and surrounded with a sea of sand while a chair sits just beyond it. The photo uses the sunlight on the sand castle in order to get a good amount of contrast, and the room is lit to a different side creating a bunch of crazy shadow which can go very well with the sandcastle. The lighting uses a bunch of dark shadows to make the whole picture pop out more at the viewer because it creates this very nice image in which a person can see much of the detail. There is also a painting above the chair which makes the room a little more mysterious, and the room is on the first floor because the night of the ground from the window.

In this photo, there is a sandcastle on the floor of a nice sitting room with a window on the right side of the frame and a chair just left of center frame in the middle ground. There is a portrait of a man in uniform on the wall directly above the chair. The photo is black and white. The lighting appears to be natural. The light creates harsh shadows on the sandcastle and on the walls of the room.

This photograph by artist Jerry Uelsmann is a composite, meaning it’s made up of many combined photographs. The image is black and white and has sunlight coming in from a big window. The sunlight is shining on the sandcastle, which is casting a long shadow. There is sand all on the ground with a large and intricate sandcastle in the middle. On the left side of the room, there is a decorative wooden chair with a floral pattern on the padding. Right above the chair, hanging on the wall, is a picture of a full body picture of a man, but it is cut off by the end of the photograph. The frame of the picture is very intricate and beautiful. Carvings of what look like vines and swirls frame the picture. Half of the man/frame is almost a black color because of the shadow from the sun, which causes us to not be able to see the chest and face of the man.

The image is black and white and was shot inside a room. It appears to be very surreal. Sunshine leaks from the window and creates a shadow for the chair. The wallpaper and the painting hanging on the wall make the room very vintage. The lower part of the image is the floor that is filled with sands, and in the middle of the sand three is a well-structured sand castle lying within it. The sand takes a large portion of the image and the chair is standing out from the image as well

This is an image of a sand castle in a house. The sandcastle is an extravagant one. The image was taken in black and white so the colors that are being used are more shadow like. The lighting is bright shadows peering into the window. The objects that are being used in this image are a sand castle, a picture frame, a chair and a tall and skinny table in the corner. What is happening in the image is that someone built a sand castle in the house and was made by compositing.

The image uses black and white throughout. There is natural light coming from the window. There is a very clear and precise shadow cast by the beautiful chair. There is a grand painting in the background half shrouded in darkness. There is a very detailed sand castle on the floor of the room. The sand castle has many dips, curves, and edges. There is a dark wooden chair on the left side of the room. There is also a window on the right side of the room. The frame of the large painting is detailed greatly and looks like it might have a gold shade to it. The sand castle is moonrock grey.

This image, created by Jerry Uelsmann, is an image that was photographed in black and white or edited with a black and white filter. The image was obviously photoshopped to look as though there is a sand castle inside of this room. In addition, the photographer used window light to portray a very good lighting scene. When you view the image, your eyes are instantly drawn to the sand in the image because it looks very out of place. You then question what the artist is trying to get across to their audience.
