Some of the colors that are being used include: blue, green, black, brown, and white. The color blue is being used for the lighting above and beneath the stairs that Harvey is sitting on. Green is also being sued above and beneath the stairs. The dress that Harvey is wearing is white, and that is how the color white is being used. Black is being used for the trim of the doors and brown is the color that was painted on the walls and doors.

This is an image if Harvey sitting on a staircase in some building. She has her wedding dress on, but she does look sad despite the fact just getting married. I can see an exit sign above the staircase, so i know it is some public buildings. I also see several doors so i can infer that its a hotel, and I see a brightly lighted window behind the staircase. Due to the fact that she is in a hotel in her wedding dress, i can infer that her financial levels are low, and another reason for her sadness. It is using the color blue to emphasize her sadness and the exit sign is green to contrast the blue.

The photo depicts a lady wearing a light pink dress sitting on a stair-case in what looks like a hotel. If you look closely, you can see a smoke detector, a spot for a light that is not on, and a pane of glass that looks like where an ax used for fires might be placed. There is a hand-railing to help get up the stairs, and there are also several doors on each side of the hall.The colors used are mainly dark, with lighting being mainly a dark blue. I believe it is using dark colors to make the lady in the dress seem sad. The lighting is studio set-up, and it looks like the photographer had an over-all dark exposure being that the light you can see from the window looks blinding.

This picture was created by Cig Harvey. It looks like it was created on a cruise, hotel, or department. There is a woman on a light pink dress sitting on the stairs without shoes, there are four doors on that hallway, the women is looking down at her dress. The colors that are being used are blue, green, white, black, light pink, light purple, and cream. Harvey chose these colors to make a dramatic, more calm, and interesting effect on women. The lighting that is used is dark shadows without studio set-up. There is a woman holding something in her left hand and looking down while sitting on the stairs.

The image shows a woman in a dress sitting in the middle of a stairway. There is an exit sign with stairs leading to a lower level in the building and a window that lets in a lot of sunlight. Multiple doors are on either side of the hallway leading me to believe that this was taken in a hotel. Most of the colors in the photo are cool or neutral like blue and beige. There are more shadows that face to us because the main source of light is coming from a window facing us. The woman and the exit sign are objects that stand out because they seem to try to say something. The woman seems a little depressed and sat down at the stairs for a break.
