Today you will be writing about this image by artist Holly Andres. The photograph is from her body of work titled Stories From A Short Street. Here is the artist's project statement:
STORIES FROM A SHORT STREET is a collection of eight photographs inspired by my unique experience growing up in rural Montana as the youngest of ten children. By casting a fictitious group of siblings loosely based on archetypes of my own family, each image is constructed to enact a specific moment, communicate identity through space, and depict a psychological portrait.

And there is a old phone in the background. He is clearly watching something because you can see theres a reflection of some type.

The image is of a boy sitting on the arm of a couch watching T.V. The boy seems to have one leg and it appears that he is staying up late since he is in his pajamas and it is very dark. The image uses a lot of beige and blue. The lighting is dimly lit with a light turned on in the background. The objects in this image are the boy, the television, the phone, the armchair, and the head of a deer on the wall. The child is watching TV although there is nobody else around. Maybe his family is out doing something or maybe he is just up late.

Behind him was see his shadow on the wall. Hs eyes are completely fixed on the TV. We also see the light coming from the TV on him.

This image is of a young boy, his age might be around 7 or 8. He is concentrated in watching what looks like a T.V. The viewers can assume that it is late at night or early in the morning, since the boy is wearing his pajamas. The lighting is a bit dark and yellow, but there is a bright white light illuminating the main object in this photograph, which would be the boy. There are several different objects in this image apart from the kid, there is a head of a deer, an old looking telephone, a landscape painting, and some miniature statues on top of the T.V. In this image there also happens to be a lot of shadows, the one that stands out the most though is the one of the boy.

This image captures a young boy watching TV. The image on the TV seems to be grabbing him as he stares deeply into the screen. The image is using neither bright sunlight or studio lighting but has more dark shadows and artificial lighting. The image looks warm and yellowish which is one of the main colors. Other colors being used include chestnut brown for the wood floor, other browns, green and a warm yellow. The image includes a boy and his

This is a photo by Holly Andres. It is from her collection called Stories From A Short Street. This is an image of a young boy, maybe Holly’s brother, sitting on a chair probably in a family room. He appears to be in pajamas while he is probably watching TV. There is a deer mounted on the wall and a painting of a nature scene behind the boy. It looks like there are two religious figures on the TV stand. This image was probably created in a studio. The lighting is very warm. This makes it seem more nostalgic and cozy.

The image is of a boy watching television and the television light is producing a shadow of the boy. The image uses warm colors on the left side, and cooler colors on the right side. The lighting is a studio set up. The objects in the photo is a buck head, a chair, a painting, a phone on a table, a boy, 2 statues, and a television. It seems that the boy is sitting down to watch some Tv.

The image above has many aspects that go along with it and you can tell many things about it. The photographer is explaining a story in this picture, the viewer can tell because there is a boy, but it’s not a normal boy that you would normally see in a photograph, he’s different, he only has one leg. In my eyes this makes the photograph unique. Another thing that I admire in this picture is that Holly Andres is trying to send out a message. You can tell this because the young boy that only has one leg is watching the television and is wearing what seems to be pyjamas that are rooting for the olympics. I think that here the photographer was trying to say that not everyone is capable of doing everything and that sometimes we don’t appreciate what we can do. 10/6/2017 10:18:48 pm

This image is of boy sitting on the edge of a couch that is watching tv. There is a lot of color in this images. Mainly yellows and greens. The lighting is not natural lighting. You can see that this picture was taken indoors and that the main light sources are the tv and the door in the back where there seems to be gold light coming from it. There are lots of shadows. You can see the shadow of the boy on the couch and on the painting in the background. The bottom right corner of the picture is very dark. You can also see a moose that is staring at the photographer. Comments are closed.
