This is an image of an older man staring into the camera, and at us. I can see out of the window an open field so this image was taken most likely west in the US. But i also know it isn't in the middle of nowhere because i can see an electricity pole. The lighting is natural, the evening sun light peers onto the old man's face, thus complementing his facial features in a flattering way. The colors in this image are a light blue shirt and dark blue jeans, which are very common in the south west area, and in the background I can see a orange-yellow field also representing the south west.

This is an image of an old man, sitting in an old car, looking at the camera. This man looks sad because he isn’t smiling. Some colors in this image are red, blue, gray, and beige. The red is the color of the truck and the blue is the color of the sky and the man’s shirt. The gray is the color of the car seats, and the beige is the color of the fields in the background.

The photo shows an older man sitting inside his truck, but I can’t make out the background. The colors looked faded like its been worn away over time. Bryan Schutmaat uses natural lighting that comes in from the windows of the truck. The main object in the photo is the man because he is in the middle and more in focus. He looks to be doing what he would normally do everyday in the photo.

This image was taken by Bryan Schutmaat it’s from his series called Grays The Mountain Sends, a series of portraits, still life, and landscapes Schutmaat made of mining towns in the contemporary American West and the people who inhabit them. It looks like it was taken in the countryside of a city since the background looks calm. There is a man sitting inside a pickup truck and is staring at the camera. The colors that are shown in this image are red, brown, black, grey, white, green, blond, light skin, cream, and light blue. Schutmaat used these colors to make it a natural, calm, peaceful image to look at. The light that is being used is the sun during the day without a studio set-up.

This photo shows an older looking man sitting in a car in the driver's seat. The man has grey hair, and his face is the main focal point. The man has his right hand on the steering wheel, and his left hand is out of view of the camera. The car keys are in the ignition, but the keys are not turned. The lighting is sunlight, because the light that is illuminating the man's face is coming from the window.

This image, by Bryan Shutmaat, shows a man sitting in his car. The lighting has a little dark shadows on the bottom of the frame, while on the outside of the car, it looks like natural sunshine bright lighting. We don’t know who the artist is taking a photo of but I can infer that it maybe a local man in his town. For the upper part of the photo, it has a little bit of light colors while the bottom has a lot of shadow and black, with the shirt and jeans with different shades of blue. The image, according to my opinion, looks like the man probably had a bad day, because there is no smile, and was just tired. Comments are closed.
