Some colors that I would observe in the photograph include: Black, white, grey, and a little bit of brown. Black is really being used for most of the image and so is white and grey. You can see a little bit of brown covering the stand on the right hand side of the photo. Black is mostly being used in the sky and on the floor, part of the shadows. Whtie is being used for the floor and a lot of the sky. Grey is a mixture of them both surrounding the entire photo.

This is an image of a person walking on what seems to be a map. The room doesn't have a ceiling at all, exposing the open night sky. I also see that this room is an older model due to its build pattern and place of fireplace. The map that the man is walking on is on a stool that looks for studying. The dominant color is being used to either represent sadness, creepiness, or telling us this image is trying to represent that of an older time.

This image is of an old style room, with the roof missing, allowing the sky to be seen. There is a fireplace filled with wood, a door, a plate on the mantle of the fireplace, a drawer, and a drafting table. On the drafting table, there is a man walking up, as if he is climbing up a mountain. The lighting is a mix, because the room is fairly dark, but the sky which can be seen through the roof, is lit up. It is studio light, and natural light. In the image, there is not much happening except for the man walking up the book.

The image shows an open room with a desk in the center and a small man on a map. The room is decorated to look old timey and fashionable and is in black and white. There is one beam of sunlight that shines a light on the man and creates dark shadows throughout the room. There are multiple objects around the room for décor, but the most significant are the man and the desk. The man seems to be on a sort of adventure because there is a map and the sky opens up like its leading him.

The first thing that catches my eye in this photo is the use of colors, there are very dark colors including black, light and dark grey and even white. The next thing I see is a desk with a person walking on top of it, kinda odd. The next interesting thing is see is the ceiling of the picture, well it's not a ceiling it's a day sky. The setting of the room is like a study room or an office type area.

The image was made by the artist Jerry Uelsmann. The image looks like an office with a writer’s desk and a little man on the desk. The image uses a black and white theme because it shows more of the mood. The lighting looks like it may be studio-setup because they are using the negative. The objects included are a desk, shelves, roofless sky, the man on the desk, and some book shelves.

This image was taken by Jerry Uelsmann. It looks like it was taken inside an office with a sky as the ceiling. A little man is walking in the podium on top of a book, there is wood on and beside the fireplace, a plate hanging, two vintage chairs, bookshelves, a candle, two vases with flowers, a mirror, a desk, a drawer, sun half behind clouds, and clouds floating around. This image is black and white so those are the only colors that are being shown. Uelsmann made the photo black and white to help the viewer to focus on a subject’s emotional state. With that said, inside the office, it uses the ceiling light while the sky uses the sun.
