Each week, we will write a critical analysis on a work of photographic art. An image will be published weekly on our class blog. Spend time studying the image and then write a detailed analysis of the photograph. Publish your analysis as a comment to the blog post; this comment should show the student’s name, time posted, and word count. The analysis must be posted to the original blog post in order to be graded. Students will write eleven critical analyses per semester, and the lowest grade per semester will be dropped. ©Stephen Shore

The picture shows a boy or a girl laying down on a bed in a hotel or an apartment. This person seems to be on a trip or coming back from one, and now he or she is watching a mysterious blue image on the television. the outside environment seems to be very bright. The color of the room seems to be a mixture of bland and bright, and the way the light from the outside enters the room gives it a bright and attractive appeal.

This image is of somebody taking a nap in their hotel room. Plain colors are expressed in this image to draw attention to the objects.

I see that the photographer is capturing that someone is traveling and that they're in a hotel. The blue color from the tv screen really pops out in the natural lighting and plain colors of the room. The traveler is obviously lounging or relaxing after their travels and their shoes look distressed and dirty. The photo is under exposed and the depth of field his shallow.

This photograph is showing a traveler who has recently arrived at their destination as their shoes are still on. They are relaxing after presumably unpacking their bag because it is unzipped. The television is on and the room was probably inexpensive based on the simple furnishings, twin size bed, and older TV.

The image is of a person lying on a bed, watching television. It looks like this setting is in a hotel room. This photo was definitely meant to represent an old time period because of the old television and suitcase. The photo is using browns I think to represent the coordinating colors that are in most hotel rooms. The lighting includes shadows in the room. The objects included in the photo are a person, bed, television, suitcase, and a window. The photo is at a perfect exposure in my opinion.

The image shows somebody laying on a mattress on a simple, undecorated room watching an old-fashioned television that seems to be off. The window is letting natural light into the "boring-looking" room. There are many different shades of dull brown and dark orange throughout the room and the wall is painted in a rather bland greenish-beige. These colors are added to present the idea of a simple, non-luxurious, relaxing place. Only the legs and shoes of the person appear and there is a desk with a suitcase and a lamp below the television.

This image shows us a person who is relaxing and simply watching TV. We know that he is in a traveling due to the image of his suitcase and is in a hotel. This photo has natural lighting, includes very mild colors has a lot of shadows but is not underexposed and is in focus.

This image shows a person laying on a bed in either an apartment or a hotel room. Some important objects we see in the photograph are the suitcase, which shows that the person is traveling, the desk, and the television, which shows that he is resting. Most of the colors here are brown, but are surprisingly bright because of the natural light. The image is perfectly exposed and has a very deep depth of field.

This photo taken by Stephen Shore shows a person laying on a bed in a Motel room. The photo shows the person watching on an outdated television. Under the television, there is a desk with a suitcase laying closed and a lamp placed next to it. The room has a neutral tone in it, no dark colors. The lighting in the room is from the natural lighting in the open window in the left of the room. The bedding is of sunflowers which is the brightest thing in the room.

This photo depicts what seems to be a traveler lying down in their hotel room bed after a day of travel. The hotel room is very basic, with one simple dresser, a small bed, and a small television. The colors in the picture include neutrals, which are pretty common for hotel rooms. Because of the assumed time of day (late afternoon or early evening), shadows are being cast across the room. Although there are dark shadows in the photo, bright sunlight coming from the window is also present.

This image is of a person from his or hers perspective of a room. The details within the picture is a person laying on a bed, looking like he or she is resting in an old, sketchy room. The colors in this room are tan, orange, and white with a few dark shadows behind the tv set and desk. The colors in the room make the image feel that the photograph was taken during the 90s.

The photo depicts an unknown person's feet presumingly lying on a bed. In front of this is a simple looking desk and chair with a suitcase, a lamp, and a television hanging over the top. I notice that the room looks old school from the outdated television set and the old school looking leather suitcase. The drapes and the bedsheets are a specific yellow color that also remind of the '60s fashion. Also, we can see that the picture is in natural lighting from the big window on the left side. The photograph is generally in focus with a deep depth of field. The photo has a sort of yellowish/ earthy tone color scheme.

This image depicts a person's feet, as he or she crosses their legs laying on a bed, clearly relaxed in a bedroom. The bedroom looks practically empty, leading me to believe that the person might be in a hotel. Anyhow, the it seems to have the right amount of natural light, which makes the picture pleasing to look at. There seems to be a great amount of positive space in the center of the picture and the left side, which makes the picture asymmetrical. My eyes were instantly drawn to the television, because it shows the reflection of the window's outside view. I like the picture overall, because it has a sort of dreamy look to it. Mostly because it reminds me of my room back in Mexico when I was a kid.

The point of view of this picture also supports my claim of its dreaminess. The point of view is 1st person, which in my opinion makes it more personal, and enables me to relate to the picture's contents. I loved the picture. It's yellow color reminds me of the calm and mellow aspect of my childhood.

This is a photo of a person lying on a hotel bed. The colors are dull because the photographer wants to put an emphasis on the person's feet and the TV. The image is correctly exposed and in focus. You know this because everything is clear and contains no grain. This is pleasing to look at because it brings a simplicity to life. The angle that the photographer used was one where it looked like the person took it. The focal point is the desk/TV. The image is balanced because everything is symmetrical.

This photograph shows a man crossing his legs while looking at a television set. The objects in the room make it seem like the photo was taken in the 80s-90s. There is a wooden chair at a wooden desk with a lamp and a suitcase on it. the curtains are open letting in lots of natural light.

This picture shows a person relaxing during a business trip. This person is in a motel. It is during the middle of a hot day. She/he is watching tv. The person just got there and still has there shoes on. I know this is a business trip because there is a suitcase on the desk and the room is neat. This is a deep depth of field and the resolution is mediocre. The shutter speed was fast but not too fast. Comments are closed.
