This is an image of a man standing in the desert. This picture only shows a older man, cacti, and mountains. The lighting makes it seem cloudy outside. The colors used are blues, reds, greens, and white. These colors are used to show that the desert is an empty place.

The image depicts what seems to be an older man in a desert type background. He dresses like a cowboy, or someone who is from more Western parts, it may be photographed there too. It uses a bright blue hat to pop against the more muted red on his checkered shirt. This also helps draw the eye not only to the body and scenery of the picture, but specifically to the man’s face. The lighting in the photo isn’t super bright nor is it super dark, one can guess that the picture was taken around four or five PM.

The portrait shows that he is probably a farmer. The main is very old and he is in the desert. The environment can tell me that he is probably in the south. He could also be a farmer based on him being in the desert. He looks very rugged and mad.

This image is about an old man that is either tired or sad. its using dark colors to make the image more dramatic. The old man looks very tired and sad, this man seems like he is a serial killer or that he is traumatized.

The picture is a photo of a older man out in the country area looking straight at the camera.the main colors used are green, yellow, and blue. The lighting is just natural light but not too bright. The photo includes a man and a country landscape. The man is looking straight into the camera very confused.

The image is of a man in what could be a dessert. The man is wearing a blue, red, and white flannel shirt. He has on blue pants. He has a clothespin on his pant pocket. He is wearing a blue jean looking hat. He is in a place where there are not any tall trees. There are many cacti and tumbleweeds. There are mountains behind him. In the background, there are greens and yellows and greys. The light is natural but it looks like it could be cloudy because there aren't any harsh shadows. There are no objects. The main subject is the man.

The picture is of an older man in the desert. He is wearing a plaid red white and blue shirt with a blue hat and a blue pair of jeans. There is cacti and sand all around him (probably arizona type area.) There are power lines in the back and the sky is a very light pink. There are dried out and dead trees in the back.

This picture shows a old man standing in the desert. He is wearing a blue hat and looking directly at the camera. The picture looks bright. The color of the picture is kind of grey. The background is a mountain full of rock. He is the only person in the picture.

This is an image of a man standing in a desert. The image focuses on the elderly man and the background is out of focus. All we can see is that there are lots of cactuses and dead bushes it appears to be late in the day, this is shown by the red hues in the sky. The man's shirt makes it so that he pops against the background. Based on what we know about the artist there is a good chance that the man is or was a miner.

This image is of a man in a blue hat standing in a desert with cacti and shrubs. Judging by the lighting this looks like this image was taken around sunset. The sun light seems very mellow and not too harsh. I believe this image is not taken with studio lighting. He also seems to have a laundry clip on his left pocket. Comments are closed.
