Research Log - Michael Ross

I chose Michael Ross' photography because he shows off the creative use of light in a number of ways, from light drawing to night photograph to the use of water reflections. I really like all his photography because the way he portrays light is very unique and abstract. 

This photograph is very creative because of the use of colour. The use of reflection also is a very good way of showing off the creative use of light. The contrast between the colours in the glasses and the white background make the image stand out. The use of relocation is also shown in this photograph, this gives the image a 3d effect and makes it look more realistic.

This photograph shows off the creative use of light through light drawings. I really like this photograph because I have never seen a light drawing in this way, the image is very abstract and unique and honestly it doesn't look like a photograph at all. There is the use of contrast in this image, which again makes it stand out, the black background makes the bright colourful lights the focal point of the image and it draws the viewers attention to this image,

This photograph shows off the creative use of light through reflection. I really like this photograph because of how simple it is. There is also contrast in this image between the bright pink and the black which makes the image stand out. Reflection is a very important factor in this image because it gives it a 3d effect and it makes it look more realistic which I believe is important, especially in this image because the photograph is done so well that it doesn't even look like a photograph.

This photograph portrays the creative use of light very well, through the contrast of the sky and the buildings, there is also the use of depth in this image which is shown through shadows; this gives the image a 3d effect. Another aspect of this image that I enjoy is the way the creative use of light is shown through the sky, as it looks unrealistic and abstract but this makes the image stand out because it is almost unbelievable that this is a photograph.

His photography influences me to try out a number of different way to show off the creative use of light in a creative and abstract manner.

Overall, I really enjoy Michael Ross' photography because each photograph is different and the way he portrays the creative use of light is unique and creative.
