Keith Carter, “Fishbowl”
2004, Toned Gelatin-Silver Print
This picture is a black and white picture. I selected this picture because it is emotional and a little bit sentimental. The picture is showing a kind grandma dress nice and beautiful; just sit on the sofa and looking at a transparent fish tank, which only have one fish.
Keith Carter take this photo are use all around blur and more focus on the center. This method is prominent subject to get the audiences more attention. In this picture we can see the grandma doesn’t have movement or facial expression, but when we look at this picture it will bring to us a sort of lonely, sad, sympathy emotion. On the other hand, the grandma is look like miss someone or just sitting on the sofa wait for someone. The photo doesn’t show too much details but it is meaningful and exactly convey the information to the audiences that what the photographer thought. That’s why I like this photo.
