David Noton ,"Waiting for the Light"

David Noton is a landscape and travel photographer. Noton made this image in Singapore. I am intrigued by his use of color and light. The morning sunlight has a special subdued color beauty. The photograph focuses on the woman in the foreground, the blurry subjects in the background wear green and pink clothes, that allow the subject to further be pushed into the forefront. The and the subject appear at peace.

ABOUT

This blog was inspired by the 1 Image 1 Minute written column in X-TRA and subsequent live iterations of the project by Micol Hebron. The inspiration for the 1 Image 1 Minute column was a similar project produced by Belgian director Agnès Varda (and later written about by Rosalind Krauss) for French television in 1983.

For this blog (and their assignment), students in Niku Kashef's photography classes are asked to select a photograph (that they did not make) that inspires or intrigues them in some way and to speak about it for exactly 1 minute (roughly 150 written words). Students post their name, the artists' name, title of the photograph, year the photograph was made and the medium along with their ~150 words.

In the second part of the assignment, students are asked to either use the image they chose to speak to OR a new image and make an inspiration image based on the photographic/2d design aspects of that image (eg direction/type of light, perspective, depth of field, focus, color palate, etc).
