William Eggleston "Untitled"
1970
William Eggleston is known for his vibrant colors in photographs and his simplicity of the subjects he chooses to shoot. What I like about his specific style is how he focuses on colors. The colors he uses help make the image stronger and stand out. Eggleston is a street photographer, in which he takes pictures of things an average person would see in everyday life, but his focus on times of day, weather, and light is extravagant. I selected this picture because of how he used his technique to make this image appealing to the eye. His attention to detail and technique is what stood out to me. From the reflection of the sky on the hood of the car, the color of the sky and how it contrasts to the paint of the car and the color of the boys' clothes, his small depth of field allowing the background to become blurry but his subjects completely in focus, all add to make this image appealing to me.
