Edward Watson - Annotation

This is my first option. 

This black and white photograph is a picture of a mill. I found this photograph in Edward Watson's book, ''Forms of Passion''. This photograph really stood out for me as it comes across very simple but makes you think so much about every single, little detail because of how the photograph was taken. What I mean by this is how the mill comes across 'powerful' as it feels like it's towering over you from the angle it has been taken from and the way how Watson only took the photo about midway, cutting the bottom and the top off. The fact that this photo is black and white makes it stand out more to the viewers because of how it's got sharp, hard, direct lines leading upwards. I would of imaged that Watson used a tripod for this specific photo as it is well balanced. 





This is my second option.

This is another black and white photograph of Edward Watson's. This is another photo that caught my eye as I think this photo represents it being an oldish photograph as from what you can see. For example, the big arena and massive gathering of people. I presume that this photograph is a Colosseum which goes back a while ago as it was built in the first century. I think this photo only comes across more appealing to the viewers as Watson has took this photo from a high angle, making you see a bit of everything each in one shot but with a bigger focus onto the arena area as it daunts your eye to that specific section. 

This is my third option. 

Once again, another black and white photograph of Edward Watson's. This image simply catches your eyes as it drawn's you into the photograph as it comes across very empty but seems like so much it going on at the same time. The scruffy walls, no windows comes across as it may be an abandoned building which tells a story on why it is, and how it is. I think Watson used a tripod for this photograph because of how well balanced it is.










This is my forth option. 

Yet again, this is a white and black photograph of Edward Watson's. I chose this photo as it was the front cover of his book, ''Forms of Passion''. This image seems so powerful but yet so alone as she comes across like an dependent women as she's by herself. It makes you feel like this image tells a story as she seems fragile and hurt and maybe that's why she's sat on the floor with her head down on her knees.
