Three Dark Pictures

Although this untitled picture by Sue Demetriou is not to eerie, it is still a form of dark photography, nature to be exact. The picture itself represents the ferocity of wolves due to the timing as the wolf is shown bearing all of its teeth. Most of the picture is in a grayscale format to emphasise the darkness of the picture, although the eyes of the wolf are left as their original colour to make the wolf seem more intimidating.

 This picture in particular has an unidentified photographer and it is left untitled. One thing in particular that makes this picture ‘dark’ is the person behind the glass wearing a gas mask. You cannot see the eyes of the person who is wearing the gas mask, which almost makes them seem hollow. Gas masks are also generally associated with the first and second world war, which sparks a sense of ominousness. The rain dropping down the window represents a form negativity as rain is associated with being miserable.

The final picture I have decided to review also remains untitled. The photographer has edited this picture to make it seem as if the only thing that is completely visible is the eye of the individual in the picture. In my opinion, I feel like the eye colour (Amber) emphasizes the darkness in this picture because of how much colour it has and how bright it is. The picture itself is quite simplistic as well as the editing but it still delivers an eerie feeling to the viewer of the picture.
