Fine Art Photo Study

1. Marc Adamus

This photograph is by Marc Adamus and captures Washington's olympic wilderness coast. Adamus uses a very long exposure to capture the surreal colours and the beauty exhibited during the twilight hours. The contrasting colours add dramatic effect to the photograph, the dark sky is a connotation of a storm however the orange strip of sunshine is breaking up the darkness proving that the light will always shine through. Photographs like this manage to end up becoming natural metaphors. The denotation of this photograph is the sunset shining through the clouds, photographs like this only tend to come around twice a day, 6am and 6pm or the twilight zone. Despite the natural nature of this photograph, it becomes quire abstract when you consider the way the sky contrasts with the ground.
