Original Art Photography Series by @velimir #127 'Appearances'

in #art7 years ago (edited)

The name of this art photograph is: 'Appearances'

At the first glance, it appears as a social symbolism oriented photograph. I agree. There is a broken wall of a house shadowed by a Mercedes Benz hood ornament statue. The rich and the poor at their constant clash. But, could it be more than that? What if the broken wall is deliberately shadowed? Life's reality shadowed by outer appearances, maybe? Sure is, in case that the person in question owns both the broken house and an expensive car which we cannot see. Sometimes people believe appearances are way more important than what are they are truly made of.

The obvious drama is created by high contrast but I can also feel uneasiness coming from the pointillist texture wall is made from. Without a doubt, the half-shadowed open hole, contrasted with the logo shadow, carries the main meaning. But, the large dark area undertones the atmosphere and leads us into an abyss of thoughts.

The only colour adjective of this photograph is a brief touch of very light orange. Its paleness works well toward my idea way and is better than it would be if the colour was more saturated. The realism look pleasingly underlines the idea and that is why I went for it.

But then again, it could just be some careless guy who crushed the wall with the front bumper of his Mercedes but I rather prefer my story! Everything under a clear blue sky can be observed from many angles! :D

Enjoy! :)

I like the social symbolism part of it. It's simple but very meaningful. The background seems like a weathered surface, that's why we can see the materials it's made of with different colors.

Very nice...

Great photography my friend.
I get your full explanation and i must say it was well detailed. Orange is associated with joy, sunshine, and the tropics. Orange represents enthusiasm, fascination, happiness, creativity, determination, attraction, success, encouragement, and stimulation.

To the human eye, orange is a very hot color, so it gives the sensation of heat and i like it. Keep up the goodwork

The orange in there is so pale that an ordinary eye hardly registres it. Now that I look I also sense a touch of pink in it. Not 100% sure though. I believe the colour in this image is only perceived subconsciously.

Love it! For those who believe Mercedes means social elevation, there is just a shadow cast upon a peeling façade.

hahahaha nice one man, nice one!

A poignant juxtaposition. Not only the subject, but your final paragraph too!

Thank you very much. Love when people read it and understand completely! ;)

"Mercedes all around", love the photo.

WOW you have great collection i just randomly saw this post and after this i switched to your profile keep it up and i followed you!

perhaps this is why art is life...

Taking a photo of the cars shadow rather than the car itelf is extremely odd. This is not art, its a photo that any child can take in a millisecond and you chose to decieve us when you had the capability to showcase the physical car. I smell it's not your car and you are the jealous type.
