Bruno Barbey

This photograph is really interesting because of all the horizontal and vertical lines present. The background is filled with a strong horizonal line where the windows begin, and about a 1/3 of the way up the photo as well. Two strong vertical lines are present on either side of the window frame. In between the strongest lines mentioned above, the background is filled with vertical and horizontal grids. The gates on both the right and left side of the background enhance the rigidness as well. The figure in front creates a strong, dark vertical as well. The umbrella softens the picture with it's rounded top, and this motion is mimicked in the floor pattern. The colors are all from a similar hue, which allows the eye to focus on the dark and light variations throughout the picture. Barbey created a long depth of film, since the picture creates a lot of space and the background is still fairly clear.
