Valentine's Day Contrast Colors

Because Valentine's Day is right around the corner I thought this picture was appropriate.I love how well the magenta, cherry red and black go together it is such great contrast and makes for a really striking picture. This is also such a good example of centering, the eye naturally goes from the top of her legs down to her face. Another good fashion photo I love!

I think this photograph represents the rule of thirds, at first glance one would most likely notice he long evening gown cascading over the spiral staircase, and the eye is naturally drawn to the blue dress bunched up on the bottom of the floor. The image also contains framing, when looking closely the girl is framed in the long doorway behind her. If the photographer had not used those techniques the girl could have easily been lost in the blues and whites in the background of the photograph.
I love this picture for its vintage charm, the simplicity of the photo is what caught my eye and what was especially interesting to me is how elegant the model looked even while wearing a funky print, the picture remains so simplistic because nothing is in the photo that doesn't contribute the overall quality. Contrast is also an apprent technique used, the white background paired with the models dark features helps the picture to nearly pop off the page.
I saved my favorite picute for last, something about that dress, the bold colors just made me stop in my tracks. One of the main techniques I noticed was the use of subject background, it was blurred to draw the eye all the way down the picture. Another thing I noticed was contrast, although it wasn't the ordniary black and white contrast I am used to seeing, the hot pink and black really pops with the blurry white background

Simply Decadent

Okay, I promise I am not obsessed with Dior I just love this picture of Emily Blunt it makes me think of Marie Antoinette and pink cupcakes. The colors are so warm and smooth,to me this just screams luxury and it works.

Dominant Dior

I think this is a good example of dominance, the balloons were the first thing my eyes were drawn to when I looked at the picture. Even though there are many different colors used they all seem to work well together in making a distinct and attractive ad.
