Hungarian Ball, 1977/2009
Archival Inkjet Print, 15 x 12 1/2 in.
The image I choose was " Hungarian Ball" by Larry Fink. What initially attracted me to the image was the perspective of the people throughout the image. The placement of the people creates a zig zag form of line that leads you to the very back of the image with the last person. This makes the viewer scan the entire image, and makes almost every detail of equal importance. The lighting is very attractive, in the way that it is dimly lit and takes you into a moment. The details lay on the closest people's faces. Yet, the viewer can still clearly see the expressions of each person, and their reactions to one another. The person closest to the camera, is a woman that looks almost made out of wax. In contrast, the other people in the frame seem to show some form of expression.
The photo is matted then framed in a simple thin black frame. I think it would be more interesting to have the image to pop off the wall with no frame. I think when framed like this it would make the line created by the people stand out better.
