Margaret's Photographs


This photograph contains many different elements that make it one of the greatest of Margaret Bourke-White. There are many shapes and lines that draw your eye from one thing to the other. The man walking in the tunnel shows the greatness of the tunnels and how big it is. There are more lines than anything else, and it takes your eyes all over the picture. This photograph would not turn out very well in color because the shadows and lights on it would not be as dominant if it were.



This photograph is another popular one of here that made the cover of LIFE. The picture draws your eyes from the bottom of the tower right to the top which also makes it a photograph that shows architectural strength. Her architectural photographs show all portrayals of what man can do. The rule of two thirds is very obvious in this photograph because two thirds of the picture is of the building.








This photograph deals with many different elements of photograph. You can mostly determine that it's main element is near to far because of the lines drawing you from the top of the paper where it is close to the bottom where it is farther away.
