Post 9

In this photograph taken by Caitlin Atkinson, there are many elements of it that stand out. For instance, the background- the stove, the counter, the utensils, the kitchen- are all blurry and the only things that are in focus in this photograph are the women and her outfit and the baked good that she is holding. By doing this, it places a much larger emphasis on the women, particularly her facial expression at least that is what I noticed the most. There are not too many bright colors in the kitchen, and the background of the photograph is darker than the women and her baked good. By doing this, even more emphasis is placed on the women. The potholders look as if they match the shirt that the women is wearing, whether this was intentional or not, or whether or not they do actually match I do not know. Maybe this is to place more emphasis on the women, as she is the main focal point of this particular photograph, so it would make sense. The look is her face is either one of shock, anger, or disappointment, but it is certainly not the face that is made when something turns out well. It is also unclear as to what she was trying to bake and for whom she was trying to bake. This element ads some uncertainty to the photograph that makes the viewer wonder more about the situation at hand in which this women tried to bake something.
