Visual Story- CONTRAST

Colors have qualities that can cause certain emotions in people. For instance we consider red for anger, green for calmness, yellow for joy/happiness, and blue for sadness. In the following pictures I’ve used contrasting colours such as red with green and blue with yellow. But the amount of these colours visible is in an uneven manner. In the Green and red combination, one of the picture has more green and less red visible whereas the other picture has more red and less green visible. Here contrasting colour psychology has also been used. The image with more green and less red shows a silhouette of an angry person. And the image with more red and less green shows the shadow of a calm person. So the emotional response of shadow is based on the amount of the contrasting colour. Thus the quantity of a particular color can affect the way a person feels.

A human face can make around 21 different types of expressions. We are surrounded by numerous human beings, everyone having a different story. Sometimes the story told by the face may be completely opposite to the real one. And many times we end up believing the fake story and the illusion. In the following pictures, the light depicts the misleading notion of a fake emotion while the shadow casts the reality.

Image reading.

This photograph was taken by Henry Cartier -Bresson. The picture is in a monochromatic form. In this picture a human is shown going down the stairs. Which depicts when a person goes through a downfall in his life, the spiral goes narrower with time, and drowns in his own thoughts until the very end when the spiral becomes a dot. In his monochromatic life when in darkness he cannot see the light right in front of his eyes. And the textures seem mundane, forgetting the detailed circular design and loses himself in the squares. Even though he might find it frightening he will still try to move forward to go through it all again.
