4) Andrew is a fantastic Photographer who captures natural light and in this particular photograph, he perfectly captures rays of light coming through tree leaves, and silhouettes his self. I really love this picture because I am a huge fan of silhouettes and silhouetted expression. In that I mean, here stands this man, or at least the shape of the man. We do not know his race, age, he is almost completely blacked out because of his shadow; the great thing is there is so much expression given by his silhouette alone. This man seems at rest, the environment around him is completely tranquil and etherial, and he completely parallels that, even with no facial expression. The rays of light coming in are very powerful, yet they don’t overpower him, he is still the center because of the very high contrast. One subtle effect the lighting creates is this glow jumping right off of his body, giving the man more importance, even though all he is doing is standing alone in a field.
