Robert Bergman: A Patient Man.

During my last meeting with Dan we talked about Robert Bergman. He asked me to anaylze/ talk about his pictures. So....here it is.

1) (SIDE) I think the colors in this picture are absolutely exquisite!! The blue and the red on the background really make her face POP! Just the serene, fierceness of her facial expression makes this picture great. She is just a regular person, not a model--- an average human.This is my favorite picture of his so far that I've seen.






2) (BELOW) The lines of this picture are great. There are vertical lines on the wall behind him and he is wearing horizontal stripes on his shirt, which make us look at his face. He is a normal person. That is what I really really love about Robert's work. He shoots real people on the street, not models that are all spruced up. His pictures show a story of the person he photographs.

3) (BELOW) Another thing I really like about his pictures is that he knows how to utilize color with his composition. The red of her hair and the red of her lips connect with the rust background behind her head. It makes her skin come off the page, her face, and outfit. He is a color genius!!

Three pictures shown were taken by Rober Bergman.
