Lenscratch 2013 Portrait Exhibition


Melissa Anderson, Contaminated Water

The lighting in this image is cast down from above, creating high contrast and long shadows. The image is tightly cropped which makes the central focus in the details from the eyebrows and the nose. The dark, desaturated colors add to the grimy expression as reflected in the title. This image is successful because the lighting and shadows add to the dark message of the photographer. The expression is beaten, dirty, tired.
