In the second photograph that Larry Fink shot, you are able to see a contrast of black and white shown throughout the picture and the lighting looks to be shot perfectly but also was from a flash so it shows it being reflected of the back of the woman's hair, Elton, and his friend. The focal point of the photograph was shown to be of Elton John and his friend, he looks to be interacting with other people and you're able to really take in what it is showing. The mood seems to be happy but also serious, maybe showing an important event about to happen or really soaking up the emotion atmosphere created by Elton John. Both Elton John and his friend seem to be looking at someones face that is unknown to us.

LARRY FINK SERIES
The theme that I presented in this series was empathy with nature. My photographs show this theme because I took them at In Between the Lakes and they all visually show trees, water, and clouds which tie the idea of nature together. The visual movement of the clouds as well as the texture of the ground leads your eye throughout the photo series. The quote that I chose by Larry Fink was "Many photographers photograph so they can make a picture. They're attracted to the structural nature of the image and the kind of hunt involved in picture-making. But for me, photography has always been told rather than an end in itself, a way of attempting to understand what it means to feel kinship with another-what, I think, could be called empathy." I feel like I can relate to this quote because for me when I take pictures, I want to tell a story and allow people to be in a different world. I feel like this quote and my images really draw a lot of attention towards that, each photo is aesthetically pleasing , interesting colors which makes it more visually appealing.
