Picture 1
This picture is a close up of the face of a little girl. She is fairly bundled up in a snow suit, allowing the viewer to realize that she is in a cold climate. More traces of the climate can be seen in the snow that is caught in her hair. In her left eye you can see the reflection of a person and of a background of snow. This photograph has a very interesting atmosphere evoked through it's muted colors the cold atmosphere. The photographer's use of close up also takes you into a different person's perspective, which is another interesting aspect.


Picture 2
The second picture evokes the atmosphere of a fairy tale. The photographer uses different techniques to come about this effect, making the photograph have a dreamlike, fuzzy, ephemeral quality to it. The photograph is of a beautiful castle, complete with towers and spires on a hill surrounded by trees. Past the castle, land and villages are visible in the distance, giving a good sense of perspective and majesty.

Picture 3
This picture is trying to evoke a completely different atmosphere from the previous two. The focus of this photo was to show a more moody and ghostly aura. The techniques used were all to make the photograph seem more eerie and to give it a creepy feeling. The photo shows two little girls standing in front of a hotel or apartment door. The photo is in black and white and the girls appear like spirits fading into the background of the door. The photographer uses perspective in the picture as well by placing the girls at the end of a long hallway. The overall effect manages to make the little girls seem like old ghosts haunting this space.
