    Makes these images dark and sad from the inside. They would look more happy. Usually one subject is present. These photos make me feel depressed.

  4. The black and white make the photos look more dramatic, and set a serious mood. Colored photographs would look not as serious. Focusing on subjects make the subject stand out.

  5. I feel like the photos are dark and creepy and would look a lot less creepy with color. there are two subjects in each image. the item in the front of the image is always in focus because its the focus of the picture.

  6. the black and white gives it a bolder look and brightens or darkens it.These pictures would not look as interesting with color. these photos make me entertained

  7. black and white makes the images more defined, if there was color the objects wouldn’t pop as much. there is only one subject. by focusing on one subject you get a really simple photo

  8. the black and white makes the photos more depressing and moody. with color the pictures would have less effect and not as strong a presence. there is one main subject and minor background subjects.
    by focusing on one object make the images more precise and more effective. the meaning behind the photos is sad, and i feel sad and depressed looking at them.

  9. The black and white creates a dramatic and bold look to the photos. They wouldn’t be as powerful. There is only one subject and we get more attention and detail with just one focus point rather than multiple focus points.

  10. They make the photos appear more dramatic. They would look more like regular photos. There’s only one subject in each photo, all of your focus goes to the one subject. They all feel sort of lonely.

  11. What stories do you think Kirsty Mitchell is trying to tell in these photograph?
    make believe or fairy tales
    What gives you those ideas? all the greenary and flowers
    How does MItchell inject narrative into these photographs?color
    How could you inject narrative or story into your own photographs?more focal point. ahahhahhaahahahha
