Step 2: Describe This photo showcases a basketball right in front with a face hidden behind it. The basketball has its original color, but the rest of the photo is black and white. The little bit of background that is seen is blurred at so that the main focus is the person and basketball. His face is very serious, he isn't smiling. Step 3: Analyze The element used in this photo was color. The basketball is in color and really stands out from the rest of the photo which is black and white. The black and white really makes his face stand apart from the ball, as well as give it a different view. The principle used was balance because the black and white is balanced with the color of the basketball. The basketball really shows texture to balance out the otherwise smooth photo. Step 4: Interpret This photo shows someone that really loves basketball, someone that is very passionate on and off the court. The basketball in the photo shows that this person is very serious about this sport and doesn't mess around with it. His stern expression gives a very humorless feeling for this photo, but the hint of color gives it a bit more brightness. Step 5: Judgement I feel like sports can be challenging because there are so many different ways for them to be taken, but this photo really captures the players and the sport. I really like this photo and think that it worthy of being hung in a house. The artist was very successful with portraying the theme of sport portraits in a unique way.
