This photograph “New York City, 1967” is a Gelatin Silver Print by Gary Winogrand. I chose this picture because of lighting and the expression in this photo. There is a wide range of light and it looks like it is in the sun with dark shadows. It adds a lot of contrast to the photo and makes it more intriguing. The composition focuses on two women in the middle ground looking at another woman in the foreground who is not facing the camera. You can assume the women are having a conversation and woman with dark long hair does not look very happy. While the women next to her seems to be staring down at the woman we cannot see. There is a lot of emotion you can feel from the photo by observing their faces. It feels as if you are there with them in the photo. Another part of the composition is the dark shadows and how they work in the picture. There is a dark diagonal shadow across the right corner and another shadow across the bottom left. This works in away that puts the two woman facing us in the spotlight and draws your eyes to them.

Good observations of shadows light and directional glances. The central woman seems very disapproving.
