This photo is in the style of Claude Monet who is a french impressionist painter. He focuses on the changing of seasons in the French countryside through his paintings. My picture is similar to his painting because it shows nature and in his pictures you can see the small brush strokes he has made, similar to mine. In my photo you can see the small brush strokes however my picture is a photograph and therefore the brush strokes have been made on photoshop. The art movement his paintings belong too are the art movement photo impressionism which focuses on capturing real life without any effects which shows that photoimpressionsim artwork is figurative. Photo impressionism follows the same shot types and angles in each picture regardless of who it is taken by because the images focus on what is in the frame instead of how it is taken. In the picture above I have taken a medium close up of the fountains using a small aperture and a fast shutter speed to make sure the picture isn't over or under exposed. The picture is taken in natural lighting and the lines of the fountain act as leading lines because your eyes are automatically drawn to them. The connotations of photo impressionism are that everything has beauty as nothing is beer adjusted or edited when it is painted or photographed. I also think that the use of small strokes shows the detail in the picture and makes it look like something you can physically touch. The art work is arranged so that the white grabs your attention and your eyes are drawn to the water and the movement. I would improve this image by showing g the change in weather over a period of time similar to my photographer.
