The document discusses the background choices for a final piece that was intended to have a sense of depth of field and older style similar to photographer Andre Kertez. The city picture provided depth and a natural purple tint. The casino picture was chosen to contrast black and white with a red card, and all the objects could be found in a casino creating a tense atmosphere drawing the eye to the red. While another background provided warmth, the casino background had a stronger link to the targeted artistic style and sense of tension.

2.  The backgrounds I chose
for my final piece were
carefully chosen out of
the small list I had. The
city picture was chosen
as it had a depth of field
to it, this really lent
itself over to my picture
as I was trying to create
a distant sense of depth
of field. The image also
had a natural purple tint
to it. This worked well as
I was trying to achieve an
older looking photo that
followed the styles of
Andre Kertez.
 The casino picture was
chosen as I intended to
base the entire piece off
of the contrast between
the black and white, and
the red card. This worked
well as I felt all of the
objects in the picture
could have been found in
a casino

5.  Whilst this
background,
paired with a
yellow/orange tint,
created a very
warm and
comfortable
atmosphere. I felt
as though the
casino background
had a stronger link
to my artists. As
well as this, the
casino picture
created a tense
atmosphere that
drew eyes to the
red initially and
then let the viewer
explore the rest of
the photo.
