Your Personal Response to the work
This piece of…show more content… She likes to take pictures of what the naked eye can’t see alone. Her photographs showcase high risk moments. It appears as if the subject of Greenfield’s photographs is motion but really her theme is about time.
Mood or Message of Work
Most of Greenfield’s pictures don’t refer to the real world at all; they are just from her imagination and own ideas. From a clock made out of men to someone forever frozen in time, Greenfield had several themes going on in her photographs. With that there are several different messages of love, hate, support, freedom etc. with many different messages there are several different moods. There’s happiness where love is and then there’s sadness when lonely.

I love Greenfield’s photography. They’re all gorgeous while being very minimal. I like this photograph because of the message it gives us.

His eye for the right moment to capture a moment made him unique as not many before his time could do such a thing.
Mood or Message of Work
The moods I see in his photographs are exhilarating, peaceful and mysterious. He did not want to document nature or simply take a snapshot; he wanted viewers to have a psychological experience of Mother Nature and help create emotion and beauty in his photos. As an environmentalist, he used his photographs to protect the environment from being damaged by construction workers. He wanted the world to be balanced and was disappointed when many sites opened up.

I think this picture looks extremely gorgeous. The lighting is unpredictable outside but this photo has shadows casting in the right places. He took the shot at the perfect moment. There is so much texture everywhere especially in the clouds so has made my eyes wandered around it many times just to take everything in. without images like these, you sometimes forget what’s in the
