Heather Buckley - Review

After my initial shoot I discovered that fill flash brought a brightness to the picture. I like how fill flash produces a crisp blue sky in the background but as I have found out is hard to do it on a cloudy day.
After more in depth review I have discovered that Buckley also uses a lot of bright colours in her work. For instance this picture was taken in Paris and has a wide range of colour. This contrasts to how I took my pictures which were very green and brown and contained little variants. The colour pallet of this time of year is very small anyway.

Contre Jour outside the Metro Paris France

This picture is taken from a low angle, out side of a metro station in Paris so you would get a candid picture of the people walking. It would have been taken in morning or in the evening  when the trains could have been getting busy.
In the picture she got in a reflection of the sky in the glass windows to the left.
 The colours of the sky and building contrast the flowers in the foreground due to there being different colours. The flowers in the front of the picture has been lit up by the sun or the use of an external flash.
There are lots of different textures in the picture, such as the sky and the glass being smooth , while the flowers have a texture and the buildings are rough.
The picture gives the over all feel of a weekend due to the lack of people in what could be a evening or morning.
The sun was nearly blocked out by a person who happened to be walking out of the metro station. This gives a glare effect on the picture.
From my in depth review of some of Buckley other work I was able to discover that I need to look more in-depth into the contrasting of different textures and colours. This will make my pictures, while experimenting with fill flash, look better than I was able to take before hand.
