The exhibition of photographs by Ryan Adrick included an outdoor theme of various people and places. These photos were set up horizontally and framed. The photos did not appear to be influenced by one another but shared similarities. The exhibition was cohesive because all of the photographs were in a natural setting and a relaxed atmosphere.







The photograph "Lindsay", consisted of neutral colors such as brown and green. The horizontal background vertically progressed from dark to lighter colors.



I feel that the work appeared to take place in a natural outdoor setting, the exposure focused on the woman standing in the center of the photograph. Both the woman and the landscape consisted of basic neutral colors. The woman's pose implies that she is focusing on a person or event outside of the photographic view. The woman is dressed casually, her mood appears to be reserved. I like the neutral colors displayed in the photos, as well as, the photos hazy appeareance. The thing i like most about the photo is the woman's unemotional gaze, it is mysterious to wonder what she is thinking about or looking at. Is it a friend? Is it a family member? Is she thinking about the past? The future? I feel that the pose and stare are both intentional and effective stimulators of curiousity meant to challenge the viewer to make assumptions and personalize the art emotionally. The photographer had the opportunity to elicit much more emotion but instead chose subtlety
