Taylor Donges, Critique 1, Smartphone Photography F13; Dynamic B&W effect


     For my most popular photo, I used the basic black-and-white effect on my Android’s camera application. I found the subject of my photo while walking around with my girlfriend, looking for potentially inspiration. There was a fancy, high-end toy store with all sorts of cute animals in the window. There was also something that looked out of place: creepy troll marionette puppets. The puppet that I chose to photograph was decorated to look like a baker. The best part was that the baker puppet seemed to be serving another troll’s head as a tasty meal. Note: This was supposedly intended as a child’s toy. Anyways, I framed the troll puppet and took a few shots. The reflections in the glass storefront provided a strange, disorienting effect. I thought that the effect added to the creepy nature of the already creepy photo.
