Eliminating the subject’s environment from the composition,
viewing it from a unique angle, or employing selective focus, removes its context.
This allows the viewer to free his imagination to see the subject in a more
creative and abstract way.
When a photograph is created, the composition, timing, and
inclusion of specific elements, is all subject to the photographer’s personal
vision. This can be interpreted as distortion, due to the fact that the
photographer’s personal vision dictates what is conveyed to the viewer.
For this particular image, I photographed an old and
dilapidated train car in Victor, Colorado. I found the subject to be
interesting, but a compelling composition was evading me. As I studied the car
I noticed some peeling paint on one of the walls, and realized that I found my
subject.
