JOSEF KOUDELKA









- 2:3
-Wide Angle
- On the foreground we see three main subjects - violin players, whereas, in the background a group of people. The violins stand out in front of our eyes as well as the two violins. The people in the background instead seem to all merge with one another and almost create a layer that intertwines with the building they are standing in front of. The picture is clearly taken with a wide angle, the faces are deformed and it is clear that Koudelka was able to put within the same frame a lot of people, all moving, playing, talking, which with another kind of lens would have been extremely hard
- The main trajectory we perceive in the picture is towards the face in the front which represents the vanishing point

- Hasselblad Xpan panoramic
- The picture portrays a desolate field of snow. In the foreground a cut tree emerges out of the whiteness of the snow, behind it a 'snake like horizon' line appears. The forest in the background seems to slowly fade away, most probably we are assisting to a thunder storm, everything becomes blurry and there are no defined contours
- There are two main trajectories that bring the eye towards a central point represented by the two converging lines of the horizon. However our eye is attracted mainly towards the black tree in the front

- In the foreground an arm that is showing us a watch, his hand is closed and we do not see who the subject is - the subject is the time portrayed on the watch. In the background a big avenue. There are almost no cars. On the side of the street we have a series of trees and behind them tall buildings. Right at the end of the avenue there is a big and majestic building. Many lines converge on the pavement, many of which are bringing our eyes towards the focal point at the end of the long street
- The vanishing point is at the very end of the street where the big building stands. The street brings our eyes there, the tram lines, the buildings and the trees all help our eyes go towards the end of the avenue
