1st Assignment review.

Reviewing Juliani Acosta's work.

1.  I find Juliani's color schemes to be very rebellious.  His high contrast along with his vibrant colorway seem to challenge the viewers perspecive.  He's very good being creative in his placement of light figures in the photographs.  The structures of some of his photographs do a great job of leading the viewers eyes in a specific direction that might not be familiar to them.  Some of his editing choices did add a great deal of noise in some of his pictures

2. His final photograph that has the "Package Pickup" sign in the middle can tell a story on an abstract level.  His use of reflection causes confusion and multiple reviews to try to figure out what exactly is going on.  Also, it is the only image involving both human and text, which are two key components in a narrative.  The picture I feel was taken for the viewer to create his or her own story while trying to answer your own questions.

3. The strongest overall image in my opinion is his firs photograph with the 3 little birds and the trippy and unbalanced border surrounding them.  Here he puts us through this moment where we feel as if our vision is being telescoped to see this high contrasted focal point.
