“Rose on Driftwood”
Art is portrayed in many ways. One common way is through nature. Nature had hidden secrets that not many people notice. Anything in nature can be used to create art. Ansel Adams, a famous photographer, finds natural and similar things in nature to photograph. In the photo, “Rose on Driftwood”, Ansel Adams prompts the viewers to compare the components of the image to show the similarities they share that are secretly hidden.
Ansel Adams uses juxtaposition to compare the objects in the image and the different textures both components share. Adams compared the rose petals and the driftwood and noticed the similar shapes they have. He used a camera that would take a close up image of the rose to show the texture of it and make it stand out to the viewers. By doing this, the viewers would be able to imagine how soft the rose petals are just by looking at the image. He uses driftwood as the background to emphasize the rose petals and make the image stand out as a whole. The design of the driftwood is very similar to the texture of the rose petals. The petals and the driftwood both have a soft texture to it, causing the components in the image to stand out.
