Exhibition review

The photograph I have chosen to write about is the Panorama of Old Town with the Gates of Dawn. This photograph is currently being shown in the exhibition in Dublin's Gallery showcasing photographs of Kestutis Stoskus. I found the exhibition to be interesting because of how the photographer depicts architectural elements of Vilnus, almost creating a story with the lighting he uses as well as the shadows. I also found it interesting that he does not try to capture people in his photographs but more of the building and with lights, shadows and angles he creates a story making you want to ask more questions about a particular photograph

The reason I chose this particular picture was because of all the architectural elements in this photograph. I love how precise and intricate detail of the lighiting is in the photos are because it creates and almost magical land, which I would imagine to be only in movies. I also found it interesting that apart from the buildings there is almost a story being told here. Over at the front foreground there are people entering the building that is marked with a cross. This tells me that this is a misty cold Sunday morning also because of the fog in the background of the picture as well as the snow that fills the roofs of all these buildings.

I liked this photograph because of how almost unrealistic it looks although it looks almost reachable. The textures we see and the feelings we get from looking at this picture. I like how we can see the emotion and love the photographer has for this place by the top angle he uses and emphasis he uses on the buildings rather than the scenery which are kind of caught in the middle that creates more of a story. Over all I did like the exhibition. I found it was different and taught me more about the details of photography.
