Analysing Harold Edgerton's work

 
 
These are some of the pictures I like of Harold Edgerton.





This image really stood out to me because I like it how you are able to see the bullet go through the card in a slow motion. It's very detailed. The two sides so J can represent love and hate. Also, the background shows a gradual change from the dark blur colour to light. This also supports the idea of love and hate. I like the fact that the background has plain colours so the card is the subject that's focused in the picture. Furthermore, the card is placed on the darker side which emphasis it's importance. Overall, this image creates a straight lines as the sides of the cards as straight and the suit of the card is diamonds which is created by lines too. The bullet goes straight through the card which connects the two important subject together although they are seperate . The bullet is shown to be reddish/maroon which symbolises blood so, it personifies the card as a living being as it's bleeding to death; it makes it seem the card was alive. This is further supported by the colour of the card (red) which again shows a sign of blood and death. This image uses the rule of thirds and the space between the card and the bullet.
I think that this image creates a sense of danger also a warning.
