Joel Sternfeld American Prospects
Joel Sternfeld American Prospects, contains photographs taken throughout the American landscape and within the book are some famous photographs of his, such as the 'McLean, Virginia, 1978'. The photographs taken throughout the book are all printed in colour and it is noticeable that the colour has a key role within this book as it helps emphasise the vibrancy of American and the contrasts between different colours within the American landscape.
'Wet 'N' Wild Aquatic Theme Park, Orlando, Florida, 1980'
This is the cover image of the book. The image shows people at one of the American water parks, it shows tourists relaxing and enjoying themselves with friends and/or family members. The main subject of the image is the middle ground where there is people within the wave pool enjoying themselves.
Within this image I find colour really interesting because I like how bright and vivid the water within the wave pool is in comparison to the rest of the image as the rest of the image's colour is dull and bland, this helps to draw your eyes onto the main subject of the image easier.
