Local Austin

The photographer that I chose is Matt Crump. The first things that caught my eye was the photographers use of colors and subjects. Crump takes pictures of iconic signs, or buildings here in Austin. I think that his choice of subjects really appeal to the Austin crowd because people here know of, or visit, these places. He edits his pictures using VSCO and a variety of other apps, or websites, making the pictures quite bright, bringing out the vibrant colors.
Austin Motel
This is the picture that first caught my eye. It's bright neon pink sign and baby blue sky really compliments each other. It also follows the rule of thirds, the sign is mostly located on the right side of the third.
Austin, Texas
I really like this picture because I have never seen this sign, yet it looks like something that would belong somewhere in Downtown Austin. Again it follows the rule of thirds, and the coloring is very bright with the baby blue background.
Frost Tower
I have seen this tower, and pictures of this tower, so often. However, this is by far my favorite because of all the purple and blue tints shown in the Frost Tower. Also, the sky isn't solid blue, it's a gradient from light blue to a baby blue.
Sunset Power
I love the sunset colors in this picture a lot. How the sky goes from a orange hue to a purple is really pretty and I see these sunsets all the time here. The photo follows leading lines and rule of thirds.
Hello
This photo shows off the famous graffiti seen all over Downtown Austin. I really like all the bright neons the photographer used, and how the "Hello" is right in the middle of it all.
