The gallery that I visited is located at the State Library of Victoria in Melbourne. I found this gallery appealing to me because of its attractive and spectacular photographs. As I entered the gallery, I decided to take a picture that shows in an attractive manner, its entrance where many photographs are stashed. This made me start thinking of the impact that would be occasioned by the absence of the pictures; probably, space would have been more open.

There are many pictures which are large and black frames with several photos on them. The photos are mounted on glass and owing to the fact that the setting is indoor, a lot of lighting is applied to prevent any darkness. The placement of the photos at the entrance of the gallery follows no particular order since they are randomly placed with the focal length being too short. In the lighting system used in the gallery, a lot of artificial lighting systems are used where they are strategically placed hanging from the ceiling of the gallery.

Placing the photos in another location other than the entrance of the gallery could have provided the illusion that there is ample and unoccupied space inside the gallery. The gallery entrance is seemingly squeezed because there is no enough space. Placing the photos individually on the wall would have given a visitor to the gallery a good chance to look at the photos. The entrance is a bit congested with all these photos stashed on the wall.

Types of Images

The types of images I viewed are dull photographs which make it difficult to see most the intricate parts. From the outlook, it is evident that they were taken by a novice in photography. The first picture comprises of four photographs which have frames on their sides. There is a set of four photographs, and below each photograph, there are writings giving descriptions of the photographs. However, the writings are not clear, and it is difficult to decipher what is written below them clearly. The printing medium used to produce these photographs is by mounting them on the glass. According to me, glass is not one of the most effective media for producing photographs. This is because glass is a brittle substance that can be easily broken.

My personal thoughts on the photograph of the tall building are that the photographer made a great effort in bringing out the building in its totality. Even to a stranger who has never been near this building, looking at the photograph gives the viewer a true image of the real building. The photograph is well balanced in all dimensions, and no spaces are left on any side. The photographer was also keen to capture the road heading to the building and the vehicles parked at the entrance of the building. The relationship between the real qualities of the building and my understanding is that of a portrayal of a true picture in a photograph. Below is the photograph of the building.
