A World of Difference

Got this link from Richard:

The approach to get the attention and the leave an impression: COMPARE & CONTRAST.
It's so powerful. Just to name a few:
  • Colours: Black and White
  • Generations: Old and Young
  • Mood: Joy and Saddness
  • Social Economic Status: Wealth & Poverty - which is what the photos convey.

When they are put in separate frames, impact is not as great - as each is placed in the world of their own. The impact is normally within that context. However, when merged, the contrast leads to comparison, and hence creating a deeper impact & impression to the viewer.

So, this is the power of media!
