Still Photo: Julian Casablancas


This is a photo of Julian Casablancas performing with his band, The Strokes, at the Isle of
Wight Festival in Newport, Isle of Wight. This photo was posted on Zimbio (an interactive online magazine) as part of a photo gallery from the festival. The photograph was taken by Simone Joyner of Getty Images Europe.

  • The photographer does a good job of utilizing depth of field to make the photo more dramatic. Everything is completely faded away in the background, so the subject is much more prominent.
  • The photographer also balanced aperture and shutter speed very well. Enough light was let into the lens to get the correct exposure, but the shutter speed was fast enough to avoid blur.
  • The lighting in this photograph is also very good. The photographer uses top light (that ray of light beaming down), but because that light is very difficult to work with, you can also tell that there is another lighting source illuminating the subject from the side and therefore eliminating shadows that would have gotten in the way.
