Ever since I was a kid I would always see in the media the reoccurence of how long walks on the beach are the romantic cliche for dates, and that is why I chose to analyze and read a picture of a couple walking the beach at sunset.
Right away in this picture we are exposed to warm colors of red, yellow, and orange. These colors can be read as a variety of emotions but in the context of this image we automatically think love. The image's colors bring you the emotion of passion and love that the couple has and makes you also want to engage in something this romantic with someone you love. You then have the urge to take someone of significance to a beautiful coast and walk the beach at sunset.
When looking at the setting of the picture it is clear that it is most likely not a heavily civilized region such as a major city. It could possibly be an island or nice vacation spot on the coast. No matter where the place is you get the sense of "escape". You get the feeling that the couple is stress free and all their worries in the world are back at their job, home, etc.. The birds in the sky are another sign of stress free as they are usually symbolized with freedom. Flying freely in the background gives you that sense of care free as well. The couple themselves, have all their cares are with each other and all their focus is on each other. Thinking of that sort scenario gives you that "fuzzy feeling" inside also inviting you to want to take a special person there.
The picture gives that stereotype of romantic long walks on the beach. It is inviting and forces that ideology that you too love long walks on the beach and want to take someone special with you.
Right when I saw this picture I thought of walking along the beach with a significant other. This is a pretty good example of something romantic. From the warm red colors, making me think of love, to the people walking on the beach. It is something we all think of. We have all heard of the long walks along the beach. This is a classic example.
ReplyDeleteI totally agree with you. Pictures of sunsets are always associated with love and a whole lot of calming sensations. And as you said the colors also in my opinion play a leading role in this. I think this could be biologically linked to the way our bodies react to various combinations of colors, e.g the way we all associate the mixture if red and black used together to signify danger. It is all hormonal in my opinion, a mere bodily reaction to the environment around us. My main area of puzzlement still is why it it is that we all have more or less the same reaction to certain color combination such as that of the sunset....why is this reaction not unique and different?
