Groundskeeper

Jay Maisel is known for his way of showing or observing colors.

In this picture, he ahs used color contrast in the picture’s composition to enhance the picture’s quality.

The greens on the header and the footer and the subject being in the middle gives an artistic touch to this picture.

Statue of Liberty in Mist

The Statue of Liberty from a top angle view looks brilliant in Jay’s perception.

The extreme long shot of the subject, using the thumb’s rule to bring the focus on the subject and the use of the natural light, i.e., the sun light for the background and the shadow of the subject brings a different clarity and sense of naturalness in the picture.

Blue Wall and the Doves

Jay Maisel’s use of colors in his pictures cannot be compared to any other photographer.

The way he has used colors to highlight the window, and therefore bringing focus to the birds sitting on the window is awesome.
