Tone and Color

   
            This image of Adele's sophomore album, 21, incorporates tone through the lighting within the photograph.  This is a black and white image that uses a lot of different tones to highlight and emphasize different parts of this photo. For example, her face and hand are colored in lighter shades of grey, whereas the majority of her hair and the background of the image colored in darker shades of grey and black. This relates to the element of contrast primarily since it is a greyscale image. This tragic, yet element photograph of Adele integrates contrast and tone through the lighting to create a strong tonal visual structure.



This image of the album artwork for Adele's debut album, 19, is very similar to that of the artwork for 21. The only difference, aside from the actual photo, is the fact that her debut album cover was a color photo rather than a greyscale image. However, both images have a very strong tonal visual structure and high levels of contrast. The color in this photo emphasizes Adele's hair and face, and the white and light beige lettering of the album artist and title are given attention through the contrast against the black background.
