Definition - Contrast

Contrast: 

The state of being strikingly different from something else in juxtaposition or close association.

My own definition:

Comparing to show unlikeness or differences. 

In this picture, contrast is shown by using black and white to show the huge difference in the tones of the two colours. Because black and white contrast each other massively, the photographer decided to add two glasses of water, which both reflect a bit of the opposite colour on each of the backgrounds.

Colour has been used by the photographer in this picture to show contrast as all of the colours included in this picture are completely different to each other. The colours have been picked deliberately because they all stand out and also help each other to stand out due to the differences between them.

In this picture, the photographer has shown contrast by portraying the difference in age as well as size. A ring has also been added to emphasise on the age difference as this is the what the photographer wanted the viewer to focus on. Moreover, the wrinkles on the big hands contrast to the small hands with no wrinkles.

This picture contains two contrasting colours to show the difference between them. Although both fruits appear to be citric, the colour difference shows a huge contrast between them, making them appear extremely different to each other.
