Tone - The lightness, brightness or value of a patch in a photograph: dark tones correspond to shadows, light tones correspond to bright or highlight areas.
Or / Slight overall colour cast or hint of colour in a print or part of image that should be neutral.
The colour theory links well to this type of Photography. The shadows and use of light would create varied tones within Colour and Tone Photography because of the shadows created and light that is cast to either mute or saturate a particular colour.
I believe that this image links well the the Tone theory because of the light and colours. The landscape itself is adding the light to the image which creates a gradient of light and shades of different colours.
This image also links to Tone Photography through the use of the different shades and contrasts that are created by the single object of light being cast onto the subjects of the image.
The Zone System
Ansel Adams developed the zone system a method of ensuring he achieved the correct exposure.
The light from this image is coming into the frame from the top. We know this because of the shadows that are created onto the bottom of the image as there is no light in that part of the image. I believe that the use of Zones do create the different effects of masculinity and femininity. The darker Zones create a harsh vibe to the image and therefore makes the image more masculine. The lighter Zones would be stereotypically feminine because of the lighter tones created by light.
Pictorialism
Pictorialism is the name given to an international style and aesthetic movement that dominated photography during the later 19th and early 20th centuries. It was used to create a soft style of photography that replicated paintings and drawings. Usually to in focus and would look grainy and old-fashioned.
