Connecting Essay Three

In this photograph I chose to use a very bright and vibrant background in order for the model to stand out. I used a very close up lens so that the detail on the face such as laughter lines are clearly visible making an interestingly detailed photograph. I chose to have the chocolate sauce round the mouth of the model as this makes it unusual and different from other photographs that I had done. The model is placed centrally a a slight tilt with the eyes in the top third of the photograph and the smile in the third. By having the chocolate sauce and the natural smile or laugh of the model I have given this photograph a childish, funny and immature feel. 

In this photograph the photographer has placed the model against a black background in order to allow the brightly coloured hair, icing and make up to stand out. The model has a pale skin tone which also allows the silhouette of the model to be clear. The expression of the model looks very forced and unnatural as well as the over the top make up however this is contrasted by the naturalness shown in the nakedness of the model. The food that has been spread on the body of the model gives the photograph a playful and comedic feel. The model is placed centrally and is framed either side with the black background. The eyes are placed in the top third of the photograph and the lips are in the boron third. 


I have chosen to connect these two photographs firstly because they both use food in order to create an interesting more individual photograph. The food in each is spread onto the model, with my photograph round the mouth and the second once placed around the face and body. Both photographs have a natural feel to them as in my photograph I captured it when the model was actually laughing instead of setting it up. The send photograph has a natural feel to it because of the lack of clothes of the model. The use of colour throughout each photograph is important as in mine the bright clashing colours make for an interesting photograph and maintain the comedic feel. In the connecting photograph the hair and icing are very bright and vibrant colours which stand out against the plain black background. This idea of making a mess with food is also continued through both of these photographs. Both photographs have placed the model centrally in order to frame them with the background. IN each photographs the eyes seem to play an important role and both are looking directly at the camera in order to engage the audience.
