analysing an image
TASK:
Annotate this photograph using the following prompts:
MY RESPONES: Looking at this photograph my eyes are first drawn to the centre where the lady is holding the piece of paper. The reason is because the way paper is over her face makes me more drawn to the image as well as the contrast between the dark eyes and the white paper captures my attention. The eyes look very dark and lips stand out less which makes the lips seem almost invisible because all the attention is taken away from it by the eyes. I the photo was taken around 1970's or 1990's because the clothes look modern but at the same time because of the black and white tones the photo looks old. Also when I look at the shield in the background the picture of the lady looks much older. I don't know if this photo was taken by a male or a female because there is know way to know, there is no indication that might suggest if the photographer is male or female. What I feel is most interesting, is the two paintings that cover both her face and feet also the way the light form the window hits her lap.It's really intriguing because this whole photograph is black and white but that light which is hitting her lap brings some sort of life to the photo. If I could ask the photographer a question it would be 'What inspired you to take this photo?' I would ask this because the photo is very unique and interesting in its own way and I have never seen anything like it before,but after looking at it for a while I get bored of it. If I were to give this photo a title, it would be 'faces' because there are many faces in the image and the title is simple just like the photo. If I were to hear this title I would really want to know what the photo actually might look like and it would make up imagination go wild with ideas. |
