FACTUAL: This picture is captured by Annie Leibovitz. She is an
American Portrait Photographer and one of the best and most famous in the world.
Her work has been very popular, and she has even taken photos for magazines ‘Vanity
Fair’ and ‘Rolling Stone’. Some of her clients included John Lennon and Mick
Jagger. This image is of famous model, Kate Moss.
CONTEXT: This picture was taken for a magazine, 21st century.
TECHNICAL: I think that Annie has taken this picture in a studio or a certain
place/ restaurant, lying across a sofa against a wooden wall and an old carpet.
I think Annie has used these props for effect; Kate is wearing a stunning
dress, and with seemingly dull surroundings it brings more attention and appeal
to the beautiful dress. The effect might also be to draw attraction to Kate as well.
AESTHETIC: What I like most is the dress, and how Annie has chose to
display it with Kate. The beautiful colours textures and layers of the dress
have been eye catching in the picture and has reflected beautifully on Kate.
excellent start!
ReplyDeleteclearly sub-head each section Facts, Context, technical, aesthetic. get use to doing this so your blog looks consistent.
I love how you have compared the contrast of textures. this is called juxtaposition, where you bring opposites next to each other to emphasis the each subjects qualities.
welldone for stating WHAT and HOW things are happening or put together and making sure that your facts and context are accurate...you have shown effective research.
