Connecting essay 5

Connecting essay 5:

In the image below a emotions is being shown through studio photography. In the image the use of composition has placed the model to the side of the frame instead of the middle. The model is also sitting at an angle with their body not directly facing the camera, however they have pointed their face directly at the camera and is looking straight into the lens. The model in the photo isn't actually portraying a emotion but looking at the camera with a  emotionless face helps to draw in attention, and makes a person look into the photo to question if theres a deeper meaning and wonder what that person is actually feeling. The use of tone in this image also helps to keep the hidden emotion a mystery as the use of colour could help reveal it.

In the image below studio emotions is also being shown. In the image the empty black background allows the model in the photo to stand out more.  The compostition in the image has positioned Scarlett to the side of the far but has still kept her as the main focus of the image. The fact her face isn't looking at the camera gives the image a more relaxed setting as well has keeping the emotion hidden  and only known by the model. 


In both of the images the use of composition has all for the model to look clearly positioned in the image as well as make the image feel relaxed. In both of the images the photo has been taken at a time that the model hasn't necessarily noticed. This relaxed setting gives a true representation of a emotion in photography and could possibly capture multiple different emotions in one shoot as the model could have freedom to control how they feel about things. By not using bright vibrant colours of just using tone, the images are able to appear subtle enough to go along with emotion and don't take away any of the focus.
