1. The image of Beyoncé uses high key lighting. There is a lot of
use of the colour white in the image, which makes us think
of innocence, purity and cleanliness. The top that Beyoncé is
wearing is low cut, however it still looks quite sophisticated,
and does not look to trashy. Beyoncé is a well-respected
artist, and this image portrays her to be this. She is wearing
minimal make up, and she still looks stunning, this sets a
good role model for her audience which is mainly girls. The
direct mode of address draws the viewer in, and the way she
is right in the middle of the image shows her dominance and
power.
This photograph of Lil Wayne has a direct mode of address. This
enhances the seriousness on Lil Wayne’s face and pose. The low key
lighting reflects the type of music he makes. He is a rapper, and sings
quite dirty and explicit songs, so the low key lighting represents this.
The jewellery in the photograph shows that Lil Wayne has money,
and that he is very successful. The tattoos show that this image is
quite informal, and also show that Lil Wayne is quite scary, as the
two tear drops on his face symbolise death. The way Lil Wayne is in
the centre of the picture shows that he is very powerful and
dominant.
The image of Rihanna is a close up, showing her facial features and a
bit of her back. The jewellery in the picture shows that Rihanna is
quite successful and rich, for those that did not know who she is. The
direct mode of address draws the audience in, and presenting her in
a sexual and seductive way. The way her lips are open, and her teeth
are on show also show her in a promiscuous way. Her hair is covering
half of her face which gives a sense of mystery. The high key lighting
shows that her audience is a mainstream audience, as the colours
are bright and intense.
