Investigating Mise-en-scene in Portrait Photography
1. Investigating Mise-en-scene
In this image, Wiley stares boldly at the camera suggesting he
has a no-care attitude. His facial expression looks serious and
he looks like a person that should not be messed with. The
background is a mixture of dark grey to light grey, dark grey
starting at the top and getting lighter towards the bottom. He
is wearing a hoodie with the colours black and white. This
blends perfectly with the background. We can see him in a
medium shot towards the right hand side of the picture.
This image captures Fazer looking sharp and shows his
dedication to fashion in the modern age. His cap and pose is
very masculine, and the use of dark clothes can show just how
this genre can be seen in a dark way. We can see a hint of light
coming from the back of his head. He is looking away from the
camera and the light, maybe to show a rebellious look. His
expression looks quite serious and yet again he looks like a
person not to be messed with. We can see a medium shot of
Fazer and this takes up most of the image.
In this image of Chris Brown, the background suggests that he can
have different views about this genre. This is because it is multi
coloured and looks quite effective. His facial expression looks quite
innocent because of his baby face. He is seen wearing a purple and
white hoodie. The use of the purple can show he is, royal and the use
of white can show he is clean and supports the idea that he is
innocent. We can yet again see him in a medium shot and this type of
shot can be seen quite often in this genre. The lighting clearly can be
seen from his hoodie , as well as the background
