Areas for improvement include using natural light and further editing highlights and shadows.
In this powerpoint you will see some of my own photos and the artist that have inspired me , the photos that you see are my own , street photography isnt my stron gpoint but happy with how this turned out
This document summarizes information about three photographers - George Garnier, Miro Arva, and Annie Leibovitz - and how their work could influence the document author's own photography project for a fashion magazine cover.
George Garnier is a London-based photographer who has shot portraits of politicians and works as creative director for a Bulgarian fashion magazine. Miro Arva is also based in London and focuses on fashion and beauty photography. He won a competition to shoot Naomi Campbell. Annie Leibovitz is an American portrait photographer known for her work with celebrities and unique conceptual photos mixing fashion with themes like Disney.
The author notes technical aspects she likes from each photographer, such as shutter speeds
Natalia Pereira is a Spanish photographer and graphic designer whose diverse body of work stands out. The author was drawn to Pereira's work, particularly a photo that distorts a model's face with elastic for a dramatic yet simple effect. Another photo the author likes is an advertising campaign shot featuring sugar skull-inspired makeup with a modern twist. A third photo repeats images to create interesting shapes open to interpretation. Pereira's innovative use of the body and image manipulation provide inspiration for the author's own project.
This document summarizes and compares two photos that were inspired by pop art themes. The first photo by the author captures a model in a 2D, pop art style with bold colors and an off-center composition. The second photo by Kenneth Willardt was taken for a Maybelline campaign, with tight cropping and a spotty effect to resemble pop art. Both photos feature exaggerated poses and expressions enhanced by makeup, minimal bright colors, and lighting that highlights the faces in a way that captures attention and emphasizes the pop art inspiration.
Portrait photography can convey emotion through the subject and their clothing. Experimental techniques like double exposure can change the mood of an image, such as making a sunny field appear gloomy by dressing the model in dark clothing. Landscape photography focuses on nature and lacks human activity. It allows viewers to see places they may never visit in person. Fashion photography is used extensively in advertising and emphasizes a model's look through styling and creative backdrops that relate to the clothing's style. Key factors to consider when taking photos include lighting, aperture, shutter speed, focus, colors, and post-processing techniques.
This summary analyzes the connections between a famous 1960s black and white photo of model Twiggy by photographer Barry Lategan, and the student's own photo. Both photos capture the iconic makeup styles and doll-like expressions popular during the 1960s. They use similar lighting and tight cropping to accentuate the models' features and draw attention to their eyes. The black and white color schemes add raw emotion and evoke the time period. Overall, the student's photo was inspired by Lategan's in reflecting 1960s fashion photography through makeup looks, poses, and compositional techniques.
The document discusses the photography style of German photographer Kai Ziehl. Ziehl is known for his black and white architectural photographs that focus on intricate details of buildings. He uses a wide-angle lens and takes photos from a low angle to emphasize structures. Ziehl also includes a lone person in the distance in his photos to convey a sense of isolation. The document examines two of Ziehl's photos in detail and analyzes his compositional techniques, including his use of light, shadows, and the rule of thirds.
This document is a research log that summarizes the work of various photographers. It discusses the styles and techniques of 18 different photographers, including Paul Strand, Giuseppe Bognanni, McNeney, Harold Edgerton, Ben Mcloed, Vivian Maier, Ben Moore, Daniel Kukla, Adrienne Adam, Paul Scharff, Bruce Montagne, Rob Bishop, Dominick M. Dimacale, Joy Rector, Cathal Mcnaughton, Ron Bigelow, Pete Turner, and Giancarlo Bisone. For each photographer, the log provides a short biography and analysis of 1-2 photos that demonstrate their visual styles and use of formal elements like lines,
Mario Testino is a renowned Peruvian fashion photographer known for his work featuring in magazines like Vogue and Vanity Fair. His career highlight was photographing Princess Diana for Vanity Fair in 1997, leading to regular work with the British royal family. Testino has photographed many celebrities and helped promote designers through his beautiful images that showcase clothing effectively. He has built an impressive reputation in the industry through his professionalism and photography skills.
The document discusses a photographer named Szabolcs Vass and his macro photography work. It summarizes that Vass has a unique style in macro photography and uses specific techniques to make his images stand out. Some of his images are highly edited in Photoshop but still look natural. The document analyzes four of Vass's images in more detail, praising aspects like the colors, contrasts, angles, and level of detail. It concludes that looking at Vass's work has given the author new ideas and insights into using colors, editing, backgrounds, and angles effectively in macro photography.
The document discusses two music photographers, David LaChapelle and Rankin. It provides details on their styles, with LaChapelle known for surreal, sexualized photos using unusual props and exaggerated personalities. Rankin takes simple, up-close portraits where the artist stares at the camera, making them the center of attention. The author likes LaChapelle's colorful, attention-grabbing style and Rankin's ability to connect with audiences through direct eye contact and a sense of innocence in the portraits. They plan to emulate Rankin's simplistic technique of shoulder-up close-ups for their magazine cover photo.

This document discusses the photographer's pastiche research task. It includes summaries of photographers they chose to emulate, including discussions of specific photos. It also documents their own test photo shoots on topics related to mental health, including anxiety, self-harm, suicidal thoughts, and depression. The photographer reflects on the edits they made to the photos and ideas for how to improve future shoots. They created a mock magazine cover focused on anxiety to represent their project. Overall, the document shows the photographer's process in researching photographers, planning test shoots on mental health topics, and editing the photos from those shoots as they work to complete the pastiche research task.
The document provides feedback on multiple photos from a photo shoot. For one photo, the reviewer likes the use of color in the background and how the model is posed energetically. They note the effective spread of patterns and clear depiction of the color and pattern theme. They also praise the lighting and how it allows the model, clothes, and background to be seen clearly.
The document discusses the selection and rejection of six images for a magazine. Image 4 and Image 5 are selected because they use natural lighting effectively and depict the artists in a natural, personal manner suggesting openness. Image 6 is also selected as it attracts attention by having the artist look at the camera while using bright colors appropriate for the indie genre in a woodland setting.
Photography is a passion of mine and I would like to pursue it further. I have two years experience in photography college where I learned various techniques like street, architecture, and portraiture photography. I enjoyed working in the darkroom developing photos. I am skilled with camera settings, studio lighting, and Photoshop. This course would help expand my skills and understanding of photography and editing. In the future, I am interested in event, portraiture, commercial, or medical photography or pursuing university/apprenticeships.

Photography and photographic practice evaluationOliviaBolt
The document provides an analysis of a photography project focused on fashion photography with a vintage aesthetic. The photographer took 8 images of a model at an historic hall known for hauntings. They used warm tones, blurred some images, and shot in locations associated with the hall's ghost story. Feedback was positive and noted the cohesive ghostly theme and sharp focus. The photographer learned skills like aperture control and developed a creative style influenced by famous photographers like Nick Knight. Overall the project helped the photographer gain technical and creative photography skills while achieving their goal of conveying a vintage, ghostly aesthetic.
This document provides reviews of 5 photos from a fashion photo shoot with a natural theme. Each photo is reviewed in 1-2 paragraphs. The reviews note what elements work well in each photo, such as the model's expression, the colors contrasting well, and how the outfits are displayed. However, some photos are said to not fully showcase the outfits or have distracting urban elements in the background. Cropping is suggested to improve some of the shots.
The student was very pleased with their unit 4 project, feeling it was their best work out of the 4 units completed that year. They developed a recognizable style and felt more confident experimenting. While some problems occurred, the student was interested and engaged with the subject. They learned photography skills like composition, lighting and posing. Their work looked more professional compared to past projects. The student enjoyed creating characters and representing the human figure through photos like an Avatar portrait and one depicting internal organs externally. They were proud of innovating and trying new ideas. The student felt organized during their 15-hour exam and inspired by shooting different concepts quickly. Overall, the project pushed the student and they were most proud of this unit, feeling it developed
The document discusses various photographs that represent the human figure in creative and unconventional ways. Some photos use makeup, props, or photo editing to distort or modify the human form. Others represent the figure through analogies to animals, objects, or cultural symbols. The photos explore new perspectives on the human body and push the boundaries of traditional representation.
This document contains 10 additional photos from an art project titled "Final Pieces" by Kate-Anna Smith. The photos depict subjects including a skeleton, technology, Avatar, animals, Native American culture, a doll face, mannequin, and distorted images.
This document analyzes and compares two photos by Tanya M Ross that depict Native American themes. The first photo features a model with an elaborate headdress in a sterile background, accentuating her lines and expression. Though beautiful, the headdress does not overshadow the model. The second photo also features a strong-posed model making eye contact, with harmonious neutral colors giving it a sensual feel. Both photos effectively keep the models as the focal point despite striking headdresses. The photos similarly use color and texture contrasts to accentuate the models and outfits within a Native American theme.
This photo by Rankin depicts a doll's head being held in a human hand. The tight cropping focuses on the model's facial features, which have been made to look like a doll through makeup and editing. The eyes stand out as enlarged and vacant, capturing the viewer's attention and creating a creepy, doll-like illusion. Bright orange hair frames the top of the shot and contrasts with the pastel pink background. Both this photo and the student's own work aim to represent the human figure as a doll through exaggerated features and a darker conceptual element.
This document summarizes and compares two photos from a photography project depicting the human figure through painted skeleton makeup. The first photo is the author's, highlighting how the lighting accentuates the white skeleton parts against the black background. Everything is simple, allowing the intricate makeup to be the focal point. The second photo by Pauline Darley is also in black and white, adding emotional depth and contrast. Both photos keep sterile backgrounds to focus on the models and their intense, expressive eyes providing strong emotion for viewers.
The document discusses the author's choice to represent the human figure for their unit four project. They enjoyed exploring makeup and fantasy looks in their previous unit three personal project. They felt the topic of representation of the human figure would allow them to expand on their previous work while also incorporating elements of other potential topics like fantasy and photo essays. The author also intends to challenge themselves to incorporate more editing techniques while maintaining their preference for a more raw photographic style. Overall, they feel confident that this topic will provide a good starting point and maintain their interest without being stuck for ideas.
The document discusses representation in photography through examples of photos that represent the human body in unconventional ways. It analyzes four photos: one that depicts bodies arranged to resemble a skull, another that uses bodies to represent a landscape, one resembling a statue with blood-like cracks on the skin, and a final one with a blurred hand across the face giving the illusion of seeing the subject's skull. The analyses praise the creative representations of the human body, effective uses of lighting, composition, and other technical elements in capturing the intended meanings in visually interesting ways.
This document discusses the author's choice to do a photography project on makeup and beauty. The author feels this topic interests them and will allow them to be creative. Makeup and beauty are prevalent in society today due to their influence in media. Photographers have used techniques like Photoshop to create idealized images. Makeup is also used in theater, films, and other performances to create special effects. The author discusses different photographic styles they could use like portraits, full-body shots, and on-location photography. The history of photography and how makeup photography has evolved is also reviewed. Two contemporary makeup photographers, Becky Van Ommen and Akos, are discussed as examples.
This document appears to be a list of pieces submitted for a final exam. It includes the names "Kate-Anna Smith" and pieces titled "Dead", "ChinaGirl", and "Fawn/Bambi" each listed three times, as well as "NativeAmerican" listed three times.
The document summarizes and compares two photos that incorporate balloons in creative ways. The first photo by Rovenko features a model floating above a town with balloons, using a created background. Brightly colored balloons are the focal point. The second photo by the author uses a clean white studio backdrop, ensuring the model and balloons stand out without distraction. Both photos use balloons and energetic expressions to convey fun, and similar lighting captures the balloons' textures. However, Rovenko's background causes the model to blend more, while the author's isolated setting keeps the model defined.
Ryan Connors photographed a makeup look featuring feathers, focusing on the eyes and face while blurring out the rest to make the eyes the focal point. A consistent color scheme was used throughout. The model's expression is mysterious and her eyes are captivating as she connects with the camera. The sterile background prevents distraction from the subject.
The author's own photo also featured a feathered makeup look focused around the eyes to make them the focal point. All colors work harmoniously without distraction from the sterile background. The model's expression seems mysterious and enchanting as her eyes connect with the camera. Gems and glittery nail polish add nice elements that catch the light. Both photos capture the bird theme through makeup and have
This document summarizes and compares two photos - one by Pauline Darley and the other by the author. Both photos feature dramatic makeup looks combining glamorous and skeletal elements. Simple, sterile backgrounds allow the subjects to stand out without distractions. Harmonious color palettes and upward camera angles make the subjects appear powerful despite hints of beauty. The photos provocatively blend life and death themes, controversially associating glamour with mortality. Connections between the photos include their themes, backgrounds, colors, and styled hair minimizing distractions from the striking makeup looks.
Martin Higgs photographed a model with an elaborate leopard-inspired makeup look covering her entire face against a dark background. The photo emphasizes the makeup and facial features through lighting and angle. The author also photographed a model with leopard eyeshadow and coral lipgloss on a dark background. Both photos feature tight cropping and lighting to draw attention to the makeup looks, representing a young, independent woman with wild characteristics through the leopard theme makeup. There are visual connections between the photos in their overall feel, use of dark backgrounds, and focus on complex makeup looks to portray similar concepts.
The student enjoyed learning sequencing techniques, which allowed for creative expression within limited resources. Shooting at a park, the student found multiple subjects and created unplanned, spontaneous sequences. One example used classmates to create a four photo sequence where the focus shifts with each slight change between photos, allowing the audience to examine different sections in detail. The student had fun shooting and wants to try more sequencing projects.
The document discusses depth of field techniques in photography. There are two types - maximum depth of field, where everything is in focus, and minimum depth of field, where only the foreground is in focus. The author enjoys both effects but thinks maximum depth of field requires a strong image or idea to avoid looking like a regular photo. An example is provided showing maximum depth of field lacking a clear message, while minimum depth of field allows a focus on the foreground. The author found minimum depth of field harder to achieve but wants to use it for portraiture to focus on faces, or maximum depth of field for surreal shots if a focal point is carefully considered.

Alexander Khokhlov
http://alexanderkhokh
lov.com/
Crawford is a photographer grew up in Africa
and Malaysia. His career has lead him to work
for some of the world’s top brands in beauty
and cosmetics. He is renounced for “strong
graphic and textural quality, often searching
out the graphical symmetry in chaos”. I
particularly like this shot that Crawford took as
part of a collection of different shoots that his
conducted like this. I like the chaos in the
photo and how the makeup is seen ‘splattered’
everywhere on the, yet it’s toned down with
sterile background. This in turn has also
allowed the makeup to stand out more. I like
the way the model has not been lost in the
photo either as her eyes, though not making
contact with the camera, can still be seen in
the shot in amongst everything else.
Ruth Rose is an international fashion, lingerie
and beauty photographer from London. Her
work is very varied - this is one of many shots
that I liked. I like the ‘messy’ element that this
shot has as well as the contrast in colour with
the lipstick and eyeshadow – this
hasaccentuated them and made them stand
out in the dark colours of the photo. The
water in the photo also makes it more
interesting as it reflects the light and adds
elements of texture. There is a lot of different
textures present in this photo e.g. the hair, the
matte lipstick and the water – I like the
element of contrast that this has brought to
the photo.
Alexander Khokhlov is a Russian photography
whose work I admire at lot – namely his ‘weird
beauty’ series. He is a fashion and beauty
photography, and this is a shot from the ‘weird
beauty’ series. This is a series of work I like for
a number of reasons. Everything is black and
white and this is something that I find very
striking about the photos and adds a high level
of contrast in terms of colour too. I
particularly like the pattern used here with the
makeup as it has added weird angels on the
models face, and also has highlighted the eyes,
giving more of a focal point, with the way in
which the makeup draws out from them.The
emotion has still been brought out in the
models eyes and has not been lost in the
makeup - this is something that I will
continuously want to achieve in my own work.

Kutlu Photography
http://www.kutlu.com

Claire Harrison is an international
photographer based in London working with
some of the most prestige clients today. I
really like this photo that is part of one her
beauty portfolios. I love the cool and unique
vibe that the photo has – all of Harrisons work
has a contemporary feel about that I would
like to bring across in my own work. Two
photos here have been transposed together
and this has worked really effectively. The
model in the head on shot is making eye
contact with the camera and therefore the
focal point in the image has not been lost, yet
there is so much more emotion present in the
photo where the model is seen looking off in
the distance in the other shot. I really like how
the rest of the photo is sterile and how the
vibrant lip colour stands out in amongst
everything else in the photo.
Kutlu is a Turkish photographer that is known
for his striking beauty shots. He now divides
his time between Paris and New York and has
worked with an array of famous clients. This i
one shot from his work that particularly caught
my attention. I like the controversial message
and the angle that he has taken with his work
here and the way he has used makeup as
something bad and ‘ugly’ by using the match
as the eyeliner. I love simplicity of the shot as
this has allowed the focus to remain on the
message in the shot. The models eye here are
not making contact with the camera here but
the communication in the shot is still here as it
is so strong. There isn’t a lot of colour used in
the shot, and instead Kutlu has used similar

colours of different textures to accentuate and
highlight certain parts of the shot e.g. the nails.
“The characters portrayed in Amber Gray’s
work inhabit a world more colourful, dramatic,
and whimsical than our own.” Gray’s work is
something that really caught my eye as she
such a unique style and approach in her work.
Known for working with strong, beautiful
women Gray’s work really brings out fun and
personality. In this particular shot I loved the
expression of the models and how they have
remained so present in the photo without any
eye contact with the camera. The colours used
on the makeup have really made a statement
and I like how the lightening used has accented
this. The lightening has also made the angles
on the faces really strong and sharp - I love
the definition this has created.
Danielle L. K (known as ‘Anathema’) is well
known horror photographer from Canada – I
am a huge fan of her work. Though typically
the focus her work is something surreal
brought across with a controversial message,
her work uses a lot of makeup in different
ways to help her create the characters that she
does. I love the precision and perfection the
characters in her work have in terms of
aesthetics. Her work has inspired me to do
more with horror and SFX makeup. I really
liked this shot for numerous reasons. I like
sterile background and lightening used – the
shadow cast is something that I wouldn’t
normally like but I think it works here. I also
like the unusual pose of the model and the
presences she has in the photo without looking
at the camera.
Yulia Gorbachenko is a photographer based in
New York. This shot is one that particularly
caught my attention due to the vibrant colour.
The model has been painted to look like part of
the background but the clash in texture has
allowed her to remain present in the photo
and the expression on her face has created
emotion. The colour in the shot really is the
focal point though. I like the way
embellishmentshave been added on the face
as well. The angle at which the photo is taken
is else that I really like; I feel it really
compliments themodels features.
Adams is a fashion and beauty photographer
4. ams.com/
from New York city. His work has a very
unique style as he likes to work with different
elements, such as water, seen here is this
photo. I love the high-fashion edge his work
has as well as the editorial vibe. I like the
water in this shot as it really compliments the
beauty element in the shot. I think it’s really
effective how the light has reflected on it and
the texture it has created. I like the way the
model is half submerged in the water here and
the angle at which the photo is taken. The
clash in colour in the shot is something
interesting too. Because everything in the shot
is predominately blue, the red on the eyes and
lips has made them stand out, also creating a
focal point.
JayeshPankhania
http://www.jayeshpan
khania.com/main/
This is a shot I found that immediately caught
my attention. JayeshPankhania’s work is
something very different. A lot of his work is
commercial for various different beauty
brands. This one shot that really stood out for
me is because of the focus that has been
drawn to one feature on the face as oppose to
the whole face that is seen in so many beauty
shots today. I love how the lips have been
‘erased’ out with the background and they can
only be seen where the pink paint has been
put on the lips or where the teeth are. I liked
the detail that has been captured in this photo.
Viktoria Stutz
http://www.viktoriastu
tz.com/
Viktoria Stutz is a beauty, cosmetic and hair
photographer based in Germany. Her work is
very contemporary and in some parts, like this
shot I found, unusual. A lot of Stutz work is
profile based and also uses a lot of close ups to
really show up the makeup. I found this photo
really interesting from her ‘universe’ series of
work. I like the shape used and the angles.
The model isn’t making eye contact with the
camera but this works as all the focus is
brought to the mouth area where the makeup
is.
5. Jamie Nelson
http://www.jamienels
on.com/
Nelson is New York based fashion and beauty
photographer. I am really interested in his
work as it is contemporary and fresh, and at
times controversial. I really liked this shot due
to the vibrant colour that has been captured
and the way all the colours contrast yet
compliment each other to stand out more.
The eyes are not making contact with the
camera here, but due to the expression of the
model the focal point is not lost. I love the
angle at which the photo has been taken as Is
has accentuated the angles of the subject’s
face, something that I like to do in my own
work. The shirt is something else that has
caught my attention in this shot too as it the
light hitting it has really made the emphasised
the texture. This according contrasts with
other textures on the photo such as the skin
and lipstick.
Jenny Brough
http://www.jennybrou
gh.co.uk/
Jenny Brough is a photographer based in
London. All of her work is very clean and
sophisticated, like the example I have found.
She does a lot commercial and advertising
work for top brands and magazines. I really
love the simplicity of this shot that I found and
the way everything in the photo such as the
background has been kept sterile. The photo
is free from lots of contrasting colours and
instead harmonious colours have been used
through out. The texture and look of the
models skin is flawless – this is something
important when shooting advertising/
commercial makeup photography. Something
that really caught my attention though is the
doll like expression of the model and how she
is holding herself up. I think it’s very trance
like to at and the eyes are very captivating
because of this. The hair in the photo is the
only messy element about it and this balances
nicely with everything else in the photo being
so neat and precise.
Sebastian Paszek
http://www.sebastian
paszek.com/
Sebastian Paszek is a Polish photographer that
specialises in advertising photography for
fashion and beauty. His work caught my
attention initially as he likes to play with light
and shadows in his work, this adds a lot of
diverse an intense elements, just like in the
example I have found. The model here is
behind all the light and shadows, yet is has
6. been used in way so that she doesn’t get lost.
There are added light spots that have also
been used and other effects – this has inspired
me to look at what I can do with Photoshop
effects.
Stephen Eastwood
Oleg Dou
http://stepheneastwo

http://olegdou.com/
Eastwood is another photographer based in
New York. He focuses on mainly portrait work
within contemporary beauty photography. I
love this photo that I found from his work. The
expression of the model here is very intense
and captures the eye immediately, even with
her lack of eye contact with the camera. The
way she has used her hands here too is
something that has helped to accentuate the
angles on her face and created sharper lines
within the photo. Texture is the other very
predominate element in this photo with the
blue metallic skin and the feathers in the hair –
contrast has been created. This photo is very
inspiring to look photographing contemporary
cosmetic-art looks.
Oleg Dou is a very intriguing
photographer whose work really
caught my attention. I love his
unique style and interesting
compositions. This photo that I was
particularly attracted too I find quite
haunting and creepy. I believe this
photo is from a series where Dou
looked at working with mannequins
as well as working with children, and
combiningthe two together he
created photographs like this. I found
this photo very inspiring on looking at
using different cosmetic manipulation
on programmes such as Photoshop,
as this is something that I haven’t
considered doing yet in my own
personal project.

http://www.evamueller.com/
Robert Emmertt
http://www.robertemmett.co.uk/
Rankin
http://rankin.co.uk/home/
Mueller is a Bavarian photographer
that specialises in fashion, beauty and
music - her work also consists of a lot
of fine art. Given this, all her work is
very refined and ‘perfect’. As you can
see in this photo here, beauty has
been captured with a stereotypical
idea of beauty. I like the contrast you
can see here on the skin. Something
that really caught my attention with
this image though is the use of the
lightening. I like how half the face
has been shadowed and half is
highlighted – this has really
accentuated the angles on the face
and accentuated the facial features.
The eyes are really captivating in this
photo too. This has been
accentuated with the light as well as
the use of the makeup. I really enjoy
looking at Mueller’s work.
Robert Emmertt describes his photos
as being “an interesting moment in
time, a possible piece of art...” His
work certainly is interesting – this one
photo in particular really caught my
interest. I love how the subject has
been made to fade away with the
background. I think this has made the
photo an item of beauty photography
that really stands out. I love the use
of lightening here
This is a photographer from the UK
that I came across and absolutely
love! This photo in particular is
something that really caught my
attention as it is so unique and has
such a haunting feel about it that
draws you in. The lighting in the shot
has allowed for texture contras to be
seen more clearly against the matte
black painted skin and the fresh shiny
paint pour over it. This is an
important element for this photo as
everything in it is black; hence texture
has been used to differentiate
between the different features. I
think this is a very contemporary
piece of work that is something I
would like to try out myself. There is

cropping/framing of the photo has
been done, the eye is still drawn to
the subject.
This is a photographer based in New
York who specialises in beauty and
fashion. I absolutely love her work!
This particular photo caught my
attention due to the unique lighting
of the shot and how this has created
beautiful lines and angles on the
models face, accentuating her
features. I like the natural elements
of the shot with the skin being kept
quiet clean and the eyes nice and
bright, and how this contrasts with
the dark matte lips. The expression
of the model is mysterious and this
meant that that the photo has a
interesting and enticing feel about it –
this has been highlighted with the
connection the model has with the
camera and how her eyes have
become the focal point within the
photo.
