Week 12:best images analysis

This photoshoot is the last for my project, it has also been my favourite to shoot. I wanted to get an older woman to diversify the range of females photo shoots i have been completing. This model was very confident and listened to my guidance. I think her images came with the most range and i think a lot of them are useful for possible final images. 

Unfortunately, this image is upside down and i can not rotate it. However, was strikes me most is the eye contact that the subject makes with the spectator. I like the mistiness of the liquid slowly consuming the subjects body. The subject is also covering herself with her arms which suggests she is trying to hide herself while submerging under the water. It is almost as if she is about the turn and plunge deep into the unknown opaque liquid.

I really like the positioning of the image, however it is a shame that my body was caught in the frame- too much to crop the image as it would lessen the effect if i cropped out the models legs in my opinion. I like the effect the model gives as she tries to reach herself out of the bath. I especially love the dispersing of the models hair as it looks quite whimsical and dreamy while floating in the white liquid. I think it is expectional that i was able to capture the model's natural body as it goes against media's stereotypical values of what a body should look like. Male or female i think this image is diverse and allows us to understand that everyone falls under surrender of media's control over how we perceive ourselves.

In my opinion, i think this image is by far one of the strongest out of any of the shoots i have completed. The hair is the most striking quality, almost creating a mane- this could be symbolic of how once under the surface, we can alter and change the way we look in order to fit with who we aspire to be. The models eyes are closed and her expression, although blank, connotes a sense of entitlement and comfortableness with where she is. I may enhance the shadows with the dodge and burn tool and try to make the milky liquid whiter to create contrast and enhance the yellow tones in the hair.
