Final piece Portrait

Hello fellow internet users.

Life shall move on

when analysing the visual and technical visions of the photograph 'Life shall move on' the formal elements such as the focus of the picture shows sharpness in the figure holding the rose, this is so that the character looks as if they are not trapped within the background of the picture causing a clash effect so that it's as if they are jumping out at you, this is done by the bold black colours which are used that are played against a blurred effect which is used on the memorial causing the fence and the trees look as if they are rotating whilst the character is stood still. 

The highlights which are shown within this photograph are shown on the face of the character, you can mostly see the light reflect on the nose and the right side of the face this shows that the light which is used is natural and has been taken during the daytime as it is placed outside a momoral gate, it is a very harsh sun light causing such brightness on the face. When analysing this picture the shadows which are shown are in the eyes of the model, mostly seen in the left side of his face. When looking towards the models chin the shadow is shown under the left side of his face. This shows that the light is coming from the top right hand side of the character.

The lining which is being shown within the background of the picture are straight lines causing the pattern on the shirt of the model to repell. There are many different linings within this photography for example the pattern which is shown in the fence of the memorial are curved. When using the blurred effect on Photoshop this gives off the impression that the whole world is moving as the lining on the models shirt stays still. There is a repetition that has been used in the background of this photograph of the fencing as in every bar of the fencing has the sames lining and curves this has created a pattern within the picture.

The target audience for this the photograph 'Life shall move on' would be to aim to purpose the hopelessly romantic audience. The way how this particular photograph has been aimed towards this form of audience is by the way how when you look into the models eyes will will feel as if you have looked into the dark mysterious ways using a red rose to catch the hearts of the audience.

Mystery behind the wall

When analysing the visual elements of the photograph 'Mistry behind the wall' as this is a portrait piece the main focus of this photograph would be the the face as it is the sharpest part of the picture, this is to show the audience the depth of emotion that this model is feeling as in the photograph the model is lost within a different world 'Behind the wall' trying to find his way out. Before the print of this photograph the eyes of the model was darkened so that it's audience would feel as if they were being pulled in. 

The showdown which are being shown in this picture would be behind the model as the lighting is coming from the left hand side of his face, the lighting which is shown is a natural soft light which is not directly placed onto the models face as it is a reflection from the sun. 

Within this image the dominant lining which is being shown would be the brick work of the wall that is behind the model. The lining of the brick work is curved as they look as if they are coming out of the wall from the side creating a three dimensional effect. The lining of the walls show that the model is stood still with no movement as they are flat and sharp. This is a repetition throughout this photograph as the model is also wearing a checkered shirt creating a squared illusion as he lies against the wall. 

The composition of the photograph shows the rules of third as the eyes of the model slightly under the the top line of the third of the picture with the nose perfectly inline with the left hand side of the third of the picture create an even effect which is being shown making it easier for it's audience to understand and visualise.

When analysing the photograph 'Mystery behind the wall' I would say that this particular photograph aims to the young generation audience as most people that would appreciate this photograph would be teenage girls who are interested in attractive young lads as teenage boys will looks at this photograph and would want to look like him. You would find this type of photograph in the a platform such as a fashion magazine as the models shows a lifestyle which people would like to live.

Love your soul

When analysing the formal elements of a portrait such as the visual effects and the main focal point within the photograph the audience would be able to acknowledge that the rose which has been placed in the models hand would give of the most sharpest effect in the picture as it gives of a brighter and warmer effect from the rest of the photograph as the main colours which have been used within the picture are different shades of blue which could signify sadness and hurt.

The lighting behind the model is very bright as if the further you go the deeper you become to a light hole which could signify the name of this particular piece which is 'Love your soul, as the whiteness is the soul that the audience is looking upon. The lighting which has been used in this picture would be natural lighting with a high exposure which has been used when taking the photograph. As you look at the models face you will see that the light is coming from the right hand side creating a shadow on the left hand side as he looks down towards the floor.

The most dominant lining within this particular photograph would be the stairs which the model is sat on. These lines are horizontal which every other line around the stairs such as the shirt that the model is wearing they are going vertical. These lines which are being shown in this picture are very straight and sharp cutting, they could also be seen as rough looking, this creates a repetition of a rectangle look towards the photograph.

I would say that the target audience for this particular photograph would be single young ladies which are into romance as they would love at the model and hope or their future boyfriend to be as romantic and treat them with the flower of love. You find see this type of photograph to be on a build board in a city centre to advertise a merchandise such as clothing or even a males aftershave. This cause male to buy the product because they will want to be just like the model.
