Connecting Essay One

This photograph shows colour through paint dripping down the models face. A variety of different colours have been used to show the contrast between them. Colour has also been added into the photograph through the use of make-up, the model is wearing green eye shadow which links to the colour theme of the background as it is the same green shade. The photograph is a close up image which allows you to see the paint dripping from a closer perspective & makes the photograph more effective as it also shows the colours starting to mix. Slightly shadowy lighting has been used in this photograph to create shadows/darker areas on the models right side of the face. 



This photograph is my own image. I have also used paint in order to incorporate colour into my work. I used liquid tubed paint to create the dripping effect. From my photography you can see that I used soft high key lighting to create no shadows on the models face & to highlight the vibrant colours. I used a variety of different colours to show a variety & contrast in my work. I took the photograph from a close up range to allow the audience to see the patterns the paint is making and the colour mixing. I took the photograph from directly in front of the model as I wanted to show all her features in the photography. 





Overall these photographs connect due to the fact that they both use paint to incorporate colour. In both photographs the paint is shown to be dripping down the face. Another reason why the photograph connect is they are both close up photographs. Also in both photographs the models eyes are closed. The photographs also differ as different lighting has been used, in the first photograph shadows are created where as in my photograph no shadows are shown.
