fashion, design, photography and literature. Now a days he takes a lot of portrait’s

The name of the photograph I have been studying is cara and rita.was created by Rankin . The
theme of the photograph is Portraiture. The purpose of the photograph is for fashion.
The most important thing in the photograph that the photographer focuses on is
on rita and cara . The photograph was
taken in a studio. I think that the image is posed. Looking closely at
the photograph I can see that the image has been digitally manipulated. The light in the photograph is dark and contrasts with the
light. the photographer has used a slow shutter speed so that they
can focus quickly on the subject. I was attracted to this photograph because of the white background brings the people out. I
like it particularly because I like the how the black outfits and the plain
white background mix, I also like the contract and the bright lighting. The facial
expressions are also interesting.

identity- project focus
I have chosen to do Travel as my independent project.
I chose this because I like the idea of different backgrounds and places, it shows an aspect of someone's life from their view. I chose to put my feet/foot in the pictures because it gives you a challenging angle to take it and the lighting is natural. I also like the fact that its the same foot but in many different backgrounds almost like a green screen,
