Changing the Meaning


This photo (left) creates a huge sense of mystery. The dark shadows and averted eyeline suggests that something sinister is going on. This is almost a close-up and shows some details on the person's face. The other photo (right) is a birds eye view shot taken from a balcony. It also creates a certain sense of mystery as it is in black and white and the model is using interesting body language. His arms are folded and his face is showing expressions of surprise and also slight humour. The t-shirt and hair are very dark and if the face and arms had been made slightly lighter (using photoshop) the shot would be using chiaroscuro lighting.

Good I hope you will experiment with these effects in your own work. mw

Like the slide show but as don't use upper case AND underline. One emphasis is enough. mw
