analysing images: Perou-



This image is really interesting- its showing very little background and concentrating on the womans face. Its showing how it magnifies the face and exaggerates her facial expression in detail, emphasising the model's emotional state.The fact that the woman is the main subject of the photograph and is very close up suggests that Perou wants the viewer to be drawn into the womans personal space and share her feelings. This close up conveys more power than if the lady was further away into the background. Overall the sizing of the shot is intimate, and the angle is central which indicates that the lady is on the same level as us..perou has decided not to take the image from a high angle as he intentionally wants the lady to be the only significant object in the photo. The image is a fairly neutral shot as you can see it's based on eye level. Although the photo is in black and white, the lighting is varied and a slightly different shade- this makes the image come together well. The shiny glow around the woman breaks up the image a little bit, as her dark hair contrasts well and is separated against this bright white glare. The surrounding is a light grey-ish colour, which then again contrasts well against the dark hair and the white glowed area.
