Connecting essay five

 This photographer uses a brunette model who appears to be in a slightly retro style of dress and hair who is featured eating candy floss. The background is soft baby colours which blend in with the girls dress and the candy floss however her nails clash with this theme as they are almost neon colours. The models slightly open mouth is intended to be slightly attractive and enticing to the audience and by having the candy floss just before it touches her young it gives the audience that feeling of mouth watering because its not reached her mouth. The lipstick work by the model is quite pink and noticeable and draws the eye of the audience directly here. The model is placed centrally with the candy floss to the side making her the main focal point.

In my photograph I chose to have Helena slightly turned and in the last third of the photograph so that the apple is almost central and the main focal point. I chose to have a bright pink background which clashes with the colour of the apple and makes it really stand out. I have chosen to use the mouth to entice the audience as by stopping it just before she takes a bite gives the audience this feeling of anticipation.



These two photographs connect due to the use of a brunette female model to show the product. Both of the models look directly into the camera which makes a connection with the audience. Both photographs also use the mouth to create anticipation for the audience. The mouth is also an area of the body which is found appealing and makes the photographs have a sort of sexual appeal. This is shown more in the professional photo as my photograph seems to have a more comedic feel to it. Lastly these photographs also have a slightly retro feel to them due to make up and costume. One of the main differences between these photographs is the costume used and background. In my photograph the background is plain pink and the clothes can not be seen but are fairly plain, this was to allow the audience to focus entirely on the food in the photograph. In the professional photograph the dress and background are baby colours and fit in with the cant floss to link the photo together as a whole.
