Connecting essay three

 This photograph shows Christmas shaped ginger bread hanging down against a wooden background. The composition of the photo is really nice as the ginger bread is spread equally across the board. The white icing on the biscuits makes the outline of them stand out against the background as they are a similar colour. The lighting in this photograph is quite dull however this could be to illustrate the fact that this photograph is taken at christmas time when the lighting is not as bright as its winter. This is a generally attractive photograph and this is most likely because this photo is to advertise a product or to illustrate a recipe book so an attractive photo makes the audience buy or make this product. Each of the items made out of ginger bread could be used to tell a christmas themed story however the photographer has chosen to leave this up to the audience themselves.

My photo shows a tower of ginger bread biscuits against a blue background with white fake snow. I created a scene as ginger bread are actually supposed to be people. I chose to add the moon as this gives the photo cosy feel and the smiling faces of the ginger bread means that its a positive photograph. The composition of the ginger bread is central however takes up a large area of the photo and is the main focal point. I like to think that this photo gives a feel of unison that is often felt around christmas as the ginger men have been put together to create a christmas tree.

These two photographs connect because they are both christmas themed photographs of gingerbread biscuits. The composition of both photographs is spread so that it takes up a large amount of the background. The lighting in both photographs is quite dull but with the intention of portraying the whether of winter. Both photographs could be used to tell a story however leave this up to the audience as it means that they can fully conned with the photographs.
