Here are five photographs I like best among those I have taken. I chose these images as the best ones because I like the use of the mask and pieces of the mirror, and show fragility in beauty, which is my theme. I took many pictures and changed the colours of the lights a lot to find a suitable theme. After changing the colours of the light multiple times, I decided that red was the only one that fit the theme quite well, including my model’s outfit, the props we used for the shoot, and pieces of a mirror. There is also reflection shown in the eyes and the pieces of the mirror, supported by the lighting in the studio, which I think is quite interesting. For my final photographs, I did not do black and white pictures because I thought if I did black and white photos, then I would not show much detail and the shades of red in the reflections of the mirror. However, my photographs still relate to my chosen photographer, Horst P. Horst, because my images include lighting on different angles of my model, showing different shades of red on both my model’s face and in the mirror’s reflection. The facial expression on my model’s face is neutral to show delicateness and fragility.
Amongst these five photographs, my favourite photo is the second photo because I think this picture clearly shows reflection in the pieces of the mirror on their face, and the fact that their eyes looks straight gives the audience a feeling of depression and a neutral feeling. At first, the picture was taken of the whole face of my model, but I cropped it to make the audience focus on the reflections of the mirror.
