Technical: This image has been taken in a studio using studio lights to make the image as bright as possible. we can see one light shadow which helps define the model from the background. A very white light for example LED’s would have been used to give the closest possible to true white. The white Balance would have also been adjusted to make sure there were no yellow or blue tones. Despite most of the image being in white it has a high contrast due to the dark areas in the hair. This image was taken on a hight aperture which has made the whole image sharp and in focus.
Visual:
During the studio photo shoot we played with lighting and created portraits with the same concept of light and dark using light - creating the effect of Chiaroscuro. 
I first created a mind map of photographers that interested me and that I thought related to the concept of identity. The manipulation of paper and the way we perceive the photograph was also important when deciding which photographers I would take inspiration from when doing my photo shoots.
I tried to interpret his style by creating images by layering different sections from different cropped photos.
I edited some of the photographs on photo shop and some by cutting the paper and physically sticking on the different angles of the face to experiment which way worked best. I found that the better effect was when i physically stuck on paper on the printed out face as the images edited on photo shop looked too artificial, whereas the stuck on photos looked developed and well experimented.
John Stezaker’s work may, in several respects, be part of the continuity of the collage activities that marked 20th-century art, but they stand out in particular by the way they broach the construction of meaning.
I tried to interpret John Stezakers work by editing photos onto images of my subject. I tried to select images that would make for an interesting photo and tried to connect lines in the attached photo to lines and sections on the original photos. For three of the images i edited my own photographs onto the image and the forth one i used a picture of an postcard I found online to interpret John Stezaker’s work the best i could as he used postcards in his photos, which i think is the most effective out of the four.
