Possible photos For mock exam – Self Portraits

 

 

* Denotation – What is literally in the image

In the image above I have got the girl position on a chair facing towards the camera, the person is wearing a tiara, glasses and earrings.

* Connotation – The meaning, what is implied/suggested by the photo

 

* Studium – What we know about the photograph based on our own knowledge of the context

i know that it is taken in a studio

 

* Punctum – meaning that pierces/pushes you personally – initial emotional reaction (not every photo has a punctum)

On this picture i have used a filter called oil paint where it makes the picture look like as if it has been painted on, Also it can be seen as it it is on a piece of crumbled paper. I like this as it could resemble a lack or loss of identity.
