My Final Image^ Character in Comparison^
Throughout my work on this Tableau topic my aim was to imitate these Tableaux figurines in order to match my chosen artist, Yinka Shonibare, I think that through my photos and edits I have successfully achieved my aim as I think there are clear links between my image and Shonibare’s works. I have tried to incorporate the colourful clothing‘s with different patterned clothes and long pieces of material which I wrapped around my models. I also tried to incorporate any similar props that I could find in the images and try and keep my model holding them in a similar way. The main similarity I tried to incorporate, was my models body language and their expressions, I wanted to try and create what I thought the Tableaux figurines facial expression would be if they had a head instead of a globe. In this photo for example, I tried to create a proud a powerful sense in the model through her facial expression as the fact that shes looking up shows her power and authority
I cleaned up the background in the image in order to keep the focus onto the model and not on the background which I think helped create a cleaner and crisper image. The eye is successfully lead to the bold red patterned clothes and then on top my models facial expressions which is what I wanted as these were my main aims. Once again visually the patterned clothing are the main attention of the image which is striking. Overall I quite like my final outcome for Tableau as I think I have successfully matched my artists work and Incorporated there main techniques. With the image itself I loved my models body language and confinement of my image I am also again really happy with the colours of the image.
