Life After Lockdown

Final Photo
  I chose this photo as my final photo because, It shows someone looking into the mirror and seeing their reflection but with a mask on, due to the global pandemic. It shows how serious the issue is, as the mask hides all facial expressions, even though you know the she is smiling. I chose this photo as I feel like everyone can relate to it as we all had to wear a mask at some point during this pandemic.
 
          How does it link to John Stezaker? Well I took his concept of adding two images and merging them into one, and adapted it to my style. Instead of a split in the middle I took a price of one photo and put it one another similar photo.
 
          The choice of the green light in the background draws attention the the face of the woman, because the colour contrasts to the subject in the foreground.
 
          The rule of three comes in play since the subject isn’t in the centre of the image, and instead on the first and third line.
 
          Framing is obvious as the reflection is in the mirror, as well as on the right. It was difficult to find an angle where I could get the reflection and the subject, without getting myself in the reflection.
