I came across this photograph on the internet whilst i was searching for an inspirational photography artist. I was immediantly captured by it and have been throughout my project. It has a certain presence about it. I have been unable to trace the photographer of this photograph however i belive that it may have been taken for a fashion shoot, but i cannot be certain. The main attraction to this photograph is its sepia colour. This adds age to the photograph and makes it seem vintage. The model is beautiful an petite. The dress that she wears is vintage inspired and the high neck elongates her figure. The mirror in this photograph is fitting for this project. I love the emptyness of the room with only the model and mirror in it.
This photograph provokes questions which cannot be answered. The viewer is unsure of who the model is, why she is wearing that dress or why the photograph is even being taken at all.
This imagee has formed my main inspiratiion for my final piece photographs along with inspiration from Tom Hussey. I aim to take photographs of a model wearing my mothers wedding dress, with the reflection of the dress being shown in the mirror. This therefore adds a very peronal message to the photographs that this photograph lacks. From the photographs that i aim to take, i can then draw from them in the style of other artists that i have researched.
