Location Portraiture - Image Bank

In this image the woman has a slight smile on her face, which makes the viewer question what she is smiling about. The rain which slightly blurs her face creates a mystery within the image as you cannot see her whole face clearly, due to the angle her head is placed. I like the washed out, dull colours in the image, due to them working well together. 

This image makes the viewer again ask questions as to why the man is holding an image of a boy, and a man. It could be argued the man in the image is his dad, and the boy is him, as he looks proud to be holding the image, in the same yellow jacket the man is wearing in the image. I believe the boy carried on his fathers fishing lifestyle, and is prude to be doing so, as he holds the other image; this is supported again by the fact he is standing on a beach. The bright yellow contrasts the blue backdrop which makes the man stand out.

This is an extremely bright image with the girls ginger hair, and the yellow undergrowth which is blurred in the background. I like this image as you can clearly focus on the subject, with the background being blurred. The girl is also wearing bright clothes, in which the colours don't really work well together, however it makes the image more interesting as a whole. 

In this image the young boy looks innocent as he stands in the woods. A vignette appears to have been applied to this image after it was taken, due to the edges of the image being darker, with it getting lighter the closer you get to the centre of the image. 

The two children are in focus with the background blurred, this is an extremely innocent photograph as no one else is around but these two children, who are sharing a kiss. The red and black work well together, with the leopard print jumping out on the girls shirt. The background is dull in comparison to the children's clothing, which allows them to jump out of the image.

This image is interesting as the female who is evidently a ballet dancer is starching in an urban environment, when you would usually expect her to be in a dance studio; the graffiti on the walls highlights the contrast even more, and it makes the viewer question as to why she is there? Moreover, the bright pink ballet outfit jumps out against the dull blacks, and browns of the background; the girl appears innocent, and clean whilst her environment appears corrupted and rundown.
