In the photo, there is a man rock climbing down a woman's zoomed in face with a long cable. He is climbing right next to her eyebrows. The scale between the man and the woman's face is very large. I believe that the man is scaling/fixing a billboard. I believe this because the woman's face doesn't look like it has enough depth compared to the climber. Because he is on a long cable and the woman's face doesn't have a lot of depth, it makes it appear as a person is simply climbing a blown up photo of a woman. I think it is both a "documentary" and an abstract image. The quality of the photo shows a more creative and abstract visual. For some parts of the picture, i think it was photoshopped to make the woman's face less "airbrushed". The meaning behind this photo, in my opinion, is 'perspective' and how you actually view the world in your own eyes. The intent was to fool the person's eye/mind and make them believe they are see...
1. I think her fear is being alone. This is shown by the darkness around her and the feeling of isolation the photo gives.
ReplyDelete2. I feel it was successful. The fade of darkness really gives the photo that feeling of isolation. Well done!
3. I would recommend not taking it where you can see the white edging to the walls. It distracts from the photo.
