Image bank - Myth idea

I like this photo because the lighting creates a dark feeling for the photo. Because the lighting is dark it is not entirely clear what the photo is showing and creates a sort of mystery, allowing the audience to come up with their own interpretation. As the character is lying in the woods this creates questions for the audience as to why he is there, where and who is he.
This photograph is telling the story of the myth of Robin Hood. I like this photograph because instead of using a man as Robin they have used a woman and as the story is a myth there is no actual proof that he was man or woman or even existed. I also like that as well as telling part of the story the photo maintains very attractive and uses a natural background.


As this photo is black and white and doesn't really show any modern objects other than the train tracks it suggests that the photo is supposed to come across as old. As this photo lacks much explanation this allows the audience to come up with there own story from what they can see. This is generally how myths are spread and changed by people telling them in there way and then getting past on and changed further.






I like this photograph because the models facial expression and body angle is natural and relaxed but the background and dress are very complicated contrasting with the model. Also the object such as the books are common conventions in stories and myths allowing the audience of the photo to create a story from it.


This photo tells the story of the myth of Medusa as the model is dressed like her and placed in a dark eerie looking location due to the myth being of these characteristics. I like the photo because as well as the detailed background and costume the pose of the model adds to the interpretations that can be taken from the photo.








I like this photograph because it is very simple yet very interesting as the bed is placed in the sky. It would appear that this is telling the story of heaven because of the clouds. I also like this photograph because of the fact you cant see the face of the model so it allows the audience to connect to the photo more due to the lack of detail.
