Connecting essay two


I took this photograph using the props and costume in the style of the book Alice in wonderland. I chose not to have Sophie's face in this photograph as I feel it gives the audience more of a chance to relate to the photo as they can imagine the face. However in the photo the traditional long blonde hair can be seen and the short blue dress so that it is clear what story the photo is telling. As in part of the story the characters have a tea party in the woods I have used the tea set as the prop and the woods as the location. In this photograph I made the background black and white with the rest in colour, I did this as in the story Alice is in another abnormal world and in the photo with the world is different to what she is used to.

This Photo was taken by Marina Koslow from her Alice in Wonderland style shoot. She has used a tea set to illustrate the part of the book where Alice attends a tea party. The tea set is very delicate and pretty which makes the photo very attractive. The traditional blonde hair can be seen but is blurred so that the tea set is still the main focus of the photo. The photographer has used the traditional colours of the costume but the dress is slightly different from the one in the original books although it is still clear that Alice in Wonderland is the story being told in the photo.

I have chosen these two photos to connect as they both use props, location and costume from Alice in wonderland. In both photos the tea set has been used to illustrate the part of the story where Alice attends the mad hatters tea party. Also in both photographs the blond hair and Alice dress can be seen but not the face of each model. This makes both photos quite mysterious and allows the audience to imagine the face of the character. Both photos also use the wood setting. Finally both photos make the model and the tea set on a tray the main focus of the photo by either making the rest black and white or using selective focus.
