Gottfried Helnwein Part 1 and 2
I believe that this image taken by Gottfried Helnwein depicts a man working on a mural or billboard. From what I can tell, the art that he is working on seems to be of a young child who has a type of white filter on her face and the photo does not look to be photoshopped. From my perspective, this image seems to portray the effects of the real world on a child's innocence. The child depicted seems to have a look of betrayal in her eyes. This may be a take on the influence of world problems, such as war, poverty, and social media abuse, on a child's well-being and free spirit.

I like the angle the shot was taken from, the close up angle helps in focusing in on the cookie with it being clear its the main focus. I also like how the persons face is a bit blurry and is not so clear, it helps in emphasizing the cookie.The cookies detail is also very nice as it looks so real through the photograph and does not look distorted or blurry at all. The story for this is most likely the person possibly found the cookies and is really hunger and is excited to finally eat something, or there someone else's and she will eat them despite them not being hers. I like the photograph solely on the detail in the photograph, the cookie has wonderful detail and the decision to make the person a bit blurry contributed well to the photograph.
ReplyDeleteI believe this photo is a great example of conceptual photography ,It tells a story as soon as you look at the photo. I love that the photo was able to really capture the excitement in the girls eyes as well as capturing the focus of the cookies as well.
