Connecting Essay- Georges Antonio

This photographer is a fashion photographer and has used repetition in his work, this photo documents the fashion of this moment in time and adds to a history (storytelling) timeline. This photographer has used a model that is posing heavily and then reflected her, it is obvious this photo is for a fashion magazine or is just a fashion shoot. The picture is in black and white and has a red slash across parts of her face which then overlap, this is quit artistic and represents the thoughts that fashion is thought to be artistic. The model has been dressed up and put through hair and make up in this shoot to create an element of beauty.

In this photo I tried to recreate a magazine shoot as it is a way of story telling, it tells the history timeline of fashion (currently in modern fashion) and it also the way of conveying a story. I have used repetition in this photo to show 2 different fashions on one model, following studio conventions for fashion photography I used a plain background. The model is pulling almost the same pose in both photos , the only significant difference being her facial expression and the way her hair falls. I have kept this photo in colour to enhance the bright colours of her outfits and convey the fashion in this photo as much as possible. I think the repetition in this picture brings an artistic feel to the photo.








Both photos connect because they both follow the theme of fashion photography and both use repetition (even though Antonio's picture seems like mirroring and is smoother). Both photos also contain a model posing in an obvious way to emphasise the theme of a fashion shoot.
