Connecting Essay - Julie Harris


This photographer is a milestone photographer and in this photo she has photographer a pregnant woman, this tells the story of the journey she is about to embark on or the chapter of her life she is about to begin. This picture has been put in black and white as it makes her bump look more prominent and the most important part of the picture, this is also enforced by the fact her face is not in the picture, making her pregnant bump the focal point of the picture, even though she is half naked you can tell was the important part of the picture is. 











In this picture I did a photoshoot of my brothers pregnant girlfriend, and the focal point of this picture is her pregnancy belly despite the fact that she is topless. It also becomes more prominent when the black background hits her bump, making it seem sharper. This picture like the other one has her hair in the picture and the only main difference is the fact it is not in black and white and her bottom half is not in the picture. This pregnant belly is more of a close up that Harris' which I like as it emphasises her pregnant belly more and emphasises the story that she is about the embark on a new big chapter of her life. I like the way the form of the shadow hits her bellow as it almost says that someone is there and suggests protection and love to this yet to be born child. 




Both of these photos connect because the narrative of the photos is pregnant woman, they also connect because the pregnant belly is the main part of the photo and this is evident as both women's heads have been removed in this photo, showing this is not about them but their children.
