Photograph Possibilities

Sunday 23 January 2011

I have been looking at images that would be appropriate to my new title for my essay. The idea is to look at an image and crit it using different methods. I have broken down the methods i want to use and below i am going to see which ones fit. 

Sisley - fashion line


Sisley - fashion line
Popular culture aspect: edgy image, makes you think your thinking when looking at it but its just a mass produced image made to shock. no though behind it. like punk rock in the fact it try's to go against the grain but is in fact turned into another example of pseudo-individualization.
The Gaze: Male orientated image promoting male control over women. example of photography as a neutral objective gaze but is not because its being controlled in a specific way to emote fear. Example of narcissism, people de-humanizing themselves.
Communication Theory: Redundancy - this is an example of a redundant image, minimizing the communication breakdown with the logo on the front and the style of the image.  again the highest form of predictability. Gives the idea of it being entropic but its not. Taps into the social aspect of the models lives, people that would wear the brand. 










Publicist Max Clifford has taken over dealing with Alfie Patten's media relations since baby Maisie was born to girlfriend Chantelle Steadman, 15.
Clifford told Sky News Online: "There will be a DNA test, I think so."
The family has dominated headlines since the news first emerged at the end of last week.
But over the weekend, more young teenage boys came forward, claiming they could be baby Maisie's father.
Alfie, from East Sussex, has already pledged to be a "good dad... and care for it". The claims he might not be Maisie's biological father seem to have made the teenager more determined to prove his case.
He told The Sun that if he has a DNA test, it will confirm what he already knows and then the other boys "can all shut up".
And Chantelle has insisted to The Sun: "There has been no one else."
She told the newspaper she loves Alfie and has never slept with another boy.
Alfie, a young-looking 13-year-old, is not facing any charges over his underaged sexual relationship with Chantelle. Instead, police and social workers have said they will support the family as it grows.
Children's Secretary Ed Balls told Sky News on Friday the situation involving the two teenagers was "awful".
