in nan Goldins 'nan and brian in bed' (1983)

She depicts a warm domestic scene of a man and women in bed, lit up by a burnt yellow hue. the man is sat upright slightly leaning forward smoking a cigarette. he's positioned in a side angle letting the bright warm light face him directly illuminating the front of this body, casing a light shadow over his unclothed back. this shadow then falls on the woman who is laying down beside him looking slightly over as the man smokes.

the setting is quite bare instead focusing on utilizing the warm toned lighting to highlight the domesticity of the pair, along side the soft lighting creating a intimate atmosphere exposing the closeness and vulnerability that is present between the two.

In this imagery the editor used photo shop to shrink down the man and make the illusion of the woman eating the man. this is highlighting the power of women and braking down the stenotype of woman realing on man and woman being nothing without man.

the acting throught this picture is portraying acters practising dancing, their bodys are very flexible moving into eachother, the man who is reaching for the womans back is the dancing teacher fixing her posture whilst teaching them a new dance.

the acters look very comfident in them self leading us to think that their profetionals or have been dancing from some time

the lighting in this picture is very scattered and bright with a variety of different colours coming from a bunch old different angles to convey a dream or high - like sense. from these aspects we get the feeling of late night party and a sense of spontaneity

The acting is this photo is genuine, in this photograph we are shown two people who are watching a performance. The photo is interesting as it shows two different interpretations of the performance, one is joyous and the other is emotional. Both of the people are enjoying the show but just in varied ways.

This photo is special, it shows how us that people can interpret media in different ways, there is no definite process for engaging with anything.

Cindy Sherman - Untitled Film Still #4 1977

# data[].attributes.body
Cindy Sherman’s Untitled film still #4 displays a female actor slumped in despair a door that appears to lead into some sort of apartment, she has possibly been shut out after some sort of dispute. The framing of the shot omits the end of the hallway leaving a sense of uncertainty within the photograph. This feeling allows us to infer the woman’s disposition, some event has occurred, leaving her within suggested hopelessness that has no clear path or escape from. The foreboding and unreliable quality of her reality provided by the mysterious future of the hallway holds for her has caused her to succumb to her anguish, unable to move from her position, this stillness allow the photo to capture an enriched narrative.

This image does not have any bright colours and sets a dark mood. The studio light shinning on the girl says that she is in the spotlight. Due to her position she looks like she is going to be on a stage, maybe she is about to perform something like a dance. My initial that was that she was a ballerina by the way she is positioned although her shoes are obviously just heels so it suggests something else. Because of the lighting her facial expression is harder to recognise.

title: burlesque by Diane Arbus

a lovely lady backstage at her burlesque show, her setting is filled with clutter and things she uses to get ready for the show, but amongst the clutterer she sits proud and poses for the camera, although the room is a bit drab it is still very glitz and glamour kind of atmosphere because the showgirl is the centre focus in this image and looks absolutely gorgeous, i image this is set in the early-mid 1900's so like 1940-1960ish very Marylin Monro bombshell, while backstage in a local club at the more lower-class end of town she makes her living with her fabulous moves and seduction.

this photo highlights the two people in the the shot, as the cars are zooming past the woman and man are still.

this image is breaking down social norms as the woman is acting in a more masculine way as she holds the man up by his leg reaching her arm behind his neck her legs strong as she leans forward kissing him passionately on the lips.

the body language of the man is very dainty and elegant. they are both feel as there are in love and they are stuck in the moment of each other while the world continues moving.

Nan Goldin, Self portrait in blue bathroom London.

# data[].attributes.body
The slanted light that comes in through the window highlights only part of her body alluding that she is not showing her full self, this is reinforced by the mirror which also only shows us part of this woman. The fact that we only see this woman through the mirror implies that we are still seeing a distorted view of this woman. The bathroom illustrates the private nature of the photo and makes us feel like we are intruding on someone. Walking in and seeing someone naked in the mirror.

# data[].attributes.body
in Nan Goldins "Self-Portrait in Blue Bathroom" the small use of objects creates this plain bland look, with the only objects are the bath and mirror and bath products, it apears to be an old house and shes not very wealthy, the way they have captured the wall, makes the picture have depth and appear that the woman is further away. the woman in the photo is looking straight in to the mirror witht he light sitting on her face.

On the desk, placed on the right side of the picture, there is a lamp, two pieces of cloth with the blue one covering what looks like a picture frame and a decaying hand placed on it. On the left hand side is empty plastic boxes and a bunch of books in a cupboard. The plastic boxes kind of look like cake containers and some of the books look much older than others. It looks as if the guy in this photo was drawing the arm in front of him, he looks as if he is drawing the inner of the arm for research purposes. He looks very concentrated on his work but he doesn't look particularly happy

The fruit pop against the red counter they sit on the vibrant saturation of the picture make it feel like u walked into a fruit market in 1975 on a sunny day and 2 boys are there to greet u. the prices are vintage letters to highlight the time even the hair of the workers is dated lil bro look like Justin Bieber on ozempic. apples is their specialty u can tell as the blue and red sighs above them reinforce this.

The rather serious girl, dressed in vintage clothing sitting on an antique couch in an otherwise empty room, has an unsettling feel to it. The girl has an upright sitting position and a stern face that looks older than her years. A cat is her companion which appears to be relaxed within the scene.

The desaturated tones of the image also allude to a time long past. There is a sense of austerity and expectation in the image. Perhaps she has just come in to the room to be spoken to by her parents about something she has done wrong, or maybe she is about to receive some bad news.

the boy within this photo facial expressions are very distracted and bored, he's spread along the chair in an informal way implying he is in his home or somewhere where he feels commutable enough to act in this manner. it appears that the women cut out of this image seems to be his mother, it looks like she is telling him off or disappointed in him because of her body language and that she is holding a drink. -jade v

The camera and framing is interesting in this photo. The camera is straight on while the character is leaning in a direction, this could possibly represent the tired nature of the figure. The figure is sitting down, instead of making the figure look strong, he is made to look worn and tired. the effect that this achieves is strong, we are shown the other side of a worker and how their work affects them.

Cindy Sherman - “Untitled Film Still #62”

# data[].attributes.body
Cindy Sherman’s ‘Untitled Film Still #62” exhibits a female actor sitting in a dynamic pose in front of bright lights in a black and white filter that overcasts the image and gives a nostalgic and old look/feel to the photograph. The harsh lighting of the photo hides the actors face and also creates a contrasting focal point to draw the viewers eye into the piece easily, and also creates an attentive or unsettling feel to the piece, as it is so bright and confusing. Based on this and the pose of the woman, we as the audience can infer that something dangerous may be about to occur, whether she has noticed another person who may harm her, or she has been scared by something and is preparing for a fight, flight, or freeze response.

the setting depicts an old tractor or truck that is in direct contrast with the feminine girl wearing pink seeing that typically those environments are inhabited by stereotypically very masculine people. the setting is small and enclosed to create the frame and feeling in the image.

The rusted cars and unkept lawn indicate that this a poor area and these people cannot afford the fuel they are taking. The larger white house in the background as well as the garage and the three cars imply that the people who the house belong to are much wealthier. The well trodden paths that go down the hill indicate that they are regularly stealing this fuel to make ends meet.

the curled up, layered and closeness of the models positions and their tired and some even asleep facial expressions evoke nostalgia and a sense of community and belonging. these aspects replicate the morning after a party or a sleepover when everyone is just starting to wake up.
