By cutting a photograph up into rectangular shapes and layering them on top of each-other i made this. If i was to recreate this process again i would have chosen to use colour and beet neater when cutting and sticking the rectangles together.I think that the background and the layout of the rectangles works very cohesively here and the black and white contrast is good.
I think that i would redo it but using a bigger skale so that understood. I do like the background because i think that it looks like the image is moving and i think that the movement adds to the photograph. I also like the black and white because it makes the different patterns and textures more vivid and it makes them stand out better. Moving forward i want to incorporate the use of movement and black and white contrast , i also want to take into my final response the subjects expression having a role in the mood and tone of the photograph and i think that her expression plays a part in how we interpret the mood of the image. |

This photo is a great example of one of Scravilles work, the opposing and contrasting colours and patterns all work cohesively with each-other and the effect of the bight light of the sun making the subjects skin and the fabrics shine. Additionally the pose of the subject and its strangeness help illuminate a sense of struggle and pain. Scravilles use of black and white colours mute the brightness of the sun and add a strange and liminality to the photograph. The closeness the the subject helps highlight fine details like the wrinkled fabric and the points that shine brightest from the sun. In my personal response i want to recreate the wrinkling of the fabric and the bright lights , but contrasting i would want to focus mainly on the effect of light through fabric and moonshine.
