Analytical Review- The Danger Dress
In Tuesday's session we had a guest speaker Carina Buckley who gave us some tips and advice on how to be more critical when analysing images and reviewing.
We have been asked to do a blog post on a image names "The Danger Dress" and review the image in a more detailed and critical way.
This is the image I have selected to review from the website above.
In the image we can clearly see a girl modelling a white dress and white trainers on the street of Venice Blvd so we clearly know this is set in Los Angeles, however the meaning behind the image isn't exactly clear to me as I don't think there is a meaning behind this because what does a white dress and white trainers have to do with a street in LA apart from maybe that it is a summer outfit and the sun is shining. The significance of the location is that is is based in LA and its a popular main road through east Los Angeles.
Her poses are quite chilled and laid back in a sense that its a relaxing sunny day and there no rush or chaos around her, however, the model does come across to me personally as quite vain as all the other images on the website as well she is seen to be holding her hair back and looking down at the camera like she's above everyone else and she's more worthy.
The background of the image pay no reference to the outfit or what is trying to be portrayed it is as if they have just decided that the weather is nice and sunny and they want to shoot the images outside and get the cool Los Angeles vide to fit with the chilled vibe of the outfit. The lighting is good in the way that they have managed to capture the ray of sunshine coming across the image but wether that was intentional or not I'm not too sure and they have opted for natural light rather than artificial.
