Connecting Essay 2

This photograph was inspired by Justin Grant's photography as he has a section on fitness which was the theme of my studio shoot. I chose the white background because of the colour of the models hair which stands out on the white background. This photograph shows movement as I caught her in mid hair swoop which was the aim of this photograph. This represents how keeping fit and healthy can make you feel happy about yourself. The movement of her hair symbolises being free from everything negative about your life. This photograph was captured with the model positioned to the right of the photograph this is because it allowed the hair to flick into the centre being the main focus. The costume I chose was a blue sport crop top, black sport shorts with a matching blue sweat band this was chosen as the theme of my shoot was fitness and this is the correct clothing to show in my photograph what my personal comment was.


This photograph was taken by the photographer 'Justin Grant' as part of his fitness portfolio. This photograph is to excite the consumers and encourage them to become motivated. The aim of this photograph is to express happiness and inspire many people to become fit. This photograph's model was positioned to the centre and shows movement in photography. The framing of this photograph has no excess space as its been tightly framed to create an appealing photograph due to the closeness of the photograph. This photograph has been edited to maximise the sharpness of her sweat and shine on her body this is what makes the model stand out. Also the bright luminous colours complement each other and the grey background which isn't a common back drop to have for fitness. However this is what makes this photograph very unique. The still movement of this photograph is what makes it different and show a photograph coming alive.

The connection between these two photographs are that they both are photographs based on the theme of fitness. They also both show excitement in keeping fit and motivated. The actual models have both been captured in still movement with their hair flicked in the air. This shows the same idea in both photographs all though the positioning of their bodies are different. They also have the similar sport outfits which contain bright colours that stand out from the back drops. Overall they both connect very well and have the same strengths to form good photographs.
