Connecting Essay 2



This image features a photomontage of the same person within the image multiple times. This image features a black and white filter that allows for darker tones. The child can be seen interacting with the environment and objects around him in a way that makes the photomontage appear to be seamless. The different positions of the child can be used to depict his movements around the frame, by showing him in different states. The black and white filter highlights the light tones of the sky and beach, along with the dark tones of the children. This creates a contrast within the image, causing the children to become more highlighted in their environment.


My image attempts to use photo joiner to depict evidence of movement around the environment. I attempted to achieve this by having the person interact with the environment by sitting and moving in a way that shows her progression to where she wants to be. The black and white tones are used to create contrasts of the person and her environment. The contrasts are also used to further aid the visual representation of her range of movement, originally, the person starts of her journey in very dark tones and as she begins to reach the end of her journey she moves to a lighter area of the image.

Both of these images can be compared in a number of ways. Photomontage is used in a way that reflects a range of movements of one person. A black and white filter is used in a way that highlights formal elements such as contrast to add tone to the image in a way that is more visually interesting than a coloured picture would be. This also causes the audience to focus on the person which is made the subject of each image.
