This image shows injury through portraiture. Dark clothing along with a black background are used with harsh light on the face in order to create contrast. The image uses contrast to direct the audiences attention to the persons face in order to closely observe their injuries. Dark tones are used to reflect the dark subject that the image depicts. The bruises and injuries on the face are highlighted with the harsh light in order to reveal them, this links to how people may attempt to hide their injuries.
My image attempts to highlight themes of injury. I used a black and white with a combination of a black background and a harsh light to highlight shadows within the image. This is used to highlight the injury of the person while reflecting the dark subject of injury. The light and the tones allow for the image to show formal elements such as contrast which helps to highlight some of the other injuries such as the scar with tone and form to highlight the depth of the cut.
Both of these images can be compared. The images attempt to reflect the subject of injury through portraiture. They attempt to use contrasts of dark and light tones to highlight the injuries of the people in a way that grabs the audiences attention. They use dark tones to depict the dark nature of injuries and even suggest the implications that someone may try to hide their injuries from the world.
