Evaluation Question 2


My model and NME’s magazine cover containing peter Doherty are very similar, this should be instantly obvious because they both are using extremely similar poses as well as similar facial expressions.


SHOT TYPE: Both images have been captured in medium close-up range.

ANGLE: Both images have been taken from an angle which is directly in front of the photographer.

POSE: Both models have tilted their head slightly to the left.
Head-tilt-pose may be used
A. to show friendliness and foster rapport; B. to show coyness, as in courtship; C. to strike a submissive pose (e.g., to show deference to one's boss); and D. to respond to cute signs (i.e., to immature cues emanating, e.g., from kittens, puppies, and babies).

COSTUME: Both models are wearing fairly simplistic clothing. They are both wearing hats and both wearing a t-shirt although it appears that Peter Doherty is wearing a blazer also.

EXPRESSION: Expression: Both model poses a “Blank Expression”.
A blank expression is a facial expression characterized by the neutral position of facial features and implies a lack of strong emotion. It may be caused by a lack of emotion, boredom and even a deliberate attempt to disguise one's emotions, such as when playing poker for example.

HAIR: This is one way in which my model differs from NME’s model (Peter Doherty).
My models hair has been “Cornrowed”, this is a traditional African style of hair grooming where the hair is braided very close to the scalp and typically worn by either Men or Females. Doherty has a short and shaggy hair style which is basically short layered hair with short bangs and extreme texture and usually defined by using hair gel.
