Drick172 Research // Signs

Drick172 is a photographer that I found on flickr who has photographed Disney characters.

 The image above is of Donald Duck, in one of his classic poses. This is through his facial expression being controlled by a mask, his gesture and stance is what is controlled by the actor. This is through them knowing the characters and making sure that they represent them through exaggerated gestures and poses.
The photo has been taken with Donald central within the frame, creating him the point of focus for the viewer.

 The image above is of Goofy, who also consists of a mask and the actor controlling the stance and gesture of the character. Since these are all that the actor is in control of, they are exaggerated, this is through him putting one finger on his mouth while his other arm is out to the side and outstretched one leg
The photo has been taken with Goofy central in the image, with his arm and leg outstretched creating him the point of focus for the viewer, this is also because he is the subject within the image.

Mickey Mouse also consists of a mask, also meaning that the actor has created an exaggerated gesture due to that being one of the few things they can control. They have outstretched both their arms into a 'welcoming' pose, with one leg turned slightly to the side on the heel.
He is also central within the image, creating him the point of focus for the viewer. This is striking as Mickey Mouse's costume is made up of bright colours, which makes it very eye catching to the viewer.
