New portraiture project final piece - Corinne Day, Kate Moss image inspiration // Portraiture

Recently, I met up with my friend Ella to take some portraiture images that I could use for my media coursework (2 fashion magazine covers). In doing this, I borrowed my mum's friends pop-up photography background and 2 lights. This meant that I could have a 'professional' white background to have my subject against.

I took inspiration for my image that I am including as one of my final portraiture pieces from Corrine Day's image involving multiple images of Kate Moss seemingly going about some sort of conversation. These images are quite powerful as Moss she isn't posed as she typically would be as she is a professional model. The images are in black and white which create a much more powerful effect to the image as a whole as all the different shades of colours that would typically be present within a portrait of Moss.

The image below is my image, that I created using Corinne Day's image as inspiration.

In my personal opinion, I prefer the black and white image, as I think it looks more striking and brings the attention to what's happening rather than the colours in the image. The image is very relaxed as it seems like she is having a conversation in the images rather than posing like a model to the camera. Also the aspect that each of the 9 images are squares means that the composition within the image, is well defined to the subjects facial expressions.
