- BLACK AND WHITE - 
I PICKED THIS GENRE TO CREATE IMAGES THAT RESEMBLED THE ICONIC WOMEN OF THE 1950'S SUCH AS 'MARILYN MONROE'. NOT ONLY THIS BUT THE FASHION OF THE TIME BUT AND THE WAY THESE WOMEN WERE OPPRESSED. 

THIS IMAGED HAD THE INTENTION OF DEMONSTRATING THE FIGHT FOR WOMEN DUE TO HOW THEY WERE TREATED LIKE OBJECTS AND, THE POWERFUL UPRISING WOMEN HAD TO BEAT THIS. AS MY MODEL IS SHOWING OFF HER LEGS AND IS STRETCHED OUT ACROSS THE 1950'S THEMED CAR. I ALSO LIKE THIS IMAGE AS THE WHITES TONES WITHIN IT WERE INCREASED ON 'PHOTOSHOP' TO ADD VIBRANCY. 

FOR THIS IMAGE I GOT MY MODEL TO POSE LOOKING 'SEDUCTIVE', AND THE FIRST POSE THAT CAME TO MIND FOR HER. I THINK THIS HELPS MAKE THE IMAGE EXPERIMENTAL AND INCLUSIVE. I THINK THIS HELPS SHOW THE STREOTYPICAL WAY THAT WOMEN ARE PORTRAYED ESPECIALLY DURING THIS TIME - THIS COULD ALSO BE VIEWED AS THE MALE GASE. 

THE WAY I SEE THIS IMAGE IS AS A SYMBOL FOR THE 1950'S FASHION THAT PATROLLED THE 'TELEVISION AND DRIVE' OR YOUR LOCAL DANCE FLOOR. THE SUBJECT FOR THIS PHOTO IS OBVIOUSLY THE HEELS AND I LOVE HOW THE ANGLE OF THIS IMAGE. AS IT WAS TAKEN SO IT'S EASY FOR THE VIEWER TO FOLLOW. THIS IMAGE WS EDITED IN THE WAY THAT THE EXPOSURE WAS MAJORLY DECREASED SO THE POLKA DOT PATTERN AND THE TARTEN CLEARLY STANDS OUT TO ALSO HIGHLIGHT THE FASHION AT THE TIME.

THIS LAST IMAGE HELPED TO PAINT THE PICTURE OF THE 50'S ICON, MARILYN MONROE. I THINK THIS BECAUSE IT'S ALMOST AS IF A DIRECTOR HAS JUST TOLD MY MODEL TO SIT IN THE WAY SHE IS WHICH LINKS TO HER SUCCESSFUL ACTING CAREER, AND SO THE WOMEN OF THE TIME.  FURTHERMORE, THE EXPOSURE OF THIS IMAGE WAS ALSO DECREASED TO HELP MAKE THE WHITE TONES POP IN THE TARTEN PATTERN. ALSO, MADI' S HAIR WAS THEN  OVERLY EMPHASISED THE BLONDE COLOURS AND HIGHLIGHTS TO HELP REFLECT MARILYN.
