In this series of photographs, I was trying to replicate Finlay MacKay's style of lighting.
For the concept of this series, I was trying to explore ways in which small sections of the body can tell whole stories by the interpretation of body language. For example, in this photograph I only selected the feet, an often ignored section of the body and it is clear that a man and a woman are being portrayed. The way in which the feet are positioned connotes inferences by their body language so the audience are able to make their own interpretation of what is going on in the photograph. The representation of the man is strong as his feet are spread apart in a confident stance. The woman is shown as being shy and weak and feminine by the type of shoes she has chosen to wear as well as the way in which her feet are positioned.
The environment also adds to the storyline. It is obviously a run down urban area in which the couple have encountered each other.
The CD on the floor further adds to the storyline, suggesting that music brings people together
