CONTEXT: the image was made in 1964. this is not a digital image.TECHNICAL: i think he has used a DSLR camera to achieve such a good sharpness around the mans body. also if you look carefully enough you can see were this photographs light is coming from. it is coming from the window to Hedgecoe's right that is then shining on to the mirror. this creates a really nice affect.
AESTHETIC: i really like this photograph, i think it appeals to both sex's. i also like how the mirror or glass window says 'to me', which gives this image a bit of mystery, which i love with a photograph
Ok Scott welldone for keeping up the pace...using the same example as the teacher has allowed you to go through the process, however part of your assessment is how YOU research effectively. Carry on to assignment 3 and complete one post by the end of the lesson today but you will have to allocate time to do this again finding your own image.
