Connecting essay - 3

This first photograph is one that I have found on the internet it clearly shows form with the directional light coming from the top right going down across the subject.  Its black and white nature creates more contrast between the light and dark areas and emphasises the 3D nature of the model in the photo.

This second photo is one that I have taken myself it shows form quite well with the light coming across the photo from the right hand side.  I think that the position of the light being slightly in front of my model so that the majority of her face is still lit up at least a little bit, combined with the black background contrasting slightly with her hair makes the photo look quite professional.  The black and white nature of this photograph also helps to emphasise the form by removing any colour which can distract from the light and dark contrast.

These to photos relate most obviously through the fact that they are both black and white but also through the fact that they both use a female model and show form with some high contrasting light and dark areas and the use of a dark coloured background.
