Image Bank - Back Of Head Portraiture

All of these images below portray 'back of head portraiture'. They all have a backdrop/background that fits the feel of the picture for example, the man in the cap is clearly standing infront of a train track wich could hint at suicide. It's a photograph that exhales a lot of impact on the audience and creates quite a negative mood. Not one of these pictures is of just a head infront of a plain backdrop. Each pictures tells a story and that's what I like about photography. They all have separate meanings, yet all cover the same topic no matter how different they may be from each other.

A popular reaction that could be created through this picture is "that's soooooooo cute". The miniature cat contributes to this popular reaction. It's head is at an angle nearly identical to the girl's. This portrays a close bond and trustworthy friendship between the girl and the cat. The colours in this photograph look vintage which is what I really like, so the white background compliments the subject.

From this photo it is evident that the subject is at a wedding, in a wedding dress with a hair style that probably took hours to create. The wedding scene is portrayed through the floral blur in the back groud. Most of this picture is white and refreshing which is the stereotype of a white wedding. It's an extremely pretty picture, but could be improved by the woman being more in the centre standing at less of a twisted angle.

The setting that this woman is surrounded by is established in this picture. It isn't only a photograph of the back of her head, but also the fact that the viewer can see that she's in the middle of a field with the sun shining down on her perhaps hints at it being a warm spring day. Her holding her head illustrates how she may possibly be worn out, nevertheless this picture still looks relaxing and peaceful. 

I love this picture. The sunshine is deonstrated through the different shades of the girls hair. Sun in the middle of a frosted scene is an extreme contradiction, but one that also looks breathtaking. The beanie is an effective accessory in this photograph as it make the woman look warm even though she's in the middle of possibly Antartica. The background that's been used in this picture is extremely photographic and it really captures the viewers attention.
