Connecting Essay 5

Internet Photograph

This is the online photograph that I found that links with my own photograph down below. This picture is of a necklace that consists of a variety of rainbow colours. The female is wearing a white t-shirt which allows the bright colours on the piece of jewellery to stand out. The texture of the feathers looks fluffy and soft which gives this piece of jewellery a less harsh effect and also comes across as more childish than a more sophisticated piece of gold/silver jewellery. 

My Photograph

This is my own photograph. This is a close up of my necklace  which effectively portrays the formal element colour. It could also represent pattern as there's a consistent pattern of curved rectangles containing two different coloured disks. I really like the colours in this piece of jewellery because it only has four different shades which avoids the necklace from looking cluttered with a random variety of colours. 

The Connection

These two pictures are not 100% identical, but still have a wide variety of similarities that connect them to one another. Both pieces of jewellery consist of the same colours, these being yellow, orange, beige and lime green. They are both also quite childish pieces of jewellery because the colours aren't mature as golds and silvers that older women would wear, so it's evident that these kind of necklaces would be worn by teenagers; in my opinion. In the internet photograph, the neck of the girl is exposed which isn't the case in my picture. I haze zoomed right into my necklace to focus on the shape of the segments and the colours that it consists of. Both images however, present the accessory against a white background as both me and the model in the internet photograph are clothed in the same colour t-shirt. This allows the bold and bright colours to stand out which I think gives both of these images a more effective.
