3. Portrait/Central Figure
4. I chose this picture because there is no mistaking that the girl is the central figure of the photo. The title of the piece is “All My Nightmares Escaped My Head”. There’s something frighteningly enchanting about this photo. The setting is desolate, an empty parking garage. There are such intensive shadows and harsh lighting. It really intensifies the feeling of fear, and well, nightmares to the image. She is completely alone in the center of complete emptiness. Her nightmares have literally escaped her head, and that is portrayed in the picture.
I also chose this photo because of the strange choice of lighting. A parking garage is not the first place you would think has interesting lighting for a photograph. In most cases, I don’t think the harsh fluorescent lights would work well at all, but in this case it does. It really intensifies the mood of the photo, all of the fear, emptiness, and loneliness.
