Horror V.S Elegance - Image bank

In this photograph, we can see a model staring into the camera lens as the crosses hang in front of her face. The colours mostly range between black, silver and purple as the photo stays in a portrait style. This photo is placed under Horror V.S Elegance because while the models facial expression and make-up is styled so elegantly, crosses are used in a anti-religious view for the horror side of this. The positive point of this photograph is that the eyes stand out with the skin and the lipstick colour on the model to the audience, this is a positive factor because it becomes a quick focus point, which really draws in all the attention to the contrast. The negative point of this photograph, is that the chains above the models head are an distraction, this is a negative factor because it pulls the focus away from the real point and story of the photograph itself. An improvement I would make to this photograph, would be too try and clone the chains on the models head away. 

In this photograph, we cam see a three picture collage of a young female. In these three pictures, the model changes from a portrait, to a full body shot of her floating to another picture of her naked back. This photo is placed under Horror V.S. Elegance because the model keeps elegant positions with her body and face in such a natural way, whilst either the chain prop or her clothing or position shows possession and horror. The positive point of this photograph, is the positioning of the model, this is a positive factor because they all contrast and actually tell a horror style, while the model is shown to be innocent and elegant in a way. I believe that this photograph does not have a negative factor or improvement to reveal.

In this photograph, we can see an elegant women posing with her hands upon her head whilst she is covered in spiderwebs and a spider mask against a grey background. This photo is placed under Horror V.S. Elegance because the model completes an elegant pose as if she was in a fairytale whilst her outfit tells a completely different story in a more scary situation with also the fear of spiders. The positive point of this photograph is the models outfit, this is a positive factor because it nicely contrasts against the paleness of her flesh but also the darkish background to stand out more. The negative point of this photograph would be the camera positioning, this is a negative factor because it makes the photo look extremely basic. An improvement I would make to this photograph, would be to re-take the photograph from an ant-view angle or just a lower angle. 

In this photograph, we can see an elegantly make-uped girl with her hand against her mouth as blood drips from it, she is also shown to be leaning against a rusty and rough background. This photo is placed under Horror V.S Elegance because the models facial expression, positioning with the hand and facial expression shows innocence and elegance, whilst the blood and background compares against this in a horrific way. The positive point of this photograph is the clearly shown model's eyes, this is a positive factor because they draw the audience in to the elegance, this is a positive factor because the false appearance used quickly shatters into another story, making the audiences atmosphere shatter around them. I believe that this photograph does not have a negative factor or improvement to reveal.

In this photograph, we can see the elegance of two darker clothed women sitting amongst ruins with books and clothes laying around them. This photo is placed under Horror V.S. Elegance because the elegance comes from the gothic styled clothing and models positioning whilst the horror lingers through this with the selected location and items being placed around. The positive point of this photograph is that the models clothing matches well with the location, this is a positive factor because it resembles a more realistic feel as if the audience members were actually in that location, watching these models. The negative point of this photograph is that the standing model's full head is not shown, this is a negative factor because it makes the photograph simple, whilst also looking like an amateur took this photograph. As an improvement to this photograph, would be to re-take this photograph from a distance to include the full head of the standing model.

In this photograph, we can see a dungeon in the background, whilst a pale female is shown to be standing in the middle, with two men either side of her going in to bite her neck. This photo is placed under Horror V.S Elegance because the models which are shown to be vampires standing in the dungeon are also shown to be dressed elegantly and gothic styled as if they actually ruled the place. The positive point of this photograph is that while the horror is really shown, the elegance is mainly focused on, this is a positive factor because it reveals to the audience that even though the main focus is usually horror, some sort of elegance is always seen through it. I believe that this photograph does not have a negative or improvement to be revealed. 

In this photograph, we can see a young female mode sitting against a grey background naked, whilst these mechanical skin coloured splinters come out of her spine and arm. This photo is placed under Horror V.S. Elegance because the model is shown to be feminine whilst these splinters which can be a phobia for most people come out of her flesh. The positive point of this photograph is how realistic the splinters look whilst coming out of the women's body, this is a positive factor because the audience can become mesmerised by the appearance of this now horror looking mechanical women. I believe that this photograph does not have a negative factor or improvement to reveal.
