The first image is that of a swan

  • The white and blue contrast each other strongly, this helps bring the viewers attention to the swan
  • The image appears to have a filter on it, either emboss or negative. This gives a very unnatural feeling to the image
  • The body and wings are very symmetrical however the head is turned to the side, this brings about a sort of flow to the swan and thus calmness
  • Overall I quite like this image, it’s chilling and creepy yet soothing and calm

untitled twins (joined), Dan EstabrookIMG_20180910_151509.jpgThis is definitely one of the more chilling of the more chilling images, it is of two men, their faces obscured

  • The fact that their faces are obscured makes me feel that these two could be anyone, for some reason this is worrying to me as I do not know who they are. I can not see a visible face and that is making me nervous
  • The only thing in focus is the hand by the side of the left man. This could be that the hand, and the man on the right which one can only assume that the hand is from, is important.
  • While the man on the left has his face blurry, the man on the right appears to have had his face removed by perhaps being burnt out.
  • The man on left is facing forwards while the man on the right is turned to the side slight, towards the other man. This throws the symmetry of the image off as well as the hand near the left man. This makes one feel very uneasy.
