Sarah Moon Photography Critique


Sarah Moon was born in France in 1941 where she studied painting and drawing in her earlier years. She then worked as a model in Paris and in London which seemed to influence her later work in life. Most of her work is with fashion photography, but she still manages to capture an essence with the work. This image in my opinion works well because of the way she uses her lighting. In the left side of the picture it starts fading to black which in my opinion makes the image very powerful. Also the blurriness adds to it because it makes it more interesting and catches your eye. I think that Sarah Moon is trying to show and unreal reality through this picture. An unreal reality in a way to show something that looks real but also looks like a dream at the same time, at least thats what I get from this picture. In my opinion I think that this is a successful photography. I think this because its interesting to look at and it keeps your attention and also catches your eye. I wouldn't want to change anything from this picture because every factor such as the lighting and shading make it stand out much more.
