The photo I am analysing displays a human body from the neck up covered in a mix
of materials including brown paper bags, grey mesh and pegs. The main focus of
the image is the covered face as it gives a feel of concealment and mystery. I like
how simplistic the image is to create but how much your eyes get drawn to it. The
lighting in this image displays no shadows which leads me to believe Nickerson
used multiple lights from different angles. The model is in a very straight and
mannequin position which I think adds to the concealment and mystery in the
image. In my work, I would like to use Jackie Nickerson's style of brown paper and
mesh coverings over the face but add my own style to give more character instead
of the straight mannequin look.
