About the Work
Cold
cutting
lines,
stand-off
pose,
paired
with
a
juxtaposition
of
colours.
Warm
reds,
yellows
and
bright
pinks
give
off
a
contrasting
opinion.
I
did
a
series
of
photographs
with
very
similar
set-ups
as
Michael
Smither’s
“Untitled”.
It
involved
my
little
brother
as
the
model
at
a
stage
where
he
appeared
quite
androgenous
.
This
image
bought
me
back
to
those
times
of
learning
about
how
versatile
photography
is.

Description
Image of a domestic interior. A woman is seated on a red armchair that occupies the majority of the picture space. She is wearing a bright pink long sleeved top and a red short skirt, her bare legs are crossed. She is holding a yellow book open, reading it, and it is obscuring her face from the viewer. There is a wall immediately behind the armchair. A red tabletop is in the front at the bottom of the image with a white mug on it at the left.
