PORTRAITURE

PORTRAITURE IS THE MEDIUM OF WHICH REPRESENTS AND PRESENTS A HUMAN, PREDOMINATELY THE FACE AND EMOTION. THE AIM IS TO PRESENT LIKENESS, PERSONALITY AND THE MOOD/ EMOTION.

THESE PICTURES REPRESENT MOOD BECAUSE, THE FACES HAVE BEEN DISTORTED BY A)BLURRING THE FACE BY TAKING 2 PHOTOS AND LAYERING THEM AND B)BY SMEARING PAINT OVER THE FACES. THIS INVOKES FEELINGS OF SHAME, EMBARRASSMENT, SHYNESS AND CONFUSION.

IN THE PHOTOS WINSTON CHURCHILL IS PRESENTED AND STRONG, FEARLESS, SERIOUS AND .

IN THE PHOTO AMANDA LEPORE IS PRESENTED AS BEAUTIFUL AS SHE IS IMITATING MARILYN MONROE'S STYLE, DOWN TO HER BEAUTY SPOT AND HAIR STYLE. ALSO HER FACIAL EXPRESSION PRESENTS HER AS FEARLESS AND GLAMOROUS, AS SHE IS REFUSING TO LOOK AT THE CAMERA. SHE APPEALS TO STEREOTYPICAL NORMATIVES TO SHOW BEAUTY AND CONFIDENCE IN PHOTO WITH PALE SKIN, BLONDE HAIR, BLUSH AND LIPSTICK.

ANNIE LEIBOVITZ

THIS ANNIE LEIBOVITZ PHOTO PORTRAYS THE UBER FAMOUS SINGER, ADELE. THIS IN THE LIKENESS OF ADELE BECAUSE THE PHOTO IS CAPITALIZING ON HER FACE, WHICH IS SERIOUS, YET SHOWS ALOT OF EMOTION. THIS IS VERY AKIN TO HER SONGS, WHICH ARE MOODY, SAD AND DEPRESSING, YET SERIOUS AND HOLDS A SENSE OF HOPE. SHE ALSO CAPITALISES ON HER BEAUTY BY HAVING HER HAIR TWIRLING IN THE WIND, WHICH IS SOMETHING COMMON IN PHOTOS DEPICTING BEAUTY, WHICH IS AKIN TO THE BEAUTY OF HER VOICE, WHICH IS ALMOST OPERA LIKE.

THIS ANNIE LEIBOVITZ PORTRAYS AMERICAN ACTOR, MERYL STREEP, FAMOUS FOR PLAYING A MULTITUDE OF ROLES IN FILMS SUCH AS; THE IRON LADY, THE DEVIL WEARS PARADA, MAMMA MIA, JULIE & JULIA, A SERIES OF UNFORTUNATE EVENTS, SUFFRAGETTE AND INTO THE WOODS. DUE TO HER MULTITUDE OF HER OLES, AND THE FACT SHE IS CONTORTING HER FACE, WHICH HAS BEEN PAINTED ON AND SHOWS LITTLE EMOTION, ALLUDES TO HER MANY MANY MOVIE ROLES, BUT ALLUDING TO THE FACT SHE IS MALLEABLE SO SHE CAN PLAY ALL THESE ROLES.
