Mario Testino

Tom BradyThis photo has a broad depth of field as the whole photograph is in view. Tom is giving the audience direct address so it draws you into his face ad eyes, this is also helped by the lighting used as it is purely on him. There is more focus on Tom in this photo but still some attention is focused on the dog next to him. The suit stand out from the grey background as it makes him look presentable by hiding how he really is on the pitch.The chain around the dogs neck The use of the dog is a connotation as on the football pitch (American) he is an animal and doesn’t hold back. The camera angle used, low angle, makes him look powerful and respected.

There is a broad depth of field used in this photograph. Both models give the audience direct address.The white and black costumes contrast each other.The makeup used is extreme but blend into their surrounding and costume appearance. By using lost expressions on their faces it draws you into

This image of William and Kate taken by Mario Testino has a narrow depth of field, as the background is blurred out but William and Kate are clear. The focus in this photo is the engagement ring on Kate’s finger. It has the most colour in the whole photo as the outfits they have been put in don’t draw your attention away from the ring. The whole photo itself has been posed as the way William in holding Kate doesn’t look natural, it is all about the ring and not themselves. But it shows that William is very protective over Kate. The lighting used is artificial as the light outside isn't creating the shadows that normal day lighting would. The lighting though creates a warm and homely atmosphere. The aim if this photo was to show off the new ring but still make them look like normal people.

This is the first of two photos I have chosen to analyse from the work of Mario Testino.The reason for choosing this photo was because of the format and the figure within the photo. By photographing Emma Watson, in the way Testino has it presents her as a young, innocent girl who has worked her way into stardom.There is a narrow depth of field used in this photo. The contrast between the white clothing and black background draws out the features on Emma’s face, the lighting also helps to do this. The pose that Emma has be positioned allows her to use direct address and makes her seem all sweet.

This is the second photo I have chosen to analyse from the works of Mario Testino.I was automatically drawn to the colours used in this photo. The fiery red and orange used catches the viewers eye straight away.The close up shot allows you to focus straight away onto the models face. This photo was clearly used in an advert, maybe for makeup as the photo is focused on her face.The hand draws your eyes to her bright red lips.The photographer has used direct address in this photo.
