I chose this image because of its beautiful emotion. By looking at it for the first time I immediately was drawn in and felt something. The mood is very somber, lonesome, and a little mysterious. The contrast between the darkness in the background and the way the light is hitting the model is very captivating to the eye. This image is a fashion photograph from the magazine Novita in 1665. Its intensions were to show of the style of the time and garments in the light. Although this was its immediate intension, I see far more too it. The photograph reminds me of the feeling of being lost in your own self and trying to find what you are good for, other that beauty. All of these emotive elements along with the beautiful technique make this a very successful image.
