Assignment 3: Post 2: Focal Point.

FACTUAL: This photograph is by the British photographer, Perou.
TECHNICAL: There is a dim but effective light shining on the girl and making it clear that she is the focal point of the photograph, whereas the other part of the photograph (behind the curtains) is dark.
AESTHETIC: I think this is a very good example of focal point in a photograph. The black curtains frame the girl nicely, drawing your eyes towards her. Perou makes it seem as if the viewer is peeking subtly in the direction of the girl. I think this creates a mysteious feel to the photograph.
