Ralph Gibson's photo of Mary-Ellen Pucci
Description: Dramatic intensity, the viewer is drawn into Mary-Ellen's eyes.
Good/Bad: The triangular-geometric patterns of shadows falling across the subject is minimal in it's composition which compliments the busy graphic design of Pucci's shirt and curly hair. The part I like the minimal background also bothers me at the same time- I'd like to know more about Pucci by what background she chooses to place herself in.
Intentions: To create an image of tension where we think we know Pucci by being able to see her eyes although we really don't know anything about her character and preferences.
Evaluation: Gibson is able to compose an image that's minimal in it's complexity and seems as if he hasn't worked to get the shot- which I know is a false assumption because to get a dramatic photo one has to put alot of pre-planning and production energy into the shoot!
