Linny's image of a friend during a 'crazy' and so-called 'pathetic' shoot to achieve the most down-trodden women possible. The large glasses really help to reflect idea's of self-loathing and an anti-aesthetic.I believe more women should adopt an anti-aesthetic instead of pleasing the men in society by being a piece of meat to gaze at. She looks away from the camera as if she has limited self-esteem and would rather not look at us, although she seems to be used to be stared at as her body posture is resigned and slumped towards the camera. The distortion of having a wide angled lens pointed towards the face at an angle creates tappered distortion so her legs are minature compared to her body which also helps to create that anti-aesthetic that really is intriguing.
Mustafa Ünsal's photo of Julia shows a different aesthetic achieved even though the view point and subject matter are almost identical. Julia confronts the camera in a classic style of fashion photography and her pose shows deliberate contortions as she holds her body in place to achieve that flirty "look at me" character. I really enjoy the graphic out-of-focus floor tiles which creates texture within a shot that's mostly smooth lines in the chair and skin.
