Photograph Influences

My photograph will be stylised like this photograph of The White Stripes. I will make it like this in terms of one subject being in the foreground and one in the back. Because my theme is reversed gender stereotypes, i will put the female in the foreground and the male in the background. I will use the red, white and black colour scheme and also serious expressions.

In terms of camera angles, I will base my photograph around this one; the camera angle is a high angle shot looking down on the subject. Although this theoretically portrays the subject as feeble and weak, it does look good with a slightly wide angle lens. This is shown in the picture of slash where it makes the head area look large and the legs look small, as if the whole body is directing towards a certain point. This is also shown in the second picture of The White Stripes where they're holding their umbrellas in the rain and looking into the camera. Although a wide angle lens isn't used in this shot, it does make it look like their bodies are directing towards a certain point and it highlights their expressions very well.
