This image is taken of a three girs in a room. Two of these girls appear to be older and in their teenage years. The third little girl stands in the room watching as a bystander what the girls are doing. It appears that she looks up to them both physically and in an emotional sense. The two older girls are very beautiful and appear to be dressed up and taking a photo. The colors being used in this image are very natural and calming. The undertones are warm and produce a comforting feeling while studying it. There is natural light that appears to be coming from a natural source such as a window considering the girls are indoors. In the image there are personal objects strewn about which makes the environment the image was taken of very familiar as if it were taken in a home.

Sian Davey’s image is of a few young girls who are taking pictures. They seem to be getting ready for something because they are wearing dresses. They are in a messy room with pillows and clothes scattered across the floor. In the back stands Alice, Sian Davey’s daughter, watching these girls who are having so much fun. Alice looks upset, and the girls do not notice Alice there.

The image depicts two teenagers and a child altogether in a room, where one of the teens looks to be going to an event. The colors included are black, blue, brown, white, aqua, green, and red. The lightning is sunlight shining through what you can infer to be a window so it’s light in some areas while in other areas it’s kind of dark. Objects included in the image is a dree, a camera, a towel, and a house. In the image, it appears one of the teens is taking a photo of the other teens.

This image by artist Sian Davey is of her daughter, Alice, who has Down’s Syndrome. In this image she is with friends and family socializing and taking pictures of each other. There is black, white, green, blue and brown in the image. The colors compliment the image by being diverse and random and in the moment. The lighting is coming from sunlight through the windows and there are no lights turned on inside the room. There are 5 people in the room including the photographer and there are two girls posing for a picture and Alice is in the background observing them.

This piece shows the photographer's daughter and what could be her friends playing around. Alice is in the back watching with a baffled look on her face. One of the friends is recording what is happening with an iPhone. The room there is a mess with items all over the place. One of the girls is spraying what I think is the photographer's daughter with what looks like perfume.

Looking For Alice by Sian Davey is a series of photographs of her daughter, Alice, who was born with down’s syndrome. This collection of pictures was done to illustrate how Alice is no different from any other person. In the United Kingdom, 92% of babies found to have down’s syndrome are terminated by their own parents. In this particular image, titled Before the Ball, pictures Alice staring blankly at her mother as she is getting ready. Sian Davey appears to be surrounded by friends, having a good time before she leaves. 12/12/2019 08:59:36 pm
The photo consists of the photographer's daughter and friends getting ready for the ball dance with Alice in the back looking at them. The photographer uses like from outside. The two faces that can be made out the easiest are Alice’s and girl in the black dress. A bag and a pair of shoes can be seen behind the girl in black. A jacket is to the far right of the room. While Alice watches the girl in black sprays her friend with perfume while the one out of frame checks herself out with her camera.

This image is of the photographer’s daughters. The eldest daughter is wearing a black dress while spraying one of the other daughters with perfume. The third and youngest is looking at the eldest most likely in confusion as to what her sisters are doing. The picture seems to use more cool colors than warm colors. The lighting is mainly focused in the center of the picture while the corners are a little darker.

The image appears to be of three girls getting ready to go somewhere, with a toddler in the background watching. The three older girls in the front are a bit out of focus, and the focus is on the toddler in the background. The color palette is not heavily saturated, but it’s not faded either. It’s good natural balance, maybe a bit on the cooler toned side. The photo also has some vignette, which creates some shadowing around the edges and draws the viewer’s eye to the main subject, the toddler. The room is also a bit cluttered, which helps the background not look so stark and boring. There is definitely a lot going on in this image. Comments are closed.
