This is an self-portrait by Heather Evans Smith. It is an image from the bottom of her nose to above her chest. She is wearing a maroon short with a bow around her neck. The bow matches in the sense that it is blue, purple and maroon. The part that is in main focus is the bow, because it is the centered-main point to the image. She has some pins in her mouth, the ones you use for sewing. To me, that is an odd thing to do.

This is an image of a woman in dark red with needles in her mouth.You can't see her eyes or hair. The photo is from the mouth down. The photographer is using dark red and browns. The colors of the needles are red, pink, and darker colors. This photo has dark shadows, more or less and it doesn't have many sunlight in the photo. There is one person in the photo and you can only see half of her face. The women is holding pins in her mouth. This can be symbolic somehow, like she need to keep her mouth shout or has used her mouth as a weapon.

In this image it is a zoomed in picture of a woman's lower half of the face and her chest. She is wearing a burgundy shirt with a Bow tied around her neck it is burgundy and a light blue color. The lady is holding pins her mouth. They Are steel, blue, light pink, purple, and grey. In this picture it looks to use window light and cause dark shadows. This image is seems to be intimate. I like the colors she uses in this image.

This photograph is of one person holding sewing pins in between her lips. It looks like a woman, but the frame is cut off above the lips so you can’t tell by the rest of the face. The main colors are maroon,burgundy, white, and a faded blue on the bow scarf. These are good colors to use because they are very deep tones that pop out in the image. The lighting behind the subject is a little bit dark, but that actual subject’s face and below are well exposed.

The image is a picture of a lady who has some sewing needles sitting on her lips. The needles are colors that match what she is wearing and each one of the needles is a different size. The colors in the picture make the picture seem dark because the colors are blue, tan, purple, and grey. There is also a lot of shadows in the picture which also makes the picture seem dark. The picture looks like it was taken behind yellow stage curtains. 11/16/2017 12:32:33 pm
This image shows a woman with multiple pins and needles, primarily used for sewing, in her mouth. She is wearing maroon colors. She also wears an extravagant bow tie that takes up a large amount of the frame. Her face is not fully visible. The colors are primarily maroon, due to the subject’s clothes. The main focus in this image is the bowtie. The bow portion of it is entirely in focus. The lighting appears to be more of a mellow tone. The only things that are entirely in focus in this image are the bowtie and the subject’s face. Nothing seems to be happening in this image, as the subject is completely stationary.

This photograph by Heather Evans Smith depicts a woman wearing a purple shirt and a purple bow tie standing in front of a gold-ish brown background. The main thing that stands out about this image are the five sewing pins sticking out of her mouth. The colors of the heads of the sewing pins are the colors used in this photo: green, blue, tan, purple and grey. Over all, the image is filled with dark shadows with light on the left side of the subjects face. The lighting utilized could either be window light or a studio set up.

The photo is a self portrait by Heather Evans Smith. In the photo, she is wearing purple bow around her neck. In addition to this, she is holding needles, from her mouth. In the image, the focal point is the bow, as it is the first thing that takes attention in the image. The background of the image is blurred out, and the image as a whole is quite dark, given the shadows around the outside of the image, and the shadows cast by the bow.

The image is of a female with five pins sticking out of her mouth.The colors are dark somehow always looking similar to maroon.The lighting is dark made by artificial light.There are no extra people just a female with a bow tie looking straight at the camera.

This image is a self portrait done by Heather Evans Smith. This image uses a very wide aperture and the very front of her face and neck are in focus. The only part of her body that is showing is the lower part of her face and her neck and shoulders. She is wearing mostly purple including a large bow around her neck. She is standing in front of a deep yellow or golden colored backdrop. The most interesting part of this image in my opinion, are the sewing pins sitting upon her lips. Across her lips, the photographer has set out five individual sewing pins. This idea might have a specific meaning behind it. This image leaves me wondering what the thought behind the pins was.

This image is a self portrait by Heather Evans Smith. In this image she’s wearing a maroon shirt with a plaid gray and maroon mix of colors on a bow that is tied around her neck. Surrounding her is a yellow tone background. Possibly a backdrop. In this image you can’t really see her facial expression because the only part of her face you can see is her lips. Her lips are slightly parted and there are needles hanging from them. Image gives off a serious mood.

This image is of a lady wearing a purple dress and a plaid bow around her neck. Notably, needles hang down from her mouth. The lady herself is fairly pale, and there aren’t many warm colors at all in the image. The only warm color is from the golden yellow curtains in the background. The needles are the main focus of the image, with them being the most in focus and centered. They too each have cold colors, with them being grey with some blue and purple tips. Comments are closed.
