The reason I like this image and the reason I chose it out of hundreds of results is the colour scheme. I found the sepia effect to really catch my eye as I haven't seen many shots like this recently. Most imagines are in black and white or colour and this is different.
Another reason I personally like this picture is the framing. I think the way Godwin used the model and the bird cage in a line picture work really well. The fact the cage is above his head makes the picture look longer. I also love the limited detail and the way nothing is taking the focus. This meaning, I like how the picture doesn't have a focus point and if I was to choose a focus point it would be the centre of the image. I can tell the photographer has thought a lot about the audience and linked this with the framing.
She tends to stick with black and white and sepia which I think could maybe link with the emotion of the man. He doesn't look like he is feeling a specific way but the fact the image is quick dark it shows he doesn't feel a specific way, almost his poker face is colour-less?
I want to try and use this technique in some of my work as I feel it would be effective and create a much more interesting image.
