Celine Fall 2015
– The fashion image from Celine Fall 2015 collection was directed by Phoebe Philo who is famous for Normcore. Malick Sidebé, Malian photographer who took the picture on the left sides was stranded for the black and white studies.
-Even the “WOMAN STANDING BEFORE STRIPED” is a black and white picture, but it contains a lot of pattern elements on the woman’s dress and the background. However, the image on the right only uses plain color from the background to the model’s outfit.
-The facial expressions of both models are kind of monotone.
– For the pose, the standing position of both model is T-step,but the model on the left are more posed the the one on the right. The model on the right seems more leisure.
– The models are all standing closely to the middle of the images.
Good images to compare.
The image on the right is stylized to look natural, while the one on the left may be posing, but she is very natural because she is an obviously less experienced at posing than a professional model.
