Fashion/Wealth

"This is an interesting image, I'm not too sure what the boxes are signifying. I'm also unsure why the use of a double exposure has been employed. This image can only be related to one of my topics, wealth."

"I really like how this image is laid out and what I mean by this is the somewhat symmetricality of the photo. The way that the two different genders are displayed with the two styles of headdresses, also incorporated are the two different fashion styles which help to document this culture."

Lantern slide sepia image of two people side by side, in profile view. One is a woman, sat proudly, with her hair tied back with a large ear stretcher and wrap over top, the other a man with an open shirt and ceremonial head/hair wear.

Final image

"This portrait was inspired by the image that was created by Dr Ben Simpson. I found his image because of its simplistic nature, I also really enjoyed his placement of the subjects showing off their fashion and status."
