grace coddington - swept away

The lighting in the image is very natural, but it highlights there bodies and faces so they dont blend into the back ground,

The props used are a net that one girl is trailing behind her, and there are also children in the shot with the women highlighting the fact that the models could be on a day out to the beach with there children,

the colours are very soft and pastelly, lots of sky blue shades, pastel pinks cremes and beiges all work really well together, i think this shows innocence and freshness, it also has a feel of romance to it. It conveys maturity and kindess which i think is shown with the models and children in the shot,


The poses of the models are quite soft and relaxed, very natural looking, a couple of the shots show the models not actaully posing into the camera but in a kind of action shot, either playing or walking down the beach, other shots show the model purposely posing for the camera but still softly. This shows a lot of naturalness in the photos and as the poses arent too strong, it again shows the innocence of the models but also conveys confidence as well,

the back drop is of the models at a beach, this is a really nice back drop and i think it shows the ro,ance and softness of the photos and that the story of the set of photos is about the models going to the beach for the day and relaxing and enjoying it but at the same time looking stylish and natural.

the title is 'swept away', i think there is a big clue as to what the story is about the photos as the poses also go with the title, the way its called swept away and the way the models are posing like there walking off into the distance could show that they are being swept away from life and are thinking about something like a serious decisision, or it could just mean that the models athat are posing with children that they are going out to the beach for a day out and are getting swept away together and having fun, or it could just show a young romantic girl getting swept away in love and lust and all kinds of things and learning lessons on the way.

I think the moods of the photos are really nice and relaxed and fun, i think it says about the pictures that the models in thema re having a good time, thinking to themselves and just taking in the nice surroundings, as being on a beach is very refreshing and free

I think the photo has been edited so that the models stand out really well, as they are wearing similar colours to the background but they still stand out as the lighting has emphasized them even more,

the facial expressions of the models are really soft and natural. I really like the ones where there not lookimng at the camera because again that shows the naturalness of the photos and
