Biography
Catalina Bartolome is an Argentinian photographer. She focuses heavily on producing images where a female subject's face, body, or both are obstructed from view.
Composition
This image lacks contrasts and focuses on the blending of the curtains into the wall. The emphasis of the photo is the arms of the subject. The lighting seems to be very diffuse in images.
Motivation
The purpose of this image is to express the beauty of a woman, beyond just her face.
Method
A curtain is draped in front of the subject's face and body, covering everything except her hands. The image in take straight on, with a very shallow depth of field. The blending of the wall and curtain suggests that diffuse lighting was used.
Opinion
I love this image! I love how the wall and curtain blend together, and put emphasis on the two exposed arms. I also like the position of the subject, it seems as though her hand are protecting one another.
Compostion
This image plays with contrast in a way the the first image does not. The shadow stands out against the sheer yellow curtain. The emphasis is on the shoes in the crevice of the curtains. The lighting in this image is natural, coming straight from the setting sun.
Motivation
I wanted to stay true to the image by obstructing the view of the subject. Instead of attempting to block just her face, I decided to show just her feet. I felt that this mimicked the hands in the first image.
Method
The image was taken in front of a window, with the subject sitting behind a sheer curtain. The bright lighting was used to create shadow.
