work (P1, M1, D1)
Photographer: Robert G. Bartholot

5. Theme or focus of images
The overall theme of these images is illusion. In image 1 you see what’s look like a
man part way through a door with bright pants on, in image 2 you see 2 images one
of a girls in yellow and black clothes doing the splits looking directly at the camera
and the other one is the same girl doing a crab, in image 3 you see a man with a lip
piercing and a beard which appears to be wrapped in cling film and has a wig on
he is also looking directly at the camera, in image 4 you see a women looking
straight at the camera who looks pregnant, in image 5 you see a man in a suite had
and bowler and glasses who is holing what looks like an ice cream with red, green
and white ice cream, in image 6 you see a girl who looks like she has had mud
thrown at her.
Composition
The composition of all of these images is central as on all of these photos Robert
makes sure his subjects are in the centre, the overall message of his photos are
illusion because each one of these photo makes you think about something
different, none of these images appear to have been zoomed in on or cropped.
Techniques used
The shutter speed on all of Roberts images are the same with many of them being
taken on a plain background, the rule of thirds appears to have been used in some
of his photos, the depth of field in of these phots are mainly the same as all of the
people in the photos are in focus.
Strengths & Weaknesses
Overall I like the way that all of Roberts photos make you think about what is going
on it the image hopefully when I do my own photography I hope to do something
