Press Photo This photo shows an aged woman speaking on her phone with an unknown person. The photo is taken in front of Irma on Frederiksborggade near Nørreport. The phone conversation looks intense, as the woman looks anxious and tense. Her sunglasses cover much of her face expression, and the viewer can’t really see her true feelings. Though through her body language, she gives the viewer a feeling drama. The woman looks fragile because of her expression which makes the photo look intense. We have photo manipulated the colors and contrast to heighten the focus on our subject. The dark shadow creates a sense of depth, that works well in balance with the blue background. This gives the photo a clean contrast and a sharp look. We have chosen the picture because we like the simple colors and the expression of the woman. With the cold contrast from the black and blue, and the warm orange colors from the woman’s skin and clothes, we think that the picture is very balanced and pretty. Through her clothing and looks we can assume that she is wealthy. She looks like a woman with high prestige and style, but we can only guess, as we don’t know her at all. The location of where the picture was taken doesn’t give us an indication of a certain type, as it is in the center of the city. At this place there are a lot of people with different styles and background. Anyone can be caught at Nørreport, and you can find anyone from normal people to homeless people. We think the woman could be placed as ‘pragmatic’ with hints of materialism, liberalism, carelessness and dominant. We think the photo suits the criteria as a press photo, as the picture shows emotions instead of facts and news. The picture was taken in a brief moment, and catches the instant motions of the women. She doesn’t look into the camera lens, and therefore the picture seems more authentic and not a set up. The viewer can reflect without any disturbing elements from the picture as it doesn’t show much more than the women and the background. It is what it is.
