Reflecting over the shoot that I have just done and comparing it to other images in the series, I have gained knowledge to understand the weaknesses I encountered and how I can overcome them in order to create a stronger version of the image. When I compared my 'Woman with many arms' photograph with my 'Giraffe Girl' photograph, which I personally feel has been my most visually strongest image of the series so far, I have acknowledged several ways in which I can make my Woman with many arms a stronger photo. One key element which I do need to research into further as I did find it being the main weakness of the photograph was positioning and movement. Because I am essentially creating fashion images I need to publish images with a visual interest. This often done in the fashion industry by producing images containing abstract clothing or scenery, but unfortunately due to my mininamilistic theme that I have placed on the series I would have to find alternate ways to create visual interest. In relation to this, I do believe that abstract movement and positioning would fill this categories quite nicely and bring back this surreal fashion element that I had lost in the photograph.


I want to experiment and practice into the lengthening and contorting of the body and arms in photographs as I believe that it creates quite a haunting view of the body and its skills. Due to my 'Freakshow' theme throughout my body of work, I feel that my image will be very beneficial with trying out different surreal positions as it gives the view of being abnormal, having an abnormal body. Adding movement into an image can also bring more of an interest into the image and will lead my photographs audience to look at my subjects body as a form of entertainment, just like a contortionist at a circus, reinforcing objectification.
