The Evolution of Britney Spears Part 3

I think this image was pacifically chosen to support the Main Sell Line: ‘Britney Spears, Inside an American Tragedy.’ This is obviously a Close Up Shot that has been used; where Britney’s face is the subject that takes up the whole frame. Black and White photography is the way to go if you want to capture not just the image, but the soul aswel. A well known quote in photography industry is ‘If you’re photographing in colour, you show the colours of their clothes. If you choose black and white you show the colour of their soul.’ Therefore I believe that Rolling Stone has chosen black and white for its significance.

The image has been cropped so that you only concentrate on Britney Spears’ face by doing so it shows the audience that there is more to Britney than her lustful figure, it gives the audience a new perspective, a depth that isn’t shown in the previous magazine covers that Britney has made an appearance.

Britney Spears wants an intimate relationship with the audience this is shown by the direct mode of address, that whilst the photo was being taken Britney looked straight into the camera lens as if looking directly into the eyes of her audience. This is also supported by the anchorage text; ‘Britney Spears, Inside an American Tragedy’, this shows that Britney is opening up about her life and ready to establish a more intimate relationship with her audience by letting them into her life.
