Carina Buckley Analytical Review - The Danger Dress

Where Have All The Surfing Cowboys Gone







All photographs from: http://i279.photobucket.com/albums/kk154/fashiontoast/10-2013/sc1_zps70837974.jpg


The name of these series of photographs makes me assume that the theme in these photographs is that the model is looking for the so called surfing cowboys. This is reflected in a lot of the photographs as the model is looking away from the camera and into the distance as if she is scanning the horizon for what she is looking for.  In these images the model is stood away from the wall as if she is trying her best to find what she is looking for and looks as though she is about to go off searching away from where the surfing cowboys are suppose to be. However in the later photographs she is leaning on the wall looking down away from the space around her almost as if she has given up looking what she is searching for. This is reflected further in her facial expressions which change from looking quite determined to looking annoyed and almost upset. Also you can tell that the later photographs were taken later in the day due to the shadows created by the sun light so it looks as though she has gone in search of who she was looking for and then come back to her starting point after being unable to find who she was looking for. The dress in the image is referred to as the “Danger dress” in the photograph’s description which may be because of the split up the thigh making it daring as it is revealing a lot of skin. Alternatively it could refer to the colour of the dress as white is a very unforgiving colour and does not hide any marks or stains.
