This image features a persons face combined with a background of an important football match. This image is used to highlight a personal journey which has been taken by the person within the image. The image is attempting to show a person reflecting on a journey that they have been on within their life as he reminisces about a monumental football match that he played at the end of his teams journey. In this case the memory being shown is a cup final match. The combination of images allows me to communicate this, starting with the use of portraiture. The person is looking up with a proud posture. It is clear that the person is not staring at anything and is instead thinking back fondly to this memory. The image fades into the background image as the audience can a group of players converging around a goal. This implies that the person may have scored the winning goal of this match. This reflects journey on a personal and emotional level and a journey of the team to victory. This image shows how much this experience means to the person as he looks back on the memory.
This image by Andre de Freitas features the use of multiple exposure. Within the frame, there are two images that are seamlessly blended into one. The first is a portrait which shows a girl looking up with her head tilted slightly. The second image features a landscape image which features lights, possibly from a city setting. The expression of the girl within the photo suggests that she is thinking of something or even reminiscing about a fond memory. This links to the other image which is framed within the person's head. This shows that this is the place that she is thinking about. There are heavy themes of contrast present within the images as the lighter tones blend in to the background while the darker tones create the base of the portrait.
These images link under a number of different areas. The most immediate similarity is the fact that both images utilise the same technique of multiple exposure. This theme links within the use of black and white and the feature of heavy contrasts within the frame. The themes that are used within the images involve reflection and reminiscing on memories. The boy in the image is thinking fondly to an event within his life while the girl in the second image is reminiscing fondly about a specific location.
