Nora Drew - Week 8

This photo is from Elizabeth Pedinotti's collection, "The Space Between Hours." The artist provides no explanation for the set on her website, but leaves the viewer to draw lines between the photos themselves. To me the set has a lot to do with innocence and the loss of innocence and the blissfulness of ignorance at a young age.
I think that this photo is particularly compelling mostly because of the curious nature of the subject of the photo. It's very well executed with the spoon and the subject's mouth on the upper third of the photograph. The colors are mostly neutral with a little bit of red. The red helps you bring your attention straight to the little girl. All of the neutral colors help make the white in the cream and blindfold pop, the most compelling parts of the photo. I think that color pallet aids to the dark and curious nature of the photo.
