Connecting essay 1 - Makeup bag:

Internet image:

This first image is one from the internet of a makeup bag with its content spilling out. This image has a plain white background that contrasts with the colours of the items in side the bag, this helps each of the singular colours to standout. In the image theres no order to how the products are falling out of the makeup bag. This image appears to be slightly over exposed making some of the colours look washed out and some a lot brighter than they are. 

My image:

Below is my image that i feel connects to the image above. Both images have the same concept where theres a makeup bag with its contents falling out, however both images do differ in some ways. The theme for my image was to make the image look suitable for a magazine, in order to do so lighting was essential to me, and I played around with the saturation during the editing stage. I found that by lowering the saturation i was able to make the image appear more subtle as well as reducing any major contrasts.

Both images together:

As a whole the two images are set out in the same way with the aim being so show the content of the makeup bag. However they differ in the ways that they've been edited. The internet image has been left so that the vibrant colours are all shown whereas my image has been edited in a way that makes it appear more subtle and more suitable for a magazine. Personally i think that the colours of the internet image are far to bright and don't make the image appear attractive, i think that lowering the brightness would improve this image further.
