Juxtaposion

For this exercise I have decided to create the front cover of a book, the book I have chosen is called 'Breakfast at Tiffany's by Truman Capote. Whilst most people will only think of the film the book was written in 1958 and the film was released in 1961, I do not have a blue Tiffanys' box (unfortunately) so I had to think what else would represent the film, I chose dark glasses, a strand of pearls and a small hair accessory,all these things you can see in the opening scenes of the film and in fact in the majority of photographs released from the film Audrey Hepburn is wearing a black dress, her hair up with the hair ornament in or sometimes a black hat and she has a pearl necklace on. On the subject of Audrey Hepburn she is the one person I would have really loved to have had the opportunity to photograph, although this could obviously never happen I do enjoy looking at her photographs taken by people like Cecil Beaton and also Norman Parkinson.

I used a tripod and also remote release system for this photograph the camera settings were: F11 @1/15s ISO 100 white balance setting on flash focal length was 100 mm.
