Human Form - Blue Suede Shoes

This image was taken in a series for my Art Academy "Human Form" project. I was focussing in on fashion in this image, being the reason why i included shoes and then also kept the shoes blue in colour, and made the rest of the image black and white - so the shoes would stand out more. This image was taken in colour and then i changed it to black and white as i felt it looked much more tastefull. The model looked "nude" in black and white as apposed to being "naked" in colour, i didnt want the image to look tacky and slaggy, and i think the pose in which the model is in looks quite confrontational, so the black and white calms the "tack" down. I also think that the image looks better in black and white as the tones make up a clear definition between the background of the image and the body of the model, there is quite a dark area around the outline of her body, which help her to stand out from the background. The shoes i have left in blue and then also increased the saturation so they would stand out and be the first thing that you notice about the image.
