Joanne DeCaro

Joanne DeCaro Afornalli is an event and portrait photographer from Italy and has worked with hundreds of up and coming clothes designers and worked for an artist interview magazine as a photographer and photo editor.

This portrait is very specific and it focuses on the make up that is being used. The colours are very bold and and stand out against the models face. It looks like a white bace layer has been used on the models face first in order to make the these shapes stand out. The lack of clothes suggests that this is all she is and its all she can think out. The cup being used suggests that the model drinks tea of coffee which gives people a caffein rush. This theory is supported by the models eyes being wide open taking every bit of information in. Her eyes is also linked to poker because you are always looking at other players to see there reaction. I think this image could have been made better if the models hair was styled to match the glamourous persona of poker. DeCaro has used a very intense flash infront and above the model; this has created a harsh contrast between the shadows and the light.
