The photo on the right a is by lacour this photo is the classic cutting of the cake photo which is an element of most traditional weddings mine may be just as symbolic but lacour's was obviously taken with superior equipment and it's a better picture all-round but there are some parallels between the two, both are a significant part of the wedding ceremony, both involve the bride and groom cutting the cake and both are devoid of colour for effect although i've gone for sepia (in my final revision after altering the usual aspects) and lacour’s is classic black and white. i decided to use a similar style of photo by Jim Garner to compare and contrast to my own underneath, again there is a similar feel and event to both photograph even aspects of the lighting are similar but the differences are very clear apart from the overall quality being better in comparison to my own image. This particularly uses more colour than the one i altered in Photoshop but not so much so that the lighting is over stated, The style of photo is romantic in nature but also has a darker almost gothic affect to it like most of lacour's work in this field. what makes the composition of this particular piece is that Garner has used specific light sources as focal points and to draw the eye to different aspects of the photo for example the candles in the centre are usually the first focal point that your eye is drawn to, simply because it's the brightness piece of the photograph and it's also central. what makes this piece more interesting is the main focal point, the husband and bride are second to be noticed and blend with the background well, making this picture slightly more unique.
