Image Bank:
In this image there is a skull submerged in a pile of McDonald's wrappers.I like this image because it looks as though the skull was a past lover of McDonalds and has succumb to their love of fast food.
The debry around the skull in this image implies that the person it belonged to lived a very unhealthy life of cigarettes and drugs, which is how they arrived at their death.
The fact you can barely see the skull under the litter suggests that this person's life was overwhelming and so they sought solace in junk food and only ended up dead.
The composition of this image implies that the person who's head is on the tray was killed by the same person who's meal it is. The significance of the skull being next to someone's meal could mean they fell foul of a cannibal and that's how they died.
This image has stereotypically girly toys with a morbid skull in the centre. This could imply that girls are being taught to act according to their gender stereotypes from a young age (hence the baby) and this confinement to social roles shall result in death.
Influence and Summary:
For this photographer I paid attention to how she composed her images. She subtly places the skull in otherwise normal situations, this may mean that she is trying to highlight the toxic errors of society. I have used her theme of junk food for my images and have noted how she uses lights and composition to add a macabre undertone to otherwise unsuspicious items.
