The above photo revealed the exotic of the male model; the photographer placed the model in an extremely simple village backdrop, and by the impact and irrational scene, to form a visual shock. And the framing method, “Rule of thirds” (三分構圖) compositional rule was used to treat this photo, trying to create a uniqueness image of the man. The placement illustrated the distinctive style of the model. The asymmetrical frame uses a larger element to offset smaller elements, while somehow still keeping everything composed. The arrangement of the background village expressed the concept of “simple”, so the relevance of the fashion model broken the origins of the scene, it highly reflected the motivation of the operator (photographer), she would like to emphasis the existence and unique of the model. The sight of the model was easily enhanced the imagination and interest of viewers. Besides, a very interesting relationship was founded in this photo; it is about the visual fun of “Dualism” (Comparison). The following were the “visible” and “invisible” combinations of the visual elements.
1) Eastern (Chinese style’s houses and bricks) versus Western (The male model)
2) Modern (The male model) versus Traditional (Chinese style’s houses and bricks)
3) Near (The “fashionable” model) versus Far (A man’s back)
The photo via the emergence of the dressed-up male model ironically to reflect the differences of modern and traditional (Background). The photographer was trying to depict the time differences by the male model’s style and the grayish Chinese houses & walls. In conclusion, the exotic appear of the model was used to create the effect to singling out the models from their surrounding. Such visual compositional effect was commonly used in “Fashion Photography” field.
