Deconstructing an image.

I am going to deconstruct an image of Florence Welch, from Florence and The Machine, as i have a few pictures of her on my moodboard.

She has long bright red hair, that sometimes looks quite disheveled, it could suggest that she wants to stand out, because of the vibrancy, and also the messiness and full fringe reflects her indie/folksy genre of music. Her make up looks quite haunting, with the dark eyes and red lipstick against her pale skin. It reminds me of some of her music, particularly 'Sleep With One Eye Open' which sounds a bit eery.

She is wearing a lot of black and is wearing quite a grungy outfit, with the vintage t-shirt and bomber jacket and short skirt, this is quite typical of an indie genre singer. The fact that she isn't wearing obvious brands and isn't sporting an outfit where brands are clearly displayed makes her seem less generic and maybe not all about the image. The black clothes also make her seem quite dark and mysterious. Also the setting of this photo isn't where a pop star would usually have a photo taken, compared to an expensive studio.

In comparison to this, I'm going to deconstruct an image of Justin Bieber, who is an American pop singer. Firstly he is wearing a NY baseball cap with a small but recognizable logo. He could be quite influential with his style, because people can relate with well known brands more easily. He has a thick, mop style haircut, which is also a popular cut. It makes him look more innocent and youthful and possibly more appealing to teenage girls. His clothes are plain, but could be copied very easily and the purple could represent his youthfulness. He is posing towards the camera, not smiling and showing the peace sign. This shows that he is positively gesturing towards the audience, with a hand in the pocket, which makes him seem casual. This pose has become quite generic of pop/r&b genres.
