Erin CaseThis photo is a portrait photomontage where the land scape has replaced the face of the woman. I know it is a face of a woman because of the style of the hair which is long and plaited. It also has a mirrored effect where it feels like the photo carries on forever. It’s in color and the landscape is quite bright. The leading line in the landscape lead to where the mouth would be in the portrait so that the face is still identifiable. I like this photograph because the artist has used to photographic mediums to bring together a photo the two concepts that have been used are portrait and also landscape which would usually not go together but because the face has been taken away it brings the photo together. I know this photo is a portrait because you can clearly see that there is hair and a body of a person but there face is missing, however You can still make out the shape of the face by the hair of the model.
