The lighting is coming from the right hand side of her face. The girls dress stands out the most in the picture, because it's the brightest thing in the picture.
Julia's image is simple, the sepia effect makes the image more interesting. The subject has a sad haunted look about her. Julia has made the fur stand out on the coat and this is the brightest thing in the picture.
The tones around the girl are smoky, the white at the top of the image looks like smoke, where the rest of the image looks chalky. This really makes the girl stand out against her wings.
Julia has made this image look very modest, by the way the girl is posing.
As the girl has her arms in a prayer form, it reflects the fact that shes meant to be an angel because angels have wings.
Julia makes albumen-silver prints from wet collodion glass plate negatives. Julia's photo is a portrait. The person in the photo is making eye contact, which draws the eye in right away. Julia has given this photo a sepia effect, which makes the photo look old.
Julia wants you to understand the nature of reality. She was a believer in Transcendentalist thought, which maintained that "individual will and the love of beauty could make the invisible visible." This idea comes through in her work, where she captured the very essence of her sitters on film.
The pattern on the wall draws the eye in to the womans face. The shadows from the woman create triangles which also draw the eye in.
Julia has made this image look pure. The wings on the girl curve around which lead your eyes in to the center of the girls face.
The girl is making eye contact, her expression is plain, but sweet. The warm colours in the back ground really bring out the beauty, in the girls face.
The composition of this photo is tight, which brings the whole image together. The tightness creates a warm, relaxed feeling.
Angels are known to be patient, as the girl has her arms crossed it shows that she is a patient person.
