Sanne De Wilde

Snow White

I was initially attracted to these images because of the simplicity of the colour scheme and unusual beauty. I first thought that the images would be of albino's, although their eyes do not appear to be the usual colour of people who are effected by albinism.

The subjects look detached from the photographer. They look as they are interested in something not in the cameras field point of view.

The focus in the series of 'snow white' is in portraiture and shooting people. It appears to be shot in set up studio settings.

It looks to be Sanne De Wilde's subjects to be excessively blonde and unusually fair skinned, which is why the people are confused with albinos.

The concept of these images is to reinforce that not everyone conforms to the beauty standards of society and that people can look 'otherworldly' while still having aspects of beauty.

"the series is not about people who are 'different'  from the norm. other people become ' different because other people think they are"

De Wilde exaggerates the pale textures of their skin by placing her models in front of a cold colourless background. The lighting looks fairly soft and forgiving.

The average thought for the images seems to be a perception of vulnerability. whilst being a thing of beauty. The whiteness of the images and people shot could make the rest of us think that these people are fragile and vulnerable.
