This photograph has a variety of elements to it, especially seeing as a portion of the image is in black and white while the rest is in color. Inside the broken mirror you can vaguely see a girl curled up in a corner with her head in her knees. This portion of the photo is in black and white in order to evoke more of the emotion of sadness, sorrow, and pain. But the outside of the photo is bright and colorful as to imitate the front that she puts up to the world, acting happy and joyful when really she is anything but.
2. Evaluate Why This Image is Successful
This image is successful because it tells a story through just looking at it, no words are needed to explain. But the viewer could also be creative with their ideas of what is occurring in the image. Combining the black and white portion with the color also adds more depth to the image and forces the viewer to take another glance. A picture is worth a thousand words and you never know the true story behind an image.
