Slater Bradley Analysis


Slater Bradley

This self portrait shows a very sad, depressing looking young man, wearing a dull grey cardigan with a bright white shirt. His facial expressions give off the effect that he might be sad, or upset, as well as his hair being over his eyes, gives the effect that he doesn't really want to be photographed. In the background there is, what looks like the side of a house, it looks as if it has been blurred, to give the main focus on the main subject, the man. The setting seems to be possibly somewhere around the coastal areas, but with a dark day with not much sunlight.

This image is part of Slater Bradley's Doppelganger trilogy, from 2001-4.

In this image, the man is in a very stationary stance, with his shoulders forward and neck shrugged, this makes the image seem very dull and expressionless, but also gives it a rather dramatic effect. This portrait gives off a late 2000's time period, maybe somewhere around 2007-2009, it just had a very modern style to the photograph, especially with the clothes that the subject is wearing.
