This picture reminds me of certain aspects in my life and personality and how I fight for what I believe in similar to whats represented in this picture which is a narrative photo to empower women and portray the power of women.
The view of this photo is from a side on view of Beyonce's face, her jaw is turned to the right and slightly raised and her eyes narrow. This facial expression makes me think that she's confident and sure of what she's standing up for with her arm outstretched to show strength. It portrays a feeling of hope and aspiration for women and that we are equally as strong as men and can do anything that we like hard or not. Gold is used in this picture to show wealth and power and also her status aswell with the jewellery being very angular with alot of triangles used. In a larger version of this picture you can see that she is wearing what looks like a contempory version of a crown. The Red flags used in the picture almost give a sense that this is an important cause all over the world and that she wants everyone to pull together much like a country or nation would.
Focusing on the top image, I think the photographer wants you to see the emotion that Beyonce is showing and how passionate and driven she is. She does remind me of a queen in the image as she is already seen as 'Queen B' she represents the fight for equality for women so this photo shows how she thinks all women should be seen and should see themselves.
To summarise this photo has made me think about my aspirations and what I hope to achieve, it tells me that I have to believe in what I'm passionate about. The photographer has done a very good job in shooting this and has succeeded in making us as an audience see the emotion and feeling behind it.
