Tina Modotti By Edward Weston 1923

This image of photographer Tina Modotti looks more to modernism, by photographing his lover in the daylight Edward Weston captures the photographers body in such detail to make the curves and features stand out. The photograph does make you wonder why Tina Modotti is not connecting with the photographer as they are romantically involved, it is as if he is looking past who she is and there relationship to keep the photograph purely focused on her body. Looking were this photograph might have been taken i no that by the sharp shadow underneath her, the sun was blazing down on to the nude body, giving us a bit more of an insight as to were this photograph was shot. Looking at the brick pattern on the floor it almost contrast with her silky smooth body making the textures of this photograph stand out even more to me.
