Robert Mapplethorpe focused on timeless elegance when photographing flowers. He wanted to transform a ordinary object into a important contemporary theme. This image especially appears to glow from the centre of the flower. Although this is a still image, the composition and colour portrays the flower as full of life and vibrant. The pale yellow colour of the flower contrast the subtle purple background, this makes the flower look abstract and unreal. This image is simple however it appears to be masking a complex meaning which the audience could interpret themselves. Overall this photograph has a central focus which is the flower to try and turn the flower from something simple to a object with a level of depth and importance.
This photograph has a central focus of the flower itself. The photograph is designed to make the audience lose their thoughts when looking at it. The blurred background is representing the rushing around within life and the still flower is representing a calm being who is pushing through all the rushing around and being individual. The individual flowers are almost merging together and creating one large flower.This flower is being changed from a simple object to a representative of a persons a life.
Overall these two photographs connect as they both have the some theme which is flowers. Also they are both trying to change a simple object into something which has a depth of meaning and importance. The audience for both of these photographs would be able to lose their thoughts when looking at it and have there own interpretation of it. Lastly both photographs have a central focus which keep the audience focused on the flowers.
