In this take, the model wears a red dress, and is contrasted against the side of a truck covered with graffiti. Though busy, the background art does not distract, as it is fairly monochromatic. In fact, the sinuous curves echo and compliment the models form. Repeating forms help to emphasize and highlight features and lend interest to the overall composition. In art and photography, the artist should pay attention to forms, colors and line. Always direct the gaze to the peripheral margins. Does the background work?
