The Evolution Of Britney Spears

Like the previous magazine cover this image has used is a mid long shot to primarily focus on the upper half of Britney’s body. This image has also been cropped and framed to show Britney’s upper body in more detail. I believe that this image was edited in this way to appeal to a male audience with reference of a sexual nature.

Britney’s costume in this photo or lack of costume portrays her in an extremely sexual manner but like the previous cover there are contradictions to this character if we look close at her costume we can see that she has a pink frill on her underwear which can indicate or portray an image that again she is still a young girl and not quite matured yet. I believe that this image wants Britney to have an intimate relationship with her audience, it’s like as if she wants to engage to a new audience in a way she hasn’t done before, a new side of Britney perhaps. Also the way she is posing looks as if she is inviting the audience to go somewhere with her.

The setting of the photograph also condones to this very sexual and mature image Britney is trying to send to her audience. The setting consists of Britney leaning on to a bedroom wall with nothing more than a towel covering her body. The connotations of this image are that Britney’s character is quite sexual and mature, also the way that she is posing as mentioned before looks as if she is inviting her audience to see a new side of her and possibly go somewhere with her. Also in this image Britney looks as if she is teasing her audience by revealing most of her body to the camera but using a towel to cover the front of her body.

The lighting in this image is used to focus on the more exposed parts of Britney’s body so that the audience are more drawn to the more highlighted and exposed parts of the photo. Also the lighting on this makes Britney’s skin look softer and it gives her skin a very soft glow as well which can be used to make her look natural and also to condone to the sexual pose she is doing for the photo.

The colours used in this cover are very similar to the previous cover’s colours. Such colours like pink and white give the image a very soft, gentle and feminine look which contradicts the sexual image that Britney is giving. Also the use of pink used on Britney’s costume can also contradict the sexually mature image she is giving by creating a character which shows that Britney is not yet a woman and still has the style’s and personality of a young girl.
