This image was an image that I found when researching 'day and night juxtaposition' and is one of the images that related to both the theme of juxtaposition and one of my ideas but also reflects the style of Frank Gohlke, specifically his aftermath series. This image shows a clear juxtapostion of time of day but also how the surroundings of a place can change depending on what time of day you capture the image.

I was inspired by this image as I feel as though it is a good representative of the theme of juxtaposition. In my opinion, this image could connote that the subject of the image has conflicting emotions, one of which being the emotion she shows on the outside and the other being her internal emotions. I feel as though I could use this in my juxtaposition photography and run with the theme of a juxtaposition of emotion.

In my opinion, this image shows a clear juxtaposition of colour and how colour or lack of colour can affect the tone and mood of an image. In this image, the left third of the composition has a telephone box that has been left in its vibrant colour. The middle third and right third are in black and white. The part of the composition that is in black and white connotes more sinister feelings, whilst the vibrancy of the red phone box connotes a happier feeling.

I was inspired by this image to create a series of images that relates to the juxtaposition between cartoon and real life. In particular, this image had inspired me to find an artist (Alana Dee Haynes) that uses cartoon like drawings on real life images of models. In my opinion, it is clear that this is juxtaposition photography but could also connote a juxtaposition between emotions and how someone feels both internally and externally.

This image is an image by artist Alma Haser in which she creates a professional style image, and juxtaposes that with a crumpled up version of the same photo and places it with the original. This inspired me to create a similar style of images in which I take professional style photos and experiment with the different ways that I am able to make it look less professional and show clear juxtaposition in my work.

This particular image is an image by photographer John Stezaker and to me, this image connotes that this particular landscape or place that he has photographed, is the subject's favourite place or a memory from the mind of the subject. This shows a juxtaposition between landscape and portrait but also a contrast in emotions. I also feel that it is an abstract image due to the fact that the landscape image is upside down.

This is an interesting image to me as it appears to be a collage style image in which the artist has collated many different images and put them together to create a composition. This is a direct juxtaposition to how compositions are usually put together and it gives the overall composition and interesting feel. Additionally, it could connote that although people are different, we are all able to use our voice to speak up against important issues
