American Psycho

Analysis on photograph:

For my final American Psycho photograph I wanted the scene to look very clean, simple and tidy. You can see on the left hand side one bedside table, as Patrick Bateman lives alone. The items in the room are very black and white, including the prostitute. This has all be carefully planned which reflects Patrick Batemans character.

What also works really well is the reflection of Patrick Bateman and his axe on the wall. This really highlights the fact that Bateman is a serial killer and will kill this young lady.

Because Patrick Bateman is sitting on the left at the back and the prostitute on the right, front side, you get a really good sense that she doesn’t know what is going to happen to her until it is to like, this works really well.

I had to play around with the image on Photoshop to get the colours right. For a start the photograph was to dark and was a strange orange colour. I worked on this for a while and made the photograph bluer; this makes the photo look more real.
