Portraiture - Jill Greenbrg

This artist Jill Greenberg has been in some controversy with certain images she has took for a project in 2006. She took the images, which featured children, for her 'End Times' book. I have selected this image of Gwen Stafani below as it shows a similar theme in this shot as the crying children in the book. Here Gwen's expression is sad and has a single tear running down the cheek. Greenberg may have chosen to take this image as Gwen is a mother and Greenbergs campaign was her frustration at the Christian Fundamentalists and also the Bush administration. Aswell as the sadness, like the children, the cropping is the same and her shoulders are bare like the childrens also, therefore leading me to believe this shot was inspired by her previous images as even the background colour matches.
