Short Story

• The first thing i noticed when looking at this photo was the dark liquid surrounding the subject, this being reflective automatically draws you attention and makes you look for possible meaning's behind the photo!.
• I think in this photo the lady is alive but she experiencing pain of some kind, she looks oblivious to her surroundings and lost in thought. When i read the story behind the title Ophelia it would make sense that she is feelings this thought and i feels thats why this emotion is being captured and displayed.
• This photo was taken during the day and either early morning or sunset, they way the light is coming through the windows it looks as if the sun in low in the sky.
• This photos background settings are a typical 80's sort of house, however the mood the settings gives is a sense of cold and empty there is a lot going on in this photo but it doesn't seem as if they interact together to give a warm feeling.
• There is a housecoat over the staircase banister and slippers on two separate stairs, this implies that the subject took them of whilst still walking instead of taken them of and putting them in certain area, there is also a brown object at the back of the stairs that I think is a cabinet.
• The subject is not wearing shoes but the slippers on the stairs implies that she was at one point.
• Ophelia is a fictional character in the play Hamlet by William Shakespeare. She is a young noblewoman of Denmark, the daughter of Polonius, sister of Laertes, and sweetheart of Prince Hamlet. The character commits suicide in the novel, she is said to have climbed up a tree and the branch broke and she feel into a broke and she drowned.
