In Class: Visuals

My attention was drawn right to the cigarette, because when you see someone smoking a cigarette it usually says something about the person. Also this is a little girl smoking this cigarette, so it says that she is rebellious or maybe making poor decisions. In our society smoking is frowned upon because of the negative effects of it, so when you see someone smoking a cigarette you usually have a negative attitude towards this person.
The image kind of has a focus on the cigarette because it's dead in the middle of the picture, and the lighting on it makes it like bright. And then the girl has a white dress on so all the focus is just right in the center. The girls face is really depressed looking and she has bags under her eyes. Looks like she might be in a park. Looks like there is someone in the background watching her. The girl smoking looks like she could be older, but then again the girl next to her is really young. She is standing like she wants to look like she is older. The lights at the top of the picture look like they are highlighting her. Maybe she is smoking because she wants to be the center of attention. She is in the center of the picture.
I would say the image is pretty sad, it looks like the girl is upset or mad. The other girl is standing with her hands at her hips, so maybe she is mad at the girl smoking the cigarette. The girl with the cigarette is holding it like she doesn't care. The colors are just black and white so it adds to the depressing feel of the picture.
The purpose of this image is draw on the emotions of the viewer. Maybe this girl is having troubles in her life and has turned to smoking cigarettes to deal with her issues. Supposed to make the viewer feel sorry for her, because this girl looks like she could use some help. The image name is Candy Cigarette so maybe its supposed to make a false assumption to the viewer.
