Juxtaposition

My favourite definition of juxtaposition comes from the “Dictionary of Art Terms” on “BluemoonWebDesign.com”. They state that Juxtaposition is “the act of placing or positioning items in the image area side by side or next to one another to illustrate some comparison.” This definition clearly tells us that Juxtaposition doesn’t just mean “contrast” as I had previously believed.

I decided to take a photograph of my girlfriend Lindsay holding a Polaroid camera whilst looking at some of the photographs that she had taken.

Lindsay is a photographer, however she doesn’t shoot with a Polaroid camera. I took some of her photographs and created the “Polaroids” in Photoshop, these can be seen below in more detail.
