These are black and white photos of an up-and-comer singer named Skylar Grey. She sang the demo version of the song Love the Way You Lie (Part II) and has been featured on songs like, I Need a Doctor by Dr Dre and Coming Home by Diddy-Dirty Money.
The reason I think they relate to society is because of how the photos actually look, not because of what they're trying to portray about the singer. It shows how easily something can no longer be used because of its mass popularity/over-use. It also shows that, once something becomes successful, many people will try to grab onto that success so they can get a chunk of it for themselves. The photos resemble the character Lisbeth Salander from the Millennium trilogy.
The styling and mood makes you see the similarities between the photos. This will probably not work in Skylar Grey's favour, especially if someone saw the photo and not the caption of who it was. When I first saw it, I thought it was a promotional picture for the Millennium trilogy, not for a singer.
This is a picture of the singer Skylar Grey. They do have some similarities (Lisbeth and Skylar) but the stylists and photographer should've been more aware.
It's inspirational to me because I want to try to my hardest to be as original as possible. It's almost impossible knowadays, but I definitely don't want my work to be confused with someone else.
