Gottfried Helnwein Photo
In this image a man is climbing up a person's face with a rope. The man is scaled down compared to the girl in order to show the size difference and why he has to clime up her face. This is an artistic image that is heavily photoshopped. The photographers intent was to clearly compare men and women on some aspect. He does this by resizing either the man or girl to show a difference. This image wants to show the woman as innocent, as she is colored a pale and powdery color. Perhaps the author is showing how much this man will go through in order to win the woman over, as he is shown struggling to climb up her. The difference in scale adds to my interpretation because the woman could easily see and be noticed by the man, though the man has to climb far to be noticed by her.
