Representations

The Man:

My first impression of this man was that he might be poor, and maybe even homeless, as he has patches on his trousers and is wearing a scruffy cardigan which is done up wrong.
However, when you look more closely, you can actually see that the patches on his trousers are sewn on very neatly and his shoes are from a designer collection.
Also, all of his clothes fit him and are clean, which would not be the case if he was poor.
In reality, he works for Ralph Lauren and is actually very fashion-conscious, despite what our first impressions are.







The Man 2:

My first thoughts of this man were that he was maybe a university professor/lecturer, because he is dressed smartly and is holding pieces of paper that maybe he's going to speak from.
This just proves that our judgements of people are wrong, some of the time, as this man is actually Ted Bundy, the serial killer, responsible for killing 30-35 women approximately.
His clean-cut appearance and good looks are probably what made the women think him to be safe, as we do, too, at first glance.






The Woman:

When I first looked at this picture, I wasn't sure as to whether it was of a man or a woman, as the person photographed looks very eccentric and is wearing a lot of make-up, and the fact that hair is covering some of their face and a hat is being worn makes identifying him/her more difficult.
Obviously they are wearing women's clothes, but that doesn't mean much nowadays.
After being told that it was indeed a woman posing, I thought that she might be rich, as even though her clothes don't match and are not exactly what regular people wear, they do look like they would be expensive to buy, and she looks very poised and confident.
Furthermore, I found out that her name was Anna Piaggi, and though you may not think she looks good, she actually works for Vogue.
