   Tracey Moffatt's use of gels and colour temperature. The photos created tell a story, the use of bright colour, very dramatic. The characters are quiet different, the woman looks to be dreaming of what could have being. The red gel is very prominent in the foreground and this enhances her dress, drawing the eye to the face.

   Tracey Moffatt's lighting is very bold and warm temperature. The mid ground reflection gives an illusion  of water. The gels create a pinky, purple colour in the foreground. Contrasting image. PDF details below on "Moving Images" a good read. (above)
