THE CONTEXT: This photo is one of many from a body of work called the birthday party, this photo, along with all the others features a young child dressed for a costume party, some of the outcomes are innocent or others like the above have a dark twist.
TECHNICAL: The photo is well lit and sharp with a simple background. The camera is placed so the shot includes 3/4 of the subjects body, it also faces the subject straight on. The colour has also been reduced (desaturation) to appear dull and unnatural. Your eyes are also drawn to the dolls as it is the focal point of the photo and contains brighter contrasting colours.
AESTHETIC: Personally I like this photo because although the girl alone would appear innocent the addition of the dolls creates an illusion of power and darkness.
