Example Duality Images


In my opinion this was the strongest image I found with the huge contrast of black and white. This really stands out as a powerful image and is done just through colour. Black and white could portray good and evil, this is also effective in this image. The white half of the image is more inviting and 'friendly' whereas the black side is more mischievous, especially the eyes having an effect on this. 


Here is another image that has a contrast between black and white. This is not as powerful but still show the effect that opposite colours can have on a image. Another reference to duality in this image would be the fight that is taking place between the two goats. 


Here is a duality between light and dark. The broken light could represent despair and destruction whilst the bright light could be representing hope. This is a really interesting example with it being such a simple image with such a strong effect!


This image seems to be a duality between a high and low brightness. The right face almost looking unedited but contrasting effectively with the face on the left. Both the people appear to be asleep in this image creating a natural look.


This is a image strong image representing life and death. This is a powerful, almost scary image but also my favourite. The black and white effect definitely adds to the effect of the image and makes the 'live' side the image also look sad as if it's representing that someday everyone will die.  


Another image with a huge black and white contrast but with a difference! In this image the black portrays a friendly face and could even represent love. The editing on this image looks to have been done professionally and gives the effect of two different faces with the black face positioned in front of the white face but also gives off the effect of a shadow.


This image looks like it could be used in a horror movie. Both sides of the image represent evil with the black blocking out the facial features, whilst the the white almost makes them stand out. The eyes in the image are the first thing you look at with the face looking straight at the camera giving off the effect of the women looking straight back at you.
