Calypso uses women in her images to portray disappointments. She expresses what women will do to enhance themselves or a situation. Her photos are usually exaggerated for a more interesting photo using things like wigs, strange masks, and body paint.
All of the pictures are made in softer colors rather than bright or neon colors. There is not a lot of emphasis on the models actual face. She usually has the model turned or wearing a mask. Same as with nudes, they are covered in paint or in another picture the nude is covered in bubbles. I really like the idea of not showing the face because it can be distracting and change what the photo is about.
What caught my eye with these pictures was that they just looked really strange. The muted colors in the background and then the model wearing a bright red wig just didn't match but made me want to look at more of her pictures. At first I thought that maybe her photos were about personal insecurities. After reading about Calypso I found that her pictures are about disappointments. I think that these disappointments could have been a result of trying to over come insecurities.
