The photographer combined the photo of a supermarket scene with another photo of a woman (who looks like Jodie Foster) shopping in the fruit section. The background scene has reduced lighting compared to the foreground. The fluorescent lights are blurred (reduced f-stop) to achieve a heavenly look. It tells the story of a woman, perhaps a housewife, who is bored with her life. Like Eve in the garden of Eden, she is tempted to eat the apple and looks up, almost in doubt, as to whether she should. Her nakedness is attributed to her inner desires, which are exposed, making her vulnerable.


A client would opt for a composite photo to make it more powerful, or to tell a story. The added-on photo can either be realistic (to fit the scenario of the subject) or non-realistic (exaggerated or ill-proportioned), in order to give a compelling story. A composite photo can be visually interpreted, without words. One can look at it and get a message that would not be apparent with a straight photo.
