The colour scheme in this image is black and white, the background is low contrast as they are similar greys however there is a high contrast between the deep black jumper and the bright white of the swan. The image is using natural lighting from the sun. There is also a shallow focus as the background is blurred making him and the swan more of a focus in the image. The shutter speed would be fast as the grass in the background appears to be blowing in the wind that would be present. The Mise en-scene in this image includes his costume as he is purposely wearing a deep black jumper so that it contrasts with the swan, there is also use of a prop which is the swan and this is used for the colour scheme and the high contrast. Also the setting Is important here as the background is not to distracting so it doesn’t take the main focus away from his face and the swan.
