The Significance in Gaga Showing Half Her Face

So for Gaga's first four major releases, Gaga was always facing the camera, facing the audience completely:

So with Gaga's first two releases, Gaga is showing half of a whole of her face, likely representing the yin and yang of The Fame and The Monster, each is apart of the whole picture of Gaga's perception of fame.

Now it seems Gaga is becoming more confident, sharing more of herself, showing her full face and eventually practically everything. With the release of BTW and AP, Gaga unveils many more layers of herself as a person and is no longer the mysterious figure she once was, becoming more public with her relationships and struggles. BTW and AP were Gaga at her most vulnerable, and this is shown through the covers. That brings us to Joanne and ASIB:

With these albums Gaga only shows one side of her face. Could this mean this is a new side of Gaga? Or is Gaga now removing a layer of intimacy? As she is less interactive with fans and has moved into a new direction in her career where acting and other projects begin to become integral and music is still important but only one facet of Gaga?

Except that in BTW she replaced her body with a motorcycle , and in ARTPOP that’s not even Gaga but a Koons statue of her. I would say these two covers show the least of Gaga as a person

But it's still the most we've seen of Gaga's face on an album cover on BTW and the statue is meant to represent Gaga, although it could also represent the superficiality of Gaga's world at the time of recording.

Joanne looks hopeful and she is looking up, probably just mean that she is looking at her aunt in heaven

The newer the album,  the nearer we get to the real Gaga

she's also facing left which symbolises the past, probably meaning looking back to the past when Joanne was alive, if we do get a right side pic it would be looking to the future

I think you’re theory is completely ruined when you reach Joanne. As for TF, TFM, BTW and AP, even though I’m not sure you’re totally right, it’s one way to see things and I’ve seen worst reaches.

But when you talk about Joanne and ASIB, where she is supposed to be her most honest, down-to-earth self, where she is the most faithful to herself, I don’t think it makes any sense to have this kind of theory. The one side of her face is probably just because it looks better.

Kinda agree Joanne isn't more honest than her other albums and that's the the t

Also I love Joanne's album cover but I kinda wish she was smiling in it.

Maybe it's the fact that she was naked from the waist up and it was easier to hide her b00bies from that angle :poot:

I love how old this fanbase is and some stuff got lost in time. Gaga talked about this years ago (during TFM, I think).

 

She just said that she hides something in ever cover (TF was her eyes and in contrast TFM hide the contrary. BTW hides her body and lefts her head only. ARTPOP shows her in full glory but its a statue and then Joanne... She hides One side of her)

This doesnt apply do C2C. 

Theres is no theory here. It is the way she wants it to be. The older monsters may remember when she said it.

I think the "yin and yang" aspect of TF and TFM are likely but I'm not sure about the others

Those are because she's said both albums serve as a yin and yang to one another (sort of).
