Evanescence - The Open Door

For my new project 'Modern Masters' i have chosen to study and depict the album cover 'The Open Door' by Evanescence. I chose this cover because it shows the contrast between light and dark, pretty and Gothic.
Just by glancing at this image it brings up questions such as; Where is she going? Who is she? What time era is she from? Why is she glancing back? Why is there such a contrast with the dark and light? All these questions i will be looking to find a suitable answer.
Words which i think describe this image are; Fairytale, mysterious, pretty, door, lighting, Gothic and medieval.

The photographer of this photo shoot was a man called Frank Ockenfels. He is a very versatile and flexible photographer who is competent in working with alternative processes. He has a very unique style in presenting his work within a sketch book by using simple line drawings and layers.
 Evanescence are a very unique band and no one has really put a label on what style of music they are. I think the best description of who they are us from lead singer Amy Lee;
We're definitely a rock band, but the twist is that the bands music is epic, dramatic, dark rock.'
