research

i am going to be researching some other portrait photographers

Anders Petersen

Anders petersens work is rather unique as mainly all of the photos he uploads are all in black and white and that his photos mainly consist of people having a good time or having a party. this is just one example of his work. The lighting in this photograph shows that is aimed at the model from above the photographer. The aperture as well is really strong as it blurs past the models shoulders and is hard to make out what is in the background. The frame itself is in the perfect place as the expression of the model shows what the image beholds.

this is just one of many examples of this photographers 

Diane arbus

Diane arbus is a very famous photographer and one of her most famous pictures is that of the twins which you may have seen. Diane arbus likes to work in filtered images as well but her images always look saddening and depressive. Here is an example of her work. The lighting in this image suggests that the light source is aimed at the model again from above the photographer  because the shadows suggest that. Cropping out the top of the image does not matter to much as most of the quality is focused on the face of the model.

this image shows that age can make a difference on what your face can tell others.

Irving Penn

Irving penn is another famous photographer who does most of his imagery in black and white. Irving penns style of photography is where the model is always on an angle and looking either away or toward the camera. Here is some of Irving pens work. the model had a reflector on their right hand side but pointing down towards the model

The background of this image really effects the outcome.

Roger Ballen
roger ballen has some very interesting work as again all of his pictures are in black and white. roger ballen has worked with a band called die antwood and most of his pictures consist of pictures of die antwood and here is a picture of one of then lead singers.

this image is taken in water to give a reflected light background

Larry clark
Larry clark is a rather unique and explicit photos who's work i am not going to show. This style of photography is and can be frowned upon as most of his models are nude but he is a very successful 

research model

I have the idea of making the model which is Sarah Alyce (right) to make the scene of a tragedy

unfolding. To create the effect of sadness i wanted to put mascara coming down her face to make it look as if she is crying. I wanted to, in a way, recreate this image (left) in my own kind of style. this kind of image wouldn't be to hard to recreate but it all depends on how the make-up looks on the model. I will need to use mascara to create thew crying effect on the model and i will also include a dark navy blue jacket to have around her shoulders to create the effect of a tragedy having taken place. 

final shoot

For my final shoot i have decided to set the tone of a post apocalyptic scene in the future. I have brought in a few props for the model to use for the shoot. I have brought in a baggy dark blue jacket for her to put around her shoulders. I have also brought in a blunted small sword for her to hold as if she is defending herself. Also i wanted to keep the idea from last week of her crying with make-up as if she doesn't want to be there

These are the two final images i will be using for the exhibition as these are the two images that i am most happy with. both of these images for me look like she has truly been hurt in her life as if somebody close to her is gone she has nobody else.
These are the two images unedited

in the end and on the day of the shoot i had decided to choose the image on the left and crop the image down to 16" wide and 20" long
the outcome of the picture came out like this

I am really pleased with the outcome of this image as it shows vulnerability in the picture a well as sadness and shows the model being ominous.
