Photography;

looking at the work of Photographers...

Annie leibovitz

This photograph is staged; I feel that it is meant to reflect juxtaposition between the glamorously dressed women (Quen Stefani) and the back street with motorcycles on the road. I like this photograph because the colour palette has been considered and thought out well even down to the reflection colour that the light gives. The composition on the women makes her seem very powerful with out being dominating. The way that the photograph has been composed makes it clear that Annie intended people to look at the whole mes en scene.

 

Robert Doisencau

This photograph has a warm charm to it. The composition draws you in the loving couple and the bike in the background. The couple being off centre again allows the view to consider the whole mes en scene, this in return gives the viewer more enigma codes to read about the couples relationship.

Richard Avedon

This photograph captures a very intimate and private moment for women. It highlights the concentration and the amount of time it takes to maintain vanity as women. Composition of the photograph makes it clear that Richard intended for the women to be the focus point of the photograph because it is capturing her beauty.

 

Fay Godwin

The movement that Fay captures in this photograph is what draws me to it. The bright light makes the land seem all the more powered by the sky. I like the contrasting central line that flows through the photograph of the very hard dark house/ building.

Sally Mann

Sally captures the attitudes of the young girls. The young girls seem to have been represented as mischievous and strong willed. The way that the girl in this photograph doesn't look at the camera captures a character who doesn't seem phased by the camera. I like that the creature she is holding covers her nude body.  

Corinne Day

I like that Corinne's photographs completely captures the personality of the models. She doesn't have rehearsed poses in front of her. This photograph of Kate Moss laughing seems very genuine and as though this is how Kate should be represented as a beauitful person but a real character behind the beauty.
