light photos

photographers

this image is one of cindy shermans earlier work. i looked at cindy shermans work alot for my alevel work, and found her really interesting with the way she works. my favourite thing about the way she works is that she uses herself as the model in the photograph.

i really like this image of fay godwins, i think the way that shes focused on just one of the sculptures but left the others in the background so they are noticable works really well. i also think it would not look as good as a colour image as it leaves the colour to imagination.

after researching steven kleins work i decided that i wasnt very keen on him as a photographer. i think that his images are very shocking and quite disturbing to look at, mainly the images where hes made it look like the people have cut throats & other various body parts.

i was looking at john blakemores work and it didnt really appeal to my taste until i saw this image which really caught my eye. the reason why it caught my eye is because i felt that it looked like a type of photogram rather than an photogram of flowers which in my opinion made it more interesting.

sara moons photographs weren't really to my taste either, but what i liked about this photo is the way that shes used the yellow to make the person stand out, it really contrasts it well.

out of all the 6 photographers annie leibovitz has to be my favourite after coming across her disney portraits for the disney land paris exhibition. i love the way that the people in the images are celebrities who are playing the characters and the way that the photos sort of look very painting like.

3x3 magazine

I was looking at different illustration magazines and came across the 3x3 magazine, this one really caught my eye as the illustrations used in it were really unique and different, and they were images that you wouldnt really see in a children's book but more for adults to understand.

Laura Carlin

After researching a few illustrators work, i found that laura carlin was the persons work that i found the most exciting and interesting. The reason that her work appealed to me was because all the work of hers that i found included her illustrations on cermaics, which makes it different to just using paper. The photo above was my favourite because i like the way the buildings and vehicles are not perfect and straight, i think this is what makes the work look more like an illustration than a piece of ceramic work.
