In photography there are ranges of types of photography, such as from fashion to architechural photography. In this post i will be exploring 5 variations of photography and explain how a single artist uses this type of imagery in their own individual way.
FASHION
In the gallery above the images approach the audience with a delevopment and unusual style of fashion. The images are all using different postures and postions. The artist for this group of work is known as Nick Knight. Nick Knight is a famous photographer in fashion and other developments. Nick makes his worl successful by using a style in which works known as a contemporary style. If you look at all three images each image is using the same type of lighting which is front lighting. Nick does this to show the true colours of the images. He also uses the same bright colours as if its a signature for his work, but this works as Nick has a basic background image for each images aswell.
In my personal opinion my most prefered image above is the second image shown in the gallery. The reason i like this image is how the main focus point is the fashion but the additional feature in ther image just makes a finishing point for the image. Such as the paint of the wall behind the model links into the image to show a 3D perspective when looking at the fashion. The first thing that catches the human eye in this image is the bunch of feathers which then relate back to the paint wall. Overall i like this image as it shows great depth and contrast.
ADVERTISING
These next few images are all to advertise and promote each of the brands seen in each image. The artist for this work is known as Riccardo Suriano. This famous artist is an italian man who uses his skills wisely. He does this by using unusual features such as the flames in the first image. This would come across as a fast movement captured in an image to show speed in an image.
My favourite image in the range above is the final image as this shows a good depth in an image. The stairs in the image leads the eye to a focal point but before the eye is drawn to the focal point you notice the brand being promoted instantly. This follows the focal point in the image as if your being lead over this bridge with the brand and it stick with you until you have this brand youself.
DOCUMENTARY
This documentary art is delvoped by the artist Robert Capa. Capa uses art and reinactments from world war one in his photography. The last image in this gallery is call 'the falling soilder' and this image comes across with depth and range. In this image the basic photography skills are used. Capa was a classic photographer and uses the rule of thirds in his imagery, also he uses mid shots to show the focal point aswell as a basic surrounding to give more of a mind set to where you would be if you was involed in the image.
My favourite photo in this gallery is the second one in this collection of images. This is because in this image you see everything involed in the world war as if you are entering the war zone from the basics of the boat. This image also shows a long range distance to see whats ahead of you. In the features of the monochrome overlay this image gives off even more of an approach to an audience in which this photo approaches. The audience is also for everyone as it shows variation in every way from landscape views to a column of soliders leading you into the photo.
PORTRAITURE
The images above show a simlar range in work. The images all range from each other with the posture of the model.The artist that created these masterpieces is David Baliey, Baliey apporaches the audience with the 'waves and curves' in his photography. In the clothes or hair of even just an effect creates an curve or wave to follow with the eye. These are the focal points in the imagesand are also the most brightest colours in the image to get straight to the point.
The most prefered image for me is the first image with the blue overlay, this is because Baliey uses a great focal point to catch the eye, this is a great way to look at the image in depth as the blue dulls out the surrounding to have a focus point central in the image.
LANDSCAPE
These wonderful pieces of art came into landscape photography through Fay Godwin. Godwin is a landscape photographer who In the 1990s she was offered a Fellowship at the National Museum of Photography, Film and Television (now the National Media Museum) in Bradford, which pushed her work in the direction of colour and urban documentary. In the images above each photo has an unusual and unique meaning.
