Research Log



Amy Spanos


http://amyspanos.blogspot.co.uk


Amy Spanos uses a lot of colour in her work, as you can see in the image above she uses particular reds, oranges, browns to create a warm sensation but also by use sing these the girl in the centre becomes an anomaly as she is made up of primarily white excluding the brown coat. This is a great example of her work in the way colour is used, she tends to create weird and abnormal photos and colour is a great way to do that.


Ansel Adams

Adams use of depth and tone is widespread across his work. Adams photography focuses on nature and wildlife, with this he he uses a few of the formal elements such as depth, rhone and form making his pictures seem 3-D and alive.

Tim Page


http://www.timpage.com.au


Page is a war photographer a lot of his work is taken from the sky, in doing he captures the path ways, streams, roads or anything that could become a line from further away. I believe he captures lines in a very interesting way, as it is all natural but used in a different way.                                                        


Sam Taylor-Johnson

Sam Taylor-Johnson takes weird photos that I feel are surrounded by the formal element of form, form is in all of her work and it is used in ways such as the image above, I believe this to be a good example of her work as it shows the weirdness or her work but then the formal elements, such as in the one above i can see form and maybe some colour as well as lines.

Diane Arbus 


http://diane-arbus-photography.com


Diane Arbus also known as 'The Photographed of Freaks'. She takes photos of the physically abnormal and the mentally, usually portrait photos and she uses the formal elements of tone and form. As you can see above the use of form works well as he is almost popping out of the image, I believe this photo shows Arbus' work and what she is interested in.

Nick Ut




Ut took a lot of the his photos during Vietnam, he took photos of the destruction and danger the war had and how it effected people's lives. Tone is used a lot in his work to bring emotion to his photographs he is trying to capture pain and let you know what these people have gone through. 

The Wade Brothers

The Wade brothers consist of David Lindsey Wade and Lydon wade, together they use colour, tone, reflection, form and basically any formal element they can get their hands on, they are incredibly creative taking original and fun photos.

Dimitris Theocharis

Theocharis focuses on people and having them photographed in a what he believes sexy way, occasionally they'll do nudes but mainly he will use tone and colour to bring the people in the images to life.

Luigi Bussolati

Bussolati uses a lot of colour in his work, from pictures of nature to a motherboard turned sky line. His use of colour changes your perspective on the image and you see something different as the image above is almost city like surrounded by the blue sky and blue waters.

新着ポートフォリオ3

Yasuda  uses form, tone, colour and movement in their photos in an attempt to grab your attention and it works, their work is very fun to look at. The use of people brings what would be a typical building or road into a great photo.

Henrik Knudsen





Knudsen is a clever photographer who uses colour and movement with a range of other formal elements to bring their images to life. Their work is weird and wonderful, leaving you to figure out the story behind it.

Nicholas Samaras





Samaras takes photos underwater, this brings a whole new world into our own. You're greeted by aliens on his front page as the underwater world takes over ours. It's truly amazing the photos Samaras has taken. 

Alex Prager





Prager is a weird artist whose work varies but always has a grip on the viewer, I find his work to be creative and fun, using formal elements such as phone he really paints a picture.

Erik Johansson




crome

Erik is a very strange artist who photographs what he cans and in the editing process turns them into masterpieces, the one above it just a taster of the weirdness Erik offers, from waterfall roads to impossible paths your world really is changed by simply viewing his work.

Paul Harries






Paul Harries is an amazing photographer who has worked with company's such as Kerrang magazine, he photographers bands especially in their crazy state, using colour to bring them to life along with tone and many others.


Scott Kelby




Scott Kelby, he focuses on people. Through sports, fashion, beauty and the military Kelby looks at people and how they look, he wants his photos to be just as beautiful as the people in them.

Margaret Bourke-White

White is a WWII photographer, some of her work detailing soldiers but mostly of the people of New York around the time of war. One of her most famous photos being Ghandi, White has taken some inspirational photos.

Strand's work is very diverse, ranging from people to landscapes to buildings, whatever Strand wanted to he did. A lot of his work covers many subjects leaving an impront on the viewers mind.

Ellen Von Unwerth




Unwerth is a model turned photographer, working with magazines such as Vouge and celebrities such as Joseph Jordan-Levitt, Emma Watson and Claudia Schiffer. Unwerth's work is usually pretty weird and very sexual.
