Work Diary
In this session, we went into the studio to continue work on Mapplethorpe, learning from last time that my compassion was off slightly, I decided that this time I was going to be careful and think about what I was doing. This time round, I didn't have to retake anything and I believe that i had captured Mapplethorpe in the best way that I could.
Here you can see there is less background and the camera is focused on the model, there is no unnecessary background colours or objects it's just a portrait and that is clear to see. This is a good example of a portrait that represents Mapplethorpe, the way he takes portraits of just people being people, the compassion of the photo and the overall feel, to improve though I would use tone to give it a bigger Mapplethorpe feel.
This photo is again very Mapplethorpe, in fact I copied a Mapplethorpe picture here and did my best to create the feeling the Mapplethorpe does in his portraits, I do like this image but I'm not sure it quite has the same effect at Mapplethorpe does in his photos.
To improve me next time, i would like more time to do this kind of work, I do really enjoy it and find it interesting, it would also help perfect my compassion as I'm still aware that not all my photos are perfect.
