BARBARA KRUGER- my example

This my image inspired by Barbara Kruger work. I’ve token several images of positive and negative portraits and chose one for this final image. Using the idea of the face being split in three parts to create a negative portrait, using the statement 'We are not what we seem'.

BARBARA KRUGER- artist research



Barbara Kruger is an American conceptual artist. Much of her work consists of black-and-white photographs overlaid with declarative caption. By 1979, Kruger stopped taking photographs and began to employ found images in her art, mostly from mid-century American print-media sources, with words collaged directly over them like this image and her work because i like how se write bold statements on pictures. I think she wrote this slogan to show that women should not be underestimated and should be taken seriously as they are strong and powerful. I think she chose this specific background image because she's making a serious expression helping the photographer make her statement.

My example of second double exposure of Thomas's work



This is my second example of Thomas's work. it's similar to my previous work but quite different ; darker.

My example of Thomas Couderc's work

This is my image inspired by Thomas Couderc Clement Vauchez photography work. I combined two images that i chose from several other which captures the most emotions shown by the model; one showing anger and the other showing depression. i like this image because it somehow looks like as if the model is stressed out or angry in the inside but totally not showing it on the outside and just looking sad. I used the colour blue to show sadness as it’s a cold colour and the colour to show anger as it’s a hot colour.

Thomas Couderc Clement Vauchez- artist research



This image is by the photographer Thomas Couderc Clement Vauvhez. BĂȘtes de Mode (Beasts of Fashion). Models were superimposed on to various beasts of the animal kingdom. The works were displayed at Galleries Lafayette Boulevard Hausmann. I like it when he combines the two images in a way making it look as if that model represents that specific animal. What's interesting about this image is how one eye of the model is shown with one eye of the wolf. I will try to do this on my own.

Scott Jarvie- my example



This is my image inspired by Jarvie Window style images. I used a ring flash and a wide angled lens to achieve this affect. I asked Tianna to put her hands in the foreground so they would become slightly distorted by the lens and so it gives the image a different perspective. Her eye colour is very pretty which gives the photograph a nice touch of the colour blue. The photograph makes the audience think that Tianna is watching something that is curious about.

Dan Mountford- my example


This is my own example of Dan Mountford inspired work. I’ve token a multiple of images of landscapes and portraits and finally chose the best to combine and I lowered the opacity to make this transparent effect. I like how the tree texture in the background combines with the girl’s face which gives it that interesting touch that I spoke about before in my artist research on Dan Mountford.

Dan Mountford- artist research

This is an image by Dan Mountford using double exposure. I like this style and i think it is a very interesting and unique concept. I especially like this example because of the added work of the connected dots that show her face structure slightly. I think this is what adds an interesting touch to the image as it shows detail in the face. Mountford has used at least two images to produce this final image. Layering the portrait with an image of trees and buildings, Mountford has added texture to the image. I also like this image because you cannot see the girl's face which makes it anonymous and more intriguing to the viewer.

My own Lucas Simoes


This is my own example of Simoes grid.  I’ve token three images showing different emotions. i used textured templates to get the grid effect that is inspired by Lucas Simoes portrait work.

Lucas Simoes- artist research

This an example of Lucas Simoes portrait work, made by a multiple of images combined together. I like this very unique and different style of work. We used texture templates on top of three different portraits (each portraying a different emotion) and eventually, combined all of the layers to make the desired effect.

Scott Jarvie window- artist research


 003_3S22562


This is an image taken by Scott Jarvie using a wide angle lens and a flash ring. I find this style really unique and give an interesting point of view which sets his portraits apart from other traditional photographers. By putting the hands on the flash ring they seem much larger as they are closer to the wide angled lens which gives a peculiar affect. The dark background also gives an unusual perspective. The 'window' of the flash is an impressive idea and I had fun when I attempted to recreate this style.
