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 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.
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
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.
