FINAL IMAGE - Dan Mountford

This is my image inspired by Dan mountford. When I did an example of his work i really liked his work so I decided to make the technique that i used in his work to be used in my final portrait project. I layered a portrait and a landscape of my choice over each other on Photoshop. Then I lowered the opacity until I was able to see where the portrait is and to decide where i want it to be. Afterwards I added a layer mask on the portrait layer the rubbed away with low opacity until I was satisfied with what part of the landscape was showing. I want to do more like his work in the future too.

Arnold Newman- My own

This is my own image as an example of Arnold Newman's enviroment portrait works. The idea of this photograph and hie work is to capture an image with a background that reflects the enviroment that the person in the picture lives in and experience through their life. As shown in this image the background is an art-pottery room, with paints and pots shown in the image it tells the viewer what kind of enviroment that the model works in. I like this kind of photography as it has meaning and a story behind the image taken this way.

 

Arnold Newman- Artist research

Newman found his vision in the empathy he felt for artists and their work. Although he photographed many personalities. Newman is often credited with being the first photographer to use so-called environmental portraiture, in which the photographer places the subject in a carefully controlled setting to capture the essence of the individual's life and work. Newman normally captured his subjects in their most familiar surroundings with representative visual elements showing their professions and personalities. A musician for instance might be photographed in their recording studio or on stage, a Senator or other politician in their office or a representative building.

Stina Persson - my example

This image inspired by Stina Persson watercolour work. This portrait shows a fashion illustration inspired portrait. In this image the 'watercolour paper' layer is adding a texture to my work o make it more like a painting.  I like how there isn’t any sharp edges and totally looks like it was painted. Also, even though paintings aren't very clear but I like how you can see the model wrapping a section of her hair around her finger. I think i might do something similar to this in my final piece.

STINA PERSSON - Artist research

 

Stina uses a combination of watercolour paints and inks to create vibrant, colourful illustrations with a modern twist. I particularly love how simplistic shapes are transformed with loose watery and painterly effects created when colours bleed, disperse and blend into one another, resulting in usual marks and colours. I like how different images give different vibes as you use different colours to express or show emotons.Her work is simple and fluid in style. I love arty photographs (paint used in the image) for this reason I was instantly drawn to the natural drips, splats and watermarks in her work.

 

My example of Maurizio Galimberti

This is my own photograph inspired by Maurizio Galimberti . I think that this is my favourite piece of work I have done so far in photography. What I did was basically taking pictures of the model as she turns in the chair. As you can see I kept going down with the camera gradually so that you get the full view of what the model is doing .

His collection of mosaic portraits made up of slightly tilted Polaroid photos lined up to show each subject from three different angles. The images seem to capture the celebrities deep in thought, sometimes leaning their head down or placing a hand on their chin. All portraits are arranged in the same order, but the collages are as different as the stars who populate them.
