I thought I would post a couple of my influences for this project. Though I did do some research before hand, I have done the majority in between shooting in the studio and after I have actually done and selected my images I would like to work on, then narrowing it down, to eventually choosing my final three images to hand in.
The first few photographers I looked at were Richard Avedon, Irving Penn and David Bailey before I began in the studio. All three of these photographers had mainly all black and white portraits and this influenced me a lot as I really liked their shots and was thinking about making mine in to black and white images as well.
Here are a couple of examples of their work, they will be in order of the artists listed above and I will chose two of their images each. One of each of these images chosen revolutionised photography.
Richard Avedon-
The first image is one of Avedon's most iconic shots. He uses Dovima to create this pose with the elephants. Of Dovima Avedon said “the last of the great elegant, aristocratic beauties… the most remarkable and unconventional beauty of her time” The next image of the woman jumping is also one of his most famous, as it captures the moment and focuses on the woman in action and blurs out the background.
Irving Penn -
The first photo is of the most famous artist Pablo Picasso and was shot in 1957. He uses Pablo's hat and coat to create lines that match that of Pablo's cubism paintings, which he is famous for and harsh light to create vivid shadows on his face.
David Bailey -
The first image of Baileys is one of his most famous fashion shots as it defined itself as being different to what people were used to in a fashion shot. Unlike the stiffness that were in many shots of that time where the models were in the same kind of poses in this shot of Jean Shrimpton she is more lose with her body turned away and her gaze looking down, not necessarily at the camera and also with the motion of her hair, adding something a little different. In the Andy Warhol photo I like how he has used the pose he is in to create
a triangular shape with his body as I thought this was, again, different of that time.
