Another photographer I am looking at is Robert Mapplethorpe. He his known for working in mainly black and white and only started using colour towards the end of his career/life. The image below is a self portrait of himself. I like the image as like the previous one of Michael Caine by David Bailey, it is also in black and white. The lighting in this image is lighter around the face yet I think it works and matches the image well and him. He reminds me, personally, of someone out of the film Grease or somebody from that era because of his hairstyle and leather jacket and cemented the idea by having the cigarette hanging out of his mouth. This also is similar to the David Bailey Michael Caine shot.
