Artist Research - Kaylynn Deveney

Now that I have decided on a subject matter I have a better direction to take my research in. my initial thoughts brought me to this photographer. I was introduced to their work in college and have always found there documentary style appealing. I like the writing on the bottom of the images, almost like what you would expect to find at the bottom of a Polaroid.      

I like how the text at the bottom of the image is explaining what is going on in the image. Even though some are simply documenting the task, others give a little insight to the person, maybe they are little quotes of what they see in the image.       

   

What I like about these images is the simplicity. The images are of a single subject just doing day to day activities that he would normally be doing. The photographer has thought of interesting ways to compose the image, this is what I find interesting. For example the way the subject has been framed by the pajama bottoms.

The lighting on the two bottom images is also really nice, possibly natural lighting from the window? But it really highlights the subject and makes him stand away from the dark background.
