I have found some amazing new research that has really
helped me on deciding how I want my images to look. These images below indicate
the type of images I want to create. One really dark image of the subject close
up and one of them in a location that I think resembles my idea of them.
Below are 2 examples of beautiful images by Sylvie Bendel , One
of a stunning close up portrait of a subject, and another of a man out in the
street.
This is such a stunning image, the white of the subjects
eyes really stands off the page and grabs your attention. It maybe looks
as though the photographer has dodged them in the darkroom to make them crisp
and white. The lighting coming down as the subject looks up really
captures the eyes and also pulls the features out. It also highlights the contrast of the dirt on
the subjects skin and almost creates a pattern of tones. the composition of the image also helps the image have a
strong impact. The dark negative space that the subject is looking into, gives
you more chance to pay attention to the face and especially the eyes. A truly beautiful portrait in my opinion.
What I like about this image is that fact that the viewer is
looking down at the subject I don’t think that this is done in a ‘im better
than you way’ but it gives you full view of the subject, but also gives a lot of
detail to add the image because of what you can see in the background. I also
like the fact that the photographer has chosen to capture the tram in the
image.
As well as giving me great inspiration these images have
also helped me as I always doubt myself using black and white all the time and
think that I should experiment with colour. However these show that black and
white prints have a real timeless look to them.
