Digital Experimentation Theme:Loneliness/Distortion 1

These are some of my Digital Pictures from my Loneliness/Distortion photoshoot. As this picture was originally just a portrait i wanted to use photoshop to distort it in some way and to do this i used the liquidify tool as well as changing the contrast of my image to look more black and white instead of greyscale.

This image is a example of a effect i did with the camera i told my model to shake his head really quite fast and i captured this with a slow shutter speed for 5seconds.I then imported this into photoshop and again made it more contrasty.

In this image I've manipulated it by colorising it black and white as well as burning the photograph using the burn tool to make the whole image convey a gloomy look this way it links into the theme of loneliness and isolation from others. With this composition I've tried to make it look as if the model is playing the guitar for comfort like the guitar is basically his friend, his companion.

This Manipulation is off a tutorial i followed to produce a gritty effect to my images. The enhancement on this image is my favourite out of all the ones I've done i think this is something i will  experiment with more on perhaps more posed images, images that convey the emotion of fear or sadness to link into the theme of emotion.

Developing ideas: Cinemagraphs and Digital Experimentation

This is a GIF i did using photoshop, I did this by first doing a mini photo shoot whereby my model slowly moved her hands to distort her face, then when these photographs were taken i imported them into photoshop and began placing them in frames using the animation window. And this was my result.

This is a David Hockney inspired experimentation, I began by taking images around my model then printed them out and cut and stuck them in a way that distorted the figure but that the multiple viewpoints could be seen.

As its seen my models head appears bigger than his body which relates to my theme of distortion really quite well he also looks like a caricature which is a really nice effect.

Personal Project: 3 Relating Artists

My theme portraiture covers a lot of ideas i've researched some other Photographers that i haven't used before that explore this theme in different styles and ways and amongst who i found:

JAMIE DIAMOND

Jamie is a Contemporary photographer who questions notions of identity, intimacy, and reality in her pieces. She uses role play and constructs events and objects for the camera to capture. The project that most interested me is a project called 'I promise to be a good mother'. In this project Jamie has assumed the role of motherhood and tried to create this image of a 'good' mother using a doll. She got the idea from looking throughout old diaries which she had documented memories as a child and with this project she has tried to bring these memories to life by acting out recalled events and behaviours. Her clothes and style in this are also part of her memory she has dressed up using her mothers old clothes and tried to recreate this look on herself. I really like this idea and how she has explored it with something quite peculiar as a doll visiting real locations and displaying realistic emotion it makes the viewer forget that this small baby is in-fact a toy.

Her acting skills are also faultless the emotion captured on her face reemphasis's this love she has for this baby and the locations she visits such as museums parks eat into this vision of a 'good' mother taking their child on educational and informative trips.
The meaning behind this piece is very open but considering the context i think she is trying to say that her mother was a good mother.

RICHARD VANTIELCKE

Richard Vantielcke is a french photographer on his website he defines himself as a guardian of the legacy of surrealist painter Rene Magritte. His photography is a great range he has prints of  urban architecture, conceptual photography or portrait and self-portrait photography. Although my chosen pathway is portraiture i took particular interest into his Conceptual Narrative Photography.
It was his project labelled box head which is a fictional narrative of a man becoming intrigued by a box and amongst looking inside he is transformed into this box head.The photographs show us him on his travels going to various locations and the sequence ends with him laying on the ground amongst other boxes. This project is buzzing with meaning and this is perhaps why i like it so much by making a man that is in essential different from society and by placing it this way it explores alienation and isolation in society which is recognisable issue.

His use of locations are very effective to emphasise the theme of isolation and alienation.It really reflects the idea that society is so comfortable with what we consider the norm and people who are deviant or go against this norm are considered misfits and a disruption or danger to this equilibrium.

THOMAS JACKSON

Thomas Jackson is a American photographer who spent much of his career in New York as an editor and book reviewer for magazines. It was here his interest in photography books led him to pick up a camera.  He first began by first shooting Garry Winogrand-inspired street scenes, then landscapes, and finally installation works. His work has been shown at The Center for Book Arts in New York, the Governors Island Art Fair, the Gallery at Eponymy in Brooklyn and Industria Superstudios in New York. One particular installation I'm most interested with even thought it isn't portraiture per say is his narrative robot series.

In this series of photographs, he has  combined elements of science fiction literature and film  to create a darkly humorous narrative about a lonely robot’s failure to exist with the natural world. On his website he goes on to say ' the work also explores the  opposing emotions Mother Nature provokes in us: fear and fascination,  attraction,  greed, guilt and the queasy feeling that in the end, she will get us back for everything we’ve done wrong. I chose to build the series around a robot because he seemed an apt representation of our otherness within the natural world, and a stand-in for our ceaseless desire to force our environment into permanent submission—no matter how doomed the effort might be'.

I love how Thomas has structured his scenes to display a theme of loneliness like the image above with the robot playing a normally two or more players game by himself. There are also combined elements of light painting with the image which are really effective to this narrative piece.I think the best thing about this photography is the technical creative aspect to it, thomas created this robot and it should be admired as much as the photograph as a piece of art. This robot lacks emotion with not facial parts its impossible for it to convey emotion throughout its facial expressions however thomas finds another way to communicate the robots emotions through the scenes and the photographic elements for example the photo where the robot was seen hugging the tree portrays sadness, the robot feels so isolated he takes comfort in natural substances.
I think the meaning of this piece is quite complex to understand and instead of understanding its concept viewers might see a lonely robot who eventually dies as this isn't a world for him.

These are my three influential Photographers they all focus on photography that illustrates a idea or a issue all three of these do this well and to add to this they also document this in a story like way which is something id like to expand on in my work. These artists actually relate to my exam piece outcome last year where i looked at domestic abuse and documented this. I think with this pathway portraiture i will again adopt the Conceptual Narrative side to it and produce a final coursework piece which reflects this.

Personal Project Essay Structure

This is a visual attempt to structure my Photography essay, My essay will potentially be the Change from Analogue portraiture to Modern Digitalised and Mixed media Portraiture and for this i will look into and analyse photographers such as Julie Cockburn, Man ray and many others.

Below is the two structure layouts for my essay. Ive structured this as if this paper is a gallery or museum floor plan and each of my paragraphs are sectioned into different rooms. For my first composition i sectioned my rooms by artist and my second composition was sectioned into into techniques. I think out of the two i will most likely go with the artist structure as its more fluent to write without getting to muddled up.

Personal study essay: Intital Ideas

Final Piece Idea and Lee Jeffries Analysis

For he Summer Assignment I looked at a photographer named Jill Greenberg, She did a series of Photographs of crying children and to get this effect her method was to give the child a sweet and then cruelly remove of it. These images possess a great amount of emotion and with that detail.
So I wanted to take this idea of emotion and make it my own. Which is when I stumbled across the Photographer Lee Jeffries's SLR portrait Photography.



Lee Jeffries is a Photographer that lives in Manchester, He grew close to the football circle and then began photographing sporting events. The portraits that intrigued me the most were a selection of black and white photographs of homeless people.

 This idea of his came about when he met a young homeless girl by chance in the streets of London, he recalls that, initially, he had stolen a Candid shot from the girl huddled in a sleeping bag. Jeffries knew that the young girl had noticed him but he says that something made him stay and go and speak with the homeless girl. It was here when his perception about the homeless completely changed.
They became the subject of his art. He states in a interview that Situations arose, and I made an effort to learn to get to know each of the subjects before asking their permission to do their portrait. The models in his photographs are homeless people that he has met on his travels in Europe and the United States.

Although the emotion from photographing homeless people almost should be or seems to be saddening, Lee Jeffries has portrayed these people in a different light, with his high contrast images he has enabled us to look at these people as we would look at any other person, I don't think he wants us to pity these models but honor them by looking at their likeliness in a different meaning.

All of Lee's Images are labeled with the name of the model in which is in the photograph. However since I obtained this image from Google it doesn't have this caption attached to it. So the name is unknown. I think to produce this image Lee used a digital camera maybe a canon because of the clarity and detail captured I also think he manipulated his images by using photo shop to change the original colour to black and white and then enhance the image to produce this high contrast image as the end result.

The name of the subject of this photo is unknown however we do know that he is homeless and we can also gather than he is a elderly man. The use of light in this picture is really well done, the reflected light is visible in the glasses of this old man and it also highlights his hair.
But despite all we are drawn to the figures eyes in this piece innocent, honest looking eyes.These eyes also look scared or worried because of the watery tint in them.
These emotions portrayed by the eyes is what id like my final piece to have, id want the viewer to be able to tell a story by looking at the models eyes.

 

This is another image by Lee for me I think this is a really powerful image it really captures this man in his natural appearance it seems. Its also powerful because we can connotate that this man is blind and unwell hence the musus secreting from his nose but despite all he still puts on a honest face and sits their begging for small change. Its like Lee's series of homeless people represent average working class people some of lee's models are blind, smoke, wear glasses but because they are homeless they are to be pitied, No! by showing us these people Lee in a way is reminding us that Homeless people are still ordinary people they aren't objects they hurt and feel the same as everyone else does.

 

 

So for my final piece inspired by Jill Greenberg and Lee Jeffries I will do a series of portraits conveying different emotions.

Amy Friend Analysis

Amy Friend is a photographer that alters vintage images by piercing small holes in them allowing light to pass through. On her website she exclaimed " I aimed to give the photographs back the light, as photographs are only made possible with light" She named this series of dotted light photos  Dare alla Luce, a phrase used to describe this idea.

I like the way shes pinned around the figures to kind of bring them out from the dull dark background .You can tell this image is vintage because of the kind of brownish stain it has which actually works with this experimentation well. Although her pinning is a nice idea with a good explaination for it. Some might say shes ruined this picture because by pinning this picture she has obscured the identity of the figures we are no longer able to make out who these people are.

This is another one from the collection but i like this one better the way she has chosen to pin holes in the ladies jumper ois effective because she already has polka dots in her jumper so this effect helps them stand out more.

Also this picture differs from the previous as it is shot in daylight and although the dots are more effective in dark light somehow it works in this print. Her placeage of the dots also kind of hints magic or friendship between the horse and the ladies almost like those disney movies when two characters connect and there is sparks, these dots kind of relate to this.

I would imagine that the method for this is quite straightforward,  She would need to first get hold of some old photographs or print or phphotocopy them from a old photoalbum or something, then pierce a couple holes in them where she wants and place the photograph ona light box and take a picture of the final result Alternatively she could use a torch.

Overall, I do like these series of images i think the fact that shes used  vintage photographs helps this piece look more effective as the light holes realate more to old fashioned photos, even though like she stated light is responsable for producing all photographs i think it makes more sense cooperating it into these vintage prints.

However if i was to cooperate this into my own work i would choose a dark photograph instead of a light one as i think the dots will show up better and also kind of look like small stars.

Florian Imgrund Analysis

Florian Imgrund is a Photographer that specialises in making creative double exposure prints. He was fascinated by the ‘unique charm’ of early photography and when he got his first analog camera in summer 2010 he began experimenting and taking pictures ever since.

He currently works as an assistant professor in Germany but he is still passionate about his hobby, pursuing it as he writes his doctoral thesis's.

This is one of Florian's Pictures which i admire the most Its a double exposure print and for this one he has clearly used a girl facing the side and to overlap her hes used what looks like a field of flowers. I really like this combination he has chosen its really effective to combine portraiture with still life as they are both so different so contrast each other nicely.

The fact the girl is faced to the side really works for this piece as well  because its like shes scaring out into the distant, daydreaming of some sort, which kind of relates to a Field of daisies, maybe shes sitting on the daisies daydreaming about her aspirations and Florian has combined the both to give a sense of location in his photography.

The black and white from using the analog camera also adds to the effectiveness because of the contrast of the black and white flowers in the background and the figure with all her personal qualities such as her hair strands and other facial features, I don't think this print would have worked as well in colour because there would be too much happening because I would think the flowers colour would overpower everything.

To make this print i think it required a lot of skill to make since he was using a analog camera he would have to take on set of his prints first so this could be figures or still life then he would have to rewind the film inside the camera and begin taking more pictures on either still life or figures depending which one he took first. The process also doesn't always work out because the print you take on top could not work well with the one that's on bottom and its also hard to tell if your printing on the image or directly after it.

This is another image manipulated by Florian. I really like how hes combined rocks with his hand, This picture looks like its also been combined with the dodging and burning technique in the darkroom because the hand appears really dark whilst the background is very light but you can still makeup the rocks in both the foreground and background.

Nina Chakrabarti Analyisis

Nina Chakrabarti is a London based illustrator, She was born in 1970 in Calcutta,India.She achieved a Bachelors degree in Central Saint Martins and a MA in the Royal College Of Art. Although she grew up in Calcutta in the 1970s her mother was English so she was exposed to lots of western books, music and art as well.

Nina Chakrabarti's illustrations are quite simple. With just a few pen strokes she finds a way to put a sense of joy and wonder into her drawings. She is highly inspired by fashion and this lead to the creation of her 'My Wonderful World Of Fashion' books.The books are aimed at children but after being published they found fans of all ages interested in them all around the world. Nina's drawings always seem personal whether they are  for commercial purposes which include Marks & Spencer, Vogue and The New York Times or not.

Unlike most artists in a Interview Nina expressed how she moved to England from India in her teens with literally not much at all but a couple of books.She spoke about how strange it was to leave everything she knew behind and start again with virtually nothing. She then went on to say how in that time in her life she became fascinated with how people collect things as they travel through life and how in England at that time one of the popular things to do was to go to jumble sales and car boot sales to rummage for books,clothes and other bits and bobs. She was looking for things herself there when she became drawn to the way people present their personal belongings some presenting them neatly and others would have them thrown about in heaps of piles. Then much later when she began art school, she started to photograph stalls at car boot sales when she saw an arrangement that caught her eye. She stated that she believes this is the stem for the composition of disparate objects.

Nina's influences come from all over most of her detail and decoration is influenced most by Indian arts and crafts. Her biggest influence is a Russian Illustrator called Ivan Bilibin who was working in the early 1900's her fascination with his work started when  she was very small growing up she had a book he had produced called The Firebird which she described to have incredible skill and beautifully vivid colours.

For this information I looked at her website which was really brief so I research on and found a interview she had with the societeperrier website which is mainly for art and artist reviews the full interview is accessible here.

This image is one over many that features in this project for i want you magazine called 'Voodoo Queens'. I want you magazine is a art and design magazine designed and published by dumb eyes studio it features artworks by upcoming talents & overlooked artists from around the world. Each photograph in this series features a different illustration design on the faces of the models inspired by the art and culture of voodoo.

Voodoo is a spirited experience of mystery and revelation. It arrived from Africa on the shores of the Jamaica as a healing tradition. Soon enough though a darker version of Voodoo was born, inflicting pain and suffering to the enemies. This is the Voodoo  that was smuggled to the island of Haiti and later to New Orleans. Voodoo was also very women-centred and graphically rich, and an everlasting source of inspiration for musicians, writers, painters, tattoo artists, graphic designers and illustrators.In this series of photography's there are only images of women this could relate to the tradition of voodoo and how it was very women centred.

 The style in which the models hair is seems to me like Nina was also trying to link it into a traditional African mask with orange hair coming out of it.I think her design on the face of the model relates more to a Indian art and crafts design rather than a 'Voodoo' inspired design as in the mask below here the pattern on the mask is relatively simple compared to the detailed Nina version.

The artist has used a variety of formal elements to design this outcome on the face of the model we have a selection of different lines such as curved and wavy, The smaller circles at the base of the face portray a bumpy texture as I'm assuming this illustration is an R enactment of a 3D mask.

There isn't any extra ordinary colour that Nina has added to this photograph she has kept the original colours of the photograph and just added her black pattern on the face.

Their are lots of different patterns on this piece as well on the face it is almost divided into a line of symmetry where both sides of the face have the exact same pattern as each other which I think is effective because again it looks like she was trying to produce a 2D illustration of what a 3D mask would look like.

The model in this piece is quite plain as in her expression is very blank maybe this is a scare tactic as her eyes are coloured black so maybe she is possessed and ready to pounce. I think all Nina was trying to do here was sort of modernise the traditional opinions of voodoo, So what it would be like if witch doctors were walking around as casual people.

There wasn't much information about the meaning of this piece and the concept just who it was made for and the company name.To make this piece however I think it was relatively easy I think Nina set up a photo-shoot of some women and then printed the images and worked on them individually using pens such as a fine liner or a Biro pen.

When I first saw this piece it reminded me of Geraldine Georges another illustrator who produces drawings on images and also I found this selection of photos to be quite scary and disturbing mainly because of the negative stereotype of violent or aggressive that face tattoos give out also because her eyes were pure black which usually suggests evil.

Overall I Like the piece mainly because of the amount of detail in the facial pattern and because of the composition of the entire piece.

Victora and Albert Museum - A history of photography

In the Summer holiday I visited the V&A museum which had a little exhibition going on called The history of photography. Within this exhibition they gave a incite into what photography was like at different years in the past such as Modernism and After the war personal vision these are just a few of the headings in the exhibition. The exhibition actually included some artists id researched previously for example some works of Man ray, which was actually very different to the works I've seen of his before. I overall thought this exhibition was very interesting as it showed me how photography has evolved over the years and how it is still evolving now with new technology and some old methods.

 
 
 

This is a work by Benjamin Brecknell Turnell the piece is called 'Three Fishermen' and was produced around 1850.

 This Photograph is actually an early example of a technique we now call solarisation, but back then they did the method a slightly different way, Benjamin actually had to take out a license before he could do this technique by its inventor William Henry Fox.

 This back in the 1850s was called Paper negative or calotype and they were actually made by waxing a negative to make it translucent and then placing it in contact with a second sheet of sensitized paper and leaving it in the sun. This differs from Solarisation in the 21st Century as we now use a enlarger to expose the image on a piece of photography paper and once exposed for a limited amount of time we dip it into the developer wait till a faint version of the photograph to appear then, we place it back on the enlarger completely exposed to the light for the magic to happen and before the image gets too dark it goes back into the developer for a short amount of time, then the fix and so forth.

 I like the way the method of Solarisation has evolved amongst time but I'm sure there will be a few people that still prefer to do this the old fashioned way. Regardless I thought this piece was very interesting and if I might say kind of sinister in a way as you reverse the black and whites in the photograph the fishermen's eyes go pure white which is quite scary looking almost like they are some sort of a ghost . Also the way the men are all standing together with similar clothing which probably would have been the normality in those days but to me they again fit into this sinister horror movie snapshot they actually to me look like three scary crows with there basket hats and stiff stances.

 

This Photo was done by a man named Henry Peach Robinson, It was named 'When the Days work is done' this was created in 1877.

I was stunned when I read the info on this photograph it was actually made by using 6 different negatives I honesty think that, that's amazing for something so old to be so clever and creative and they don't even have the technology yet to make that process easier, What also impressed me is that this photograph looks genuine I was standing directing in front of it and if I didn't read the info I would of easily believed this was a ordinary print I congratulate it on being so well put together.

This is a Photograph created by a photographer named Paul Tanqueray, the photo is named 'Gertrude Lawrence' and was produced around 1930.Tanqueray is most famous for producing what were said to be the most stylish society photographs of the 1920s to 1930s.

The woman featured in this photograph was actually named Gertrude Lawrence she was a famous English actress, singer, dancer and Musical comedy performer known for her stage performances at London's west end and a New York's Broadway.

I like the way he has captured her pose in this photograph it really portrays her profession in acting and dancing.

This photo is by a woman named Eve Arnold made around 1965 it is called "The meeting of the brides of Christ on their wedding day to their lord at the nunnery in god aiming. surrey".

I like this piece because it was quite sinister also with the brides all gathered like this in a circle almost looks like they are planning a evil deed, I think its also because all the dresses look very much similar so that for me adds to the creep.

I found the title of this piece very peculiar as I haven't seen a title so long so far I think it emphasizes god and religion a lot in it which is quite concerning because is Arnold actually trying to tell us its not very godly at all.

Although this don't respond to my chosen pathway I felt motivated to showcase these aswell as for my first AS assignment I did something soo similar to this and I actually like the concept of capturing writing in black and white film. I think this is something I would definitely do again but with a creative twist. 

Nether the lest these photographs were produced by Robert Johnbrown he claimed that these photographs were taken on one trip around London as inspiration for his typography he also mentioned that these signs show weather, wit, bad spelling , necessity  and good loud repetition that can put a sort of music into the streets when we walk.

 

These are the last two photographs I particularly liked. These were taken by a man named Robert Doisneau these photographs were named 'Café noir et blanc' which I think translates to black and white coffee then there's the second one which was named 'Le petit Balcon' which is again French for the small balcony.

Doisneau is said to produce images that reveal moments of human nature and they are filled with warmth, feeling and wit. As far as I can tell this speculation is quite accurate both these images capture human nature within location one of which is in a coffee shop the other which is in a crowded room noted as a small balcony. What I particularly like about these pieces is that they both look like stills from a movie i can see action in both of them awaiting to happen in the coffee shop its a interesting conversation between two gentlemen or a rather large spillage of coffee due to the waitresses clumsiness in the photo below I see either a dace off about to start or a bet in which everyone sits and waits in awe for the designated player to take there turn.

Overall I really enjoyed this exhibition there was so much to look at and read, But to conclude this Exhibition has kind of informed me that darkroom photography hasn't really changed significantly our new technologies over time have allowed us to perfect already discovered techniques', but in a way I think that is a good thing its like passing on a great grand mothers special cookie recipe along the family line each person perfecting it to meet their specific standards or to perfect it to make I better which is the exact explanation of the pathway of Darkroom Photography.

Personal Study- Pioneers of Portraiture photography.

For my chosen pathway i have chosen Portraiture because there is so much a camera can capture with a person by examining their face alone you can see there ethic group there personal quality's and by them expressing emotion you can connote their story's and trials and tribulations they've been through. A photograph of a person enables the viewer to see the subject for what they appear to be however a portrait gives the viewer a deeper incite into what this subjects personality is.



The first artist I looked at was Angus Mcbean. Angus began his career in the theatre as mask-maker and scenery design before turning to full-time theatre photography.

This is quite a quirky photo because the model appears to be staring through a glassless window which has a random disc with a  knife attached to it.

Next is Alfred Stieglitz he was an American photographer and modern art promoter who was instrumental over his fifty-year career in making photography an accepted art form.

In this image the eyes of the model looks as if he is seriously focusing on something in the distant. The awkward positioning of the hands convey he is in deep thought unaware of the uncomfortable position just very focused on his prey.

Then we have Paul Strand he was an American photographer and film maker who, along with fellow modernist photographers like Alfred Stieglitz  helped establish photography as an art form in the 20th century.

I love the serious expression on this models face as well as the tones which is most probably some sort of dirt smeared on his face, from what I can make put he is wearing dungarees which could  suggest he is a child worker, in my opinion this photograph could also be documentary as well.


Then finally we have Man ray Man ray is also a American artist however he is most known for his experiments in the darkroom such as he's photo grams which he called 'Rayo grams', However he is also well known for his portraits which displayed in an exhibition dedicated to hi portraits in the national portrait gallery earlier this year.

This extreme close up of these saddened eyes is very effective and to add to it Man ray has placed little crystal gems resembling tears around the face which gives the piece a quite mellow but clever look.

However my favorite portrait artist has to be
Jill Greenberg;

Jill Greenberg

 

Jill  Greenberg is an American photographer raised in the suburb of Detroit. She graduated with Honor's in 1989 from the Rhode Island School of Design with a BFA in Photography and then moved to New York City to pursue a career in photography.

In 2007 she was selected by French Photo Magazine for their 40th anniversary issue to represent one of the 40 most important photographers.Since then she has done some commercial work for corporations such as, Microsoft, Dream works, Sony Pictures, Paramount Pictures, Disney, Coca Cola, and many more. Her photos have also  appeared on the covers of  well known American newspapers and magazines such as Time, Newsweek and  Entertainment Weekly  as well as many more numerous publications.

She also photograph's Celebrities and CEOs from numerous jobs, from being inside the music industry to the film and these include people such as Clint Eastwood, Steven Spielberg, Alicia Keys and Chris brown. She is a Worldwide photographer whose held exhibitions of her artwork in places such as Amsterdam, The Netherlands; Paris, France; Adelaide, Australia; San Francisco; Chicago; and various other cities.

 

 

Greenberg's End Times

One of her projects that i am most interested in is called Greenberg's End Times which was a project she did in 2006. This project features, a series of photographs featuring toddlers  crying, she did this project it is said at anguish and frustration with  the bush administration and Christian fundamentalism in the united states.

 This project actually caused a lot of controversy in 2006 and mainly because The methods for getting the children to cry in some cases was by offering the children candy, then taking it away this raised allegations of unethical conduct even thought the parents of these children were present in the room at the time.This incited with a submission of numerous complaints to the art gallery that hosted a public showing of Greenberg's work.

I love how the lighting really compliments the subject in this photograph to the right the lighting looks as if it is placed on each side of the child to highlight her blond hair as well as her cheekbones. On the right it looks as if the lighting is hitting her directly from the left to highlight her whole body as the model is turned to the left as well.

I really like the detail in these images but they are almost too perfect which lead me to believe Greenberg manipulated the photograph by using either photo shop or another photo editing software. The texture in this photograph is also quite beautiful  I think the lighting collaborated with this, as the lighting is coming from the left on this particular picture it really flatterers the subject thought as it  highlights the creases in his face which he makes whilst frowning. The eyes are also well captured they almost look animated because of course of the tears swelling up in them however, these eyes also resemble 'puppy dog eyes' the phrase to suggest cute looking eyes i think the eyes are a key part in making the viewer feel guilty.

I think after now having looked at Greenberg I'm planning on going a similar route with more Child Photography as children are quite photogenic and cute and innocent to capture, I highly doubt ill take on Greenberg's approach to upsetting kids by taking away candy from them I think I'll go for a more happier child them like something to do with their imagination and how there perception of the world is candy coated to some degree.
