Gered Mankowitz photography

This image caught my eye as i really like the composition as there is only half of the man photographed. The use of black and white works effectively as it draws the eye to the image of the dark man against the white wall. 

I really like this image because i like the way the people are centered as it shows they are the main object. By having the background lighter behind the people creates a good effect as it makes them stand out more against the darker background.

This image is very interesting as there is a lot going on and there is lots of colour involved in the image. I also like the composition of this photo as it is landscape and it's quite similar to a film strip. The way the curtain is centered in the middle of the image splits it up to create a busy and less busy side of the photograph and i think this works effectively by being unbalanced.

The lighting and tone of this image makes it eye catching and unique. I love the way the photo is taken looking up to the people as this almost makes them look superior as there above the camera. The border around the image is dark which makes the people centre of attention in the photo.

I like this image because i feel it could fit into the category of fashion photography as its a photo of a beautiful women and this is the kind of photos i am planning on taking. I like the simplicity of the photo as it works very well with just a small amount of light on top of her head to bring out the colour of her hair.

I like this image as it is in a series and i also think it works effectively how he is wearing a different colour jacket in each photo. The way his facial expressions are looks like he is slowly turning round too look at the camera and this is quite like a film strip similar to the third image. The way the background is plain and simple makes the person stand out more and this works well so your attention is drawn to him.

This image could also be seen as fashion photography as the women is wearing fashionable clothing and the room behind her is very modern and classy which adds to the effect. In this photo the women is not immediately seen as the main object as there is a lot going on in the background which is eye catching.

I really like this image because there is only a small amount of light used and this makes the people stand out more against the black background. Also it is different that they have used candles as the light instead of fake light. This image has quite an ere atmosphere to it as it's very dark and just has the candle light.

    A good start to this assignment, more research required into fashion and music industry photographers alongside portrait photographers as well. We can give you a list, plus look for yourself as well to develop your research skills.
    Refer to the new support site if you need to look back on any info, handouts, criteria, etc to help you.
