Work Records: Mapplethorpe studio

Mapplethorpe Style (studio)

In this lesson we watched and took notes on a video about the photographer Robert Mapplethorpe. We then went to the studio and did a shoot inspired by the work we had seen by the photographer. Although the photographers work was not my favourite I think the shoot went well and Mapplethorpes style was reflected in my work.

I like this photograph because Beth seems to show a lot of emotion in the photo through her facial expression and body language. I also like the fact that she is not central so the background is shown to have some importance.

I like this photograph because Beth's facial expression is very powerful but it is not clear what emotion she is feeling in the photograph. I think she shows up well and stands out against the dark background making her the focus in the photo. I also think that her skin tone looks very nice in the photograph.

This photo isn't very good because it is too dark and therefore we are unsure what is actually happening in the photo. The body language is good but because Beth's hair is dark her head almost completely disappears against the dark background.

Work Records: Mapplethorpe location

Mapplethorpe Style (location)

In this lesson we watched a video on the photographer Robert Mapplethorpe. We then had the opportunity to go out on location and shoot in the style and taking inspiration from his work.

Robert Mapplethorpe had a photo with a model in a similar position so I tried to recreate this. If I was to do this photo again I would use a dark background as this is more likely what Mapplethorpe would have used.

This picture isn't really like any Mapplethorpe pictures but it does quite relate to contrast. If I were to improve it I would photograph the whole of Adi so that the expression on her face can be seen as this is often shown in Mapplethorpes work.

Work Records: Contrast two

Contrast (two)

In this lesson we were shooting contrast in the studio. I think this lesson went well because i think i got some attractive photos and they show what they are meant to. If I was to improve this shoot I would add other things to the shoot as some of the photos got a bit repetitive.

This is an effective contrast photo because only part of Adi can be seen so there is the contrast between her being there or not. Also there large amount of background so the contrast between the little bit of Adi and the background is obvious and stands out.

Although this photo does show contrast in the background and object I would change this photo quite a lot. Firstly I would make sure the top and bottom of her hand is visible and not cut off. I would also show her whole hand from the wrist otherwise it isnt really clear that contrast is the reason for the photo.
