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.
