I produced my work for the unit in a
studio-based environment as to control the lighting whilst I photographed my
subject. I wanted to control the lighting as to regulate the detail and
definition in the subject’s faces, producing images, which appear to have
natural and artificial light sources. I could use the image I have taken to use
as a reference for my drawings and painting.
I chose to research black and white
photography artists because I believe black and white photography as I believe
it has more interest to the image, it shows definition in the image, without
the tonal qualities, it almost shows its own line quality.
I have chosen to present my final piece
online; I feel by doing so it will allow me to broadcast my work in a wider
variety in a larger target audience, being able to publish worldwide with
little complications and cost.
I find the context of my work is more
editorial then other forms of photography, although I find its qualities to be
more beneficial in a more personal way, as I can use them as references in my artwork
to paint from.
The strengths of my work are that I offer
detail in my work shown of the individual subject. Although I believe I could
have produced more photographs.
