Personal Shoot 2- MakeUp







Research Log

Martin Parr
http://www.martinparr.com















This photographer focuses on colour photography, he shows colour through a variety of different things. When looking a some of his work I found that he likes to show colour through events that have taken place. He also shows colour through food photography. 
Looking at the photograph above you can see that it is one big multiple imagery piece of Martin Parr's work. You can see the contrast between all the different colours and see the variety of his work. 


Corrie White
http://www.photoventure.com/2013/05/17/20-amazing-macro-photographers-on-500px/













Corrie White is a liquid art photographer who uses coloured liquid to make it look like its dancing. She uses vibrant colours against black backgrounds. she captures movement & splashes within her work by focusing on close up photography. 

When looking at the photograph above you can see that the use of vibrant colours have been incorporated & this continues throughout Corrie's work. 


Suren Manvelyan
http://www.surenmanvelyan.com




















Suren Manvelyan focuses on eye photography, both human & animals. He photographs eyes as he is a macro photographer & likes to show people the detail of the eyes that you wouldn't see in everyday life. Due to the photographs being so close up you can see the patterns on the eye. 

As you can see from the image above the photograph shows a sky blue colour contrasting with the black pupil, although this photographer doesn't specialise in documenting colour photography I found that he expressed the use of colour through his work very well.


Randovan Rinaldi 
http://www.photoventure.com/2013/05/17/20-amazing-macro-photographers-on-500px/














Randovan focuses on flower photography but also contrast photography as he tends to photograph vibrant coloured flowers against a black background. Due to the fact that the photographer uses black background it highlights the vibrant colours within his work, for example the vibrant red in the photograph above. 
When looking at the photograph above you can see the clear contrast in the photograph. You can also see that the flower has water droplets on it which create a 3D effect to the image & makes you imagine the texture of the flower. 


Ernst Haas












Ernest Haas is a colour photographer. His work shows a very wide range of different elements, from abstract photography to flower photography. He as one of the most celebrated and influential colour photographers of the 20th century. 
As you can see from the photograph above the colour red is shown through the use of red tulips. The photograph is a close up image which allows you to see the patterns/water droplets sitting on the petals. You can see the contrast between the vibrant red and the black background. 

Alexander Khokhlov 











Alexander Khokhlov is a fashion photographer that incorporates colour into his work through variety of different and interesting ways. For example he paints models faces in very unique ways. He also incorporates colour through the use of contrast. 
As you can see in the photograph above the uses the vibrant red colour scheme through the image but everything else is very grey and dull, almost like the selective colour effect. The photograph is a portrait image but it includes a lot of the background to show the contrast feeling to a deeper level as it makes the red areas seem more significant. Michael Bosanko

















Michael Bosanko is a light graffiti photographer. He uses lights and a slow shutter speed to draw graffiti & pictures with lights and then they appear in his images. The drawings are a way of incorporating colour into his work. His work is very visually pleasing to look at. 

As you can see from the photograph above, the idea is very creative & imaginative. There is a clear contrast between the bright, vibrant lights and the darker, shaded background. 
Mark Mawson














Mark Mawson is a liquid art photographer who shows colour through liquid diffusion. His work is extremely interesting, colourful & unique. He tends to use plain white background to highlight the bright colours of liquid being dropped into the water. 

As you can see from the photograph above the photo is very surreal & it makes you question how he captures such a fast movement. The photograph is a close up image which allows you to see the image to a greater detail. You can also see the different coloured liquid starting to mix, going from blue, green & then to yellow at the ends. 
Nancy Alford

Nancy Alford is a landscape, contrast photographer. She uses landscapes to show contrast within her photography. Her work is very colourful and she uses a different range of colours, some bright and vibrant, the others pastel and neutral. 
As you can see from the photograph above the image has been taken from a low angle and the walk way seems to go on forever. The pastel colours within the image contrast each other. The lighting used is soft to create the same light all around and no darker areas. 

Angela de Bona
http://www.angeladebona.com
















Angela De Bona is a fashion photographer who shows colour through make-up, clothing, accessories ect. Vibrant colours are hugely expressed in her work as fashion photography is all about colour and creating a big impact. 

As you can see from the picture above the colour is very important and the makeup/hair is very exaggerated. A plain grey background has been used to highlight the bright, vibrant colours of the models make-up & hair. 
Dez Santana
http://www.dezsantana.com/graffiti














Dez Santana is a graffiti street photographer and artist, he paints most of the graffiti himself & then photographs is with his signature on the top to make it unique to him which is very important when photographing graffiti. He uses the graffiti to show bold colours within his work but also to show contrast between the graffitied surfaces and the normal plain surfaces. 

As you can see from the photograph above colour is very important in Dez's work as graffiti is all about colour & patterns. The photograph has a very urban feeling to it but its also very natural with the sun light creating shadows on the floor. The photograph has been taken from a slightly low angle.

Cristina Otero is also a food photographer, however she uses people & portraits to show her food in a very different way. She also uses vibrant, exaggerated make-up to introduce colour into her work. She has very different work to other food photographers. 

As you can see from the photograph above the make-up matches the fruit itself and the colour scheme is the same. The image is a close up portrait of the model and the facial expressions of the models within Cristina's work are very important as they make the photographs more appealing. 
Viktoria Stutz

Viktoria Stutz is a beauty/make-up photographer, she uses make-up and accessories to incorporate colour into her work. Some of her work is very simple and other pieces are very exaggerated and extreme. She uses bold, vibrant colours throughout her work. 
As you can see from the photograph above I have chosen one of the simple images which a small amount of make-up, the only colour in the image is the eyes and the lipstick running,however I like that the small area of colour has a significant effect on the photograph and its more interesting to look at.

Kalle Gustafsson is a commercial photographer, she uses clothing, landscapes and products to incorporate colour into her work. There is a huge variety within this photographer work and people are very important within her work. 
As you can see from the photograph above colour has been introduced through the womens red dress. Scale is very important in this photograph as the male model seems to be as tall as the building and the women is very small, this could be supporting stereotypes as stereotypically men are more powerful than women.

Nicholas Samaras is an underwater photograph we. He uses animals and people to photograph. he incorporates colour into his work through the vibrant underwater plants and the fish as they have bright colour patterns on them. He takes pictures underwater during nighttime to create the black background effect. 
As you can see from the photograph above it has been taken during the night which is why it has the black background look. The vibrant purple underwater plant stands out more against the black sea and contrasts with the orange parts in the flower itself.

Documenting In Colour

In this photograph colour has been shown through the technique selective colour. the background has been edited black and white but a certain part of the image has been selected and kept in colour. This makes the colour stand out and shows a contrast between the black and white area and the coloured area. The use of selective colour could also indicate important places, for example: in this image the coloured area is the underground sign which is an important sign.

This photograph is from Ernst Haas work. The use of colour has been shown through vibrant red petals against a plain, black background. This shows clear contrast. The petals have water droplets on them to give the photograph texture. The lighting is soft and is shown to light the flower itself rather than the background. 



In this photograph colour has been shown through the use of lights & movement of a merry go round. The photograph has been taken at night time to highlight the lights on the merry go round as they stand out against the black sky but also the lights tend to been more vibrant and visible at night. This photograph fits well into the category of Documenting in Colour as it is an event that has taken place and colour is being expressed through the photograph. 


This photograph shows colour through the use of graffiti. Big, bold, colourful letters have been used to make the image eye catching and different from normal writing. This photograph has a very urban feel to it as its street photograph, taken on location. There is contrast shown in the photograph between the brighter colours such as yellow and the darker colours such as black and dark blue. A black outline around the letters has been used to create a 3D effect. 


In this image colour has been expressed through the use of glow in the dark pain. Dark lighting has been used in order for the paint to glow but also a glow in the dark background has been used to slightly light the model herself so you are able to see her rather than just being able to see the paint glowing. The glow in the dark paint has been mainly used on the models features, for example: eyes, mouth and ears. There is a clear contrast between the glow in the dark vibrant orange and the dark areas of the models skin. 
This photograph shows colour through the use of make-up. Soft natural lighting has been used to highlight the smooth texture of the skin. The colour pink seems to be the colour scheme of this photograph. All the make up coordinates together as the model has pink lips and pink eye shadow. The eyes seem to be the main focus of the image as large eye lashes have been used to make them more exaggerated and bold, two vibrant colours have been used as the eye shadow to make the eyes more eye catching. A neutral background has been used to match the colour of the models skin.


This photograph shows colour through the use of animal feathers. There is a flow of colours through this image as the red fades into yellow and then into blue as you can see from the back of the birds feathers. The background has been blurred and the subject(the bird) is in focus as its the closest object to the camera & the main focus of the photograph. Natural lighting has been used as it's a location photograph.


In this image the use of colour has been shown through glow in the dark paint in glass bottles. This gives the allusion that the bottles are glowing and are different colours. A black background has been used to highlight the vibrant colours as it makes them stand out more. 


This photograph shows the use of colour through making the lips rainbow. Selective colour has been used and the lips themselves are the only part of the photograph that is in colour and the rest is black & white. The image is a close up image which allows the lips to be the main focus of the image. 


In this photograph paint has been used to express colour. The paint is is dripping down the models face which indicates movement. the lighting used is lighting up the centre of the models face and creates shadows on the edge of the models face as the areas are darker than the centre. The background used in this photograph has been co-ordinated to match the models eye shadow as they are both he same shade of green.


This image shows colour through pastel coloured balloons against a black and white background, this is known as selective colour. By having the model holding balloons and having the background image including a number of building tops, it gives the allusion that she is floating in the air. 


In this photograph the use of colour has been shown through funfair rides and movements. The photograph has been taken from a low angle but seems to be the normal prospective as you would be looking up at the funfair rides in feel life. The bright blue sky and the sun shinning on the big wheel highlights the vibrant colours within the photograph has it makes them look a lot more appealing and bright. 


This photograph shows the use of colour through exaggerated make-up. The colours used in the photograph are very dull and then splashes of vibrant colours are included, for example bright red and yellow circles around the eyes. The lighting used is very shadowy as it creates many dark areas on the models face.


In this photograph the use of colour has been shown through moving car/bus lights as the sped of the subject is so much faster than the speed your camera takes the picture it leaves behind a blurring effect. As the image has been taken at night the lights are making the colours more vibrant. The darker black edging around the photo highlights the purple colour running through the photograph. 


This image shows the use of colour trough a multi coloured building. Apart from the building in this photograph there is very little colour shown therefore it shows a contrast between the dull white & grey side of the picture and then the other rainbow side of the photograph. As the picture is taken on location natural lighting has been used.


This photograph shows the use of colour through liquid photography. Liquid has been dropped in to water and captured at a very high speed. The image has then been turned upside down in order to make it look like the movement is going upwards rather than floating down in the water. A black background has been used as it allows you to see all of the different colours used as they stand out more individually. 


In this photograph the use of colour has been shown through a number of different things, for example: sweet wrappers, peoples skin colour, clothing, food ext. All of the different images have then been put together as one massive multiple imagery piece to show a variety of colour. This photograph was taken and made by Martin Parr.


This image shows colour through the use of different colour paint. Patterns & shapes have been created on the models face. Rather bright lighting has been used to lighten the models face rather than the background as the models face is very bright and then the background is very dull. The models skin is very pale which makes the colour paint stand out more. 
In this photograph colour has been shown through selective colour as the background is black & white and then the two telephone boxes are red. Due to the fact that red is a vibrant, bold colour the technique of selective colour works well as it shows clear contrast. 
This photograph shows colour through fruit. A kiwi has been cut in half as the centre is a very vibrant green. The lighting in this photograph is very natural and a white background has been used. By having the kiwi cut in half it allows you to see the patterns that are in the centre of the kiwi. There is a contrast between the green inside and the brown outside. 


In this image the use of colour is shown through a sun set. The colours in this image all blend together as the dark blue at sky at the top of the photograph blends to pink, purple and orange. This photograph shows peace as the water is very still and calm. 


In this photograph colour has been shown through contrast. A number of green ables have been placed in the background and then one large red pepper is placed in the middle, this shows a clear contrast between the bright green and the bright red. The contrast in this image is a lot clearer than in other images as there are only two colours included in the photograph. I like the feel of this image as I like how everything is one colour and then there is just something small in a different colour as I like how it stands out.
In this multiple imagery piece colour has been shown through the different seasons, Autumn, Spring, summer & winter. You can see that the colours vary depending on the season, for example in the bottom right hand picture the green colour of the leafs are very bright whereas they are becoming darker in the top left picture. In the winter photograph very little colour is used as its all dark & dull.


This photograph shows colour through a beach setting. The different blues all fade from one to another and the colours seem to get lighter from the left side of the image, moving along to the rift side. The lighting is very bright and sunny as its a beach location. 


This photograph shows colour through the use of human eyes, selective colour has been used to highlight the blue eye. Due to the fact that the image is a close up image you can see a number of different colours within the eye, the pupil is black and then around that is a green/yellow colour which moves to blue. The photograph has been taken from a direct in front angle.
