Photography Research.

Looking at different photographers work, I realised how many different styles of photography there are, and how carefully composed they are.

Loretta Lux:
     Lux is one of my favourite portrait photographers, because of the eerie expressions on the children's faces. Her portraits are very haunting and surreal. In this photo, 'Portrait of Antonia' I like the muted colours, because the neutral background makes the blue look very bright in comparison.







Imogen Cunningham:
     I like how abstract the shapes are in this photograph, although at the same time very realistic and detailed. The flowers really stand out from the black background, and the texture of the flowers is very subtle.























Sandy Skoglund:
Skoglund interested me because of how intricate her photo sets are, and how much work must have gone into the background to take just one photo. This one caught my eye because of the pattern that covers almost all of the people and items, but there are also parts that show through, like the suit, and parts left completely uncovered like the arms and legs of the women. The colours are not very varied, so you have to look closely to see all the details.
