Sara Pellegrino

This editorial work by Sara Pellegrino was something I came across on Behance. I was looking at editorial photography trying to get some inspiration and this was one of the projects I looked at. The way the photographer has incorporated the obvious brush strokes into the clean imagery works really well. It gives the photos more texture and balances the images. The use of colour is really effective, the colours of the backgrounds and the brush strokes compliment one another and the clothing that the model is wearing. 

This project started off some thought processes which allowed me to develop my idea further.

David Bailey

I looked at a famous photographer called David Bailey. There are many things I like about his work, I feel he captures the personality of the people he takes portraits of incredibly well. The images are always well composed and balanced but the thing that I like most about his work is the use of black and white. He uses high contrast black and white imagery which I feel is really effective and I would like to use within my work.

Gem Fletcher 2

I came across another set of photographs by Gem Fletcher. Again these images depict people behind glass. The photographer has used steam again but he has also used water and a glass texture which distorts the image. The photographs are really minimal which is how i would like to shoot my photographs. The bottom photograph of the three gave me an idea that I will use to develop my work for this project.
