Original Images
Bill Brandt’s work is something that I would like to try for my own work I like the way that nearly all of the photographs are in black and white this ages then makes then look more mysterious and unlike Jenny Saville he looks and the shapes and the light instead of focusing on the folds textures and colouration of the skin like jenny does with in her work.
I would like to try and use some of Bill Brandt’s images as inspiration for my next shoot, I will be working in black and white and dark colours for most of my photographs I think this will also bring out the detail with in the images as well as give them an edge and make them different compared to my other photographs so far. In most of Bill Brandt’s images you can tell what is in the image some of his photographs are out of focus but still resembles well what it is taken of. I will make my photo’s easier to see what the photo is taken of but use clear and crisp shots as well as a few blurry ones for this shoot I will get my inspiration from Bill Brandt and possibly Uta Barth and mix them together to see what I can create. Some of Bills images particularly caught my eye as I will hopefully recreate images that are similar to what he has created with his. |
