In this post I will be researching photographers linked to chosen brief of magazines. I will focus on their style and the type of media products they produce. I hope to gain inspiration from their techniques in order to make a good magazine that suits the brief. I think understanding the photographers for the magazines will help me to efficiently create my own magazine and website.
In conclusion I have learnt that typically for magazine front covers photographers often have close ups of the celebrity and only deviate to show an important background or scene. I also learnt that photographers usually have a style (e.g. colour themes, camera angles, shot types etc)- in my work I will stick to a specific style for my photographs. The photographers I have researched tend to use close ups or long shots to influence the audience. Testino tends to use bright colours for his photography, similar to Knights eccentric style. However Leibovitz uses more low key lighting in her work.
S - great research.
ReplyDeleteI - Which style of photography would you follow? In your conclusion you acknowledge what each of your chosen photographers do, but which one would you actually follow?
