Gloria Marigo-
Gloria Marigo is a vintage and very original photographer. She uses objects and animals to show a vintage theme throughout her photographs. The colours within her photographs are quite bright yet the lighting is quite dull which adds a retro theme. The colours are quite muted and washed out which adds more of a vintage effect towards the viewers.
In this photograph, Marigo presents an illusion towards her vintage theme. The hands which are shown in the photograph are odd which could symbolise insecurity because the butterflies present positive thoughts and happiness which needs to be shown in modern society. The photograph has a short depth of field which lets the viewers focus on the main focuses of the photograph; the hands and the butterflies. The colours within the photographs match together such as the pinks and the yellows as they link with her vintage theme. The lighting in the photograph consists of being bright in the middle but slightly dark round the sides which could show towards the viewers how the butterflies are the main focus of the photograph.
Combination with Arnaud Jarsillion-
The photograph of Gloria Marigo fits with the style of food I chose because it darkens the edges of the original photograph which makes it have a totally different effect then Marigo's version. However, the lighting is focused onto the whipped cream on the right hand side. The left hand side of the photograph creates a darkened lighting. The original theme of Marigo's work is vintage, however, the effect of the food from Jarsaillon's work makes it follow an unusual theme. The depth of field in both photographers are based around a short depth of field which makes the portraits more unusual and focused.
David Ryle-
David Ryle is a photographer who uses steam and condensation to create a range of productive photographs. His photographs interpret a basic portrait but with a slight twist. The steam and condensation could represent a sad theme throughout his photographs as all the people in his photographs have gloomy facial expressions which could link with his theme.
On this photograph of David Ryle, the condensation is shown mainly on the woman's hair at the sides which makes the subject more clearer towards the viewers than the background. The background is plain which makes the condensation more clear on the woman. The lighting of the photograph is bright, especially on the subject's face which there isn't much condensation shown. This could interpret a sad theme as the subject is expressionless and has no originality within the photograph. The depth of field is short as there is just the subject and the background. In most of David Ryle's photographs, such as this one, the colour of the subject's lips are often red or pink which is the only bright object in the photograph. The colour of the lips don't match with the other colours in the photograph as the other colours are quite basic and plain, yet the red has a vibrant look towards the viewers.
The photograph focuses on the subject which links with Ryle's work. The colours within the photograph are miscoloured and looks like the steamed effect is on his face and not the background. The blurred effect is situated onto the subjects face, throughout, the use of plain colours and a decreased focus. The depth of field is short, because of the way the subject is well-centred and the main focus. The background, however, shows a distracting pattern and bold objects which could distract the viewers from the main focus. The patterns of the wallpaper and the windows are very bold and distracting. However the depth of field is presented as cluttered by the use of the objects in the background.
