This week in photography class, we watched a documentary covering the career of photographer Richard Avedon. The style we attempted to model was simply photographing our model with a plain, white background, but at the same time, trying to interact with the model by asking questions and trying to capture genuine images. The process was tricky for both my model and I, as models had to try and avoid the stereotypical "say cheese" expression, and instead just let the questions and interaction with the photographer illicit genuine expressions from their face, even if the end result would be a bit unflattering.
Kyle, I got to say your pictures aren't the most flattering pictures either. But that was not what we were going for. Besides that, nice pictures.-_-
ReplyDeleteNice photos. I like how you were able to capture the different sides and moods of your model in your photographs. I also like how you photographed him in different perspectives. Being able to see him up close as well as a farther away, gave me a more understanding connection with him.
ReplyDeleteThese pictures show nice emotion. You definitely avoided the "say cheese" expression.
ReplyDeleteGreat job Kyle! You truly portray your understand of Richard Avedon's techniques through this series of black and white portraits. I like how not only do your portraits show variation in emotion but you also focused on perspective and angles.
ReplyDeleteGreat work kyle. You really had a good understanding of the Richard Avedon's style. i think that you really captured some good emotions with your model. i also think there is a very good flow between the photos.
ReplyDeleteI like how each photo shows a different emotion. These are really good photos.
ReplyDeletei really like the overall composition of these photos and they all look like they came from the same exhibition, however it looks like long long is posing for a few of them. but as a whole this assignment is really strong
ReplyDeleteI like how you used just one model , which made it possible for the viewer to get a deeper look into the photo. THis way, the viewer can see more than just one side of the model.
