Research Log- personal comment

Vasil Germanov

This photograph was taken and presented in a Bulgarian magazine depicting that even glamorous women can be a victim of domestic abuse. This photograph was part of a controversial 12 magazine spread and was linked with a campaign against domestic abuse. This photograph links very well to my topic of domestic abuse as its aimed at women as well. I like how this editor has included text in this photograph and the chosen colours complement each other very well not taking any focus of the cause of this photograph. The beaten eye looks very realistic which allows people in this situation to relate to this photograph and stand up for themselves.

Banksy



This photograph was created by 'Banksy' who is an unknown artist . This photo is inspiration for my topic of sterotypes in my personal comment project because this photograph shows an obvious message of sterotypes this is because it the artist 'Banksy' has stereotyped African Americans and there pop culture and what society thinks of them.

John Beatty



John Beatty has been photographing nature and adventure for 30 years and his main inspiration is from this quote: “The eye sees not itself, but by reflection…”     William Shakespeare. This photograph shows the personal comment on how nature is beautiful and by the brightness and still movement in this photograph shows this. He has said that this photograph was taken with the message of pleasure and peace in a quite moment.

Andrew Stawicki



This photograph was taken to show the theme of poverty and homelessness . This photograph was the first photograph he submitted for this project and shows poverty in Toronto. The facial expression on this homeless mans face shows the message immediately focusing especially at his eyes. I like how this photograph has been edited in black and white to bring out more detail in this mans face.

Bela Borsodi  



Bela Borsodi is a surral fashion photographer and captures fashion coming to life. This shows personal comment as it shows that fashion can become someone life and who they are as a person. The aspects of art, design and crafts in her this work shows photography in 3 dimensions. Bela is a New York based photographer who has worked fro vogue and Wallpaper.

David Vasiljevic



This photographer is a graduate of the Academie des Beaux art in Brussels. His vision of photograph shows how fashion brings out different personalities. He spends is time in New York, Paris and London. I really like how these photographs have been presented and the positions that the models have been captured in.

Annie Liebovitz



Annie's photography reflects my project of personal comment as it brings the message of how fairy tales can have a sinister side to them. This photograph shows this through the lighting, tone and colours. This shoot was taken as part of 3 series of celebrities as Disney characters in 2008.

Chris Sanders



Chris sanders captured this photograph in 2011. He particularly worked with models that had acting experience as then they could create his photography to look realistic and this will allow his viewers to feel the pain that the model are presenting. This photograph shows domestic abuse and the stress that women who are victims of this have to go through. I really like how the hand is not focused but the models face isn't to show her face as a symbol of the fear and distress this women is going through.

Teun Voeten



Teun Voeten is a photojournalist who studied cultural anthropology and philosophy before becoming interest in photography. His work focuses on people in extremely difficult circumstances. This photograph fits my personal comment project as its expressing how children soldiers is wrong.

Herber Vega 




This photograph represents culture in personal comment. The inspiration that gave him to photograph these pictures were the culture in Iraq. Heber Vega is a freelance humanitarian photographer based in northern Iraq, specializing in documenting the work of NGOs and non-profit organizations.

Justin Grant photographs fashion, lifestyle, beauty and fitness. He is a self taught advertising photographer and he travels the world on assignments. He's advertisement companies he has worked with range from sony playstation, Matrix fitness, Miss USA Universe, JayBird Sports and many more. I really like about all his work how the photographs are taken from all different angles and the quality of his photographs are very high that they look very graphic.

Steve Niedorf

Steve Niedorf's photography is very simplistic and engaging whether its still or motion photography. His work shows elegance through the topics of education, healthcare, industrial and youths. His career is a combination of photography and travel. His work shows a personal comment on real life situations which create different meanings to the consumers. 

Chelsea White

Chelsea White is a photographer and makeup artist. She focuses on beauty, fashion and portraits which she captures very well. The message I get from her makeup beauty photographs are that makeup give a girl confidence and make them feel better about there appearence. This is shown through facial expression and how makeup creates the models to look flawless. However this could have a negative affect on young girls as they could get frustrated because they cant reach the expectations of the models. 

Eric Myer



Eric Myer had created a project called 'stereotype edition' this is when he has taken photographs of all different styles of clothing and all different ethnicity's and cultures this is so that the consumers can interact with his photographs and choose what style and face they would like to match. This project shows the message that stereotypes aren't true and that anyone can contain a feature that doesn't match there stereotype.

Tim Zeipekis



Tim Zeipekis shows hierarchy through this photograph by using nature to symbolise and represent this. I like the depth of this photograph as it shows the status and makes the photograph more interesting to look at. The black and white effect makes the misty atmosphere stand out more. Overall I really like this photograph and how it has a hidden message using nature.

Becca Wonderland




This photograph shows the personal comment on eating disorders. The message of this photograph is that the tape measurer is wrapped around her hands representing hand cuffs showing that once people start getting conscience about there weight they cant escape. I like the black back drop in this photograph as it makes the tape measure stand out. The close up framing of this shot is very different and interesting to look at.

Scherle photography



This photograph represents the personal comment of having a fit and healthy body in contrast with being conscience about it. The location of this shoot is very creative and stands out from the photograph. I like how this photograph has been taken from a low angle to show the whole of this models body.

Birte Ragland





This photograph represents the personal comment of poverty. In this photograph the photographer has taken a picture of real life poverty which makes this photograph more hard hitting. This photograph also involves children which makes this photograph more weak and vulnerable. I like how the setting shows the theme straight away and the clear lighting brings out the emotions that these two young children are feeling which will make the audience sympathise with this photograph instantly.

Jen Busse




This photograph represents personal comment of domestic abuse and shows that women who are abused don't have a voice. The message of this photograph is that they are easily silenced and that they need to speak up and get help. I like how bold her features are and the closeness of the shot this allows the audience to feel her pain.

MKS- Photography



This photograph shows the personal comment of domestic abuse. I think this photograph shows this very well through the sign saying 'Are you happy now?' this is a very strong and hard hitting message that audiences can relate to. Her facial expression and edited cuts and bruises look very realistic and match the theme of abuse. Also I like the black and shadowy background as it suits this dark topic.
