photographer 3

I chose this photographer because it shows fairy tales in a happy and sinister way. This will fit well in my project of personal comment because it shows how fairy tales have to different sides to it. It also shows the basic formal elements in them which I known very well and can inspire me with my own work.

This photograph is part of the Disney celebrity shoot taken by Annie Leb. I really like the yellow sun shining through and causes the trees to show shape through silhouette. I also like the tones of the location as there is lightness and darkness coming through together to show the sinister side of fairy-tale and the bright cheerful side. Furthermore I really like how the photographer has positioned the princess as she is surrounded by the trees and has sparkles that have been edited to make her the main focus. The yellows and greens create a warm atmosphere and make this photograph look magical.

This photograph shows personal comment and is also part of the Disney celebrity shoot. Instead this photograph shows the princess of Cinderella and her running away from the castle. The deep blue colour of her dress stands out and is the main focus of this photograph. However the stairs leading up to the castle are very dark and gloomy to show the haunting side of fairy tales. I especially like  how the photographer has taken the female model running in motion to show a realism in this photograph even though its just a story.

This photograph only shows one side to a fairy tale which is very dark and sinister. The evil queen is standing very strong and dominant with an angry expression. This is complemented with the dark lighting and intense colours which make her red cape stand out. Conations of red are evil, blood and violence which this queen portrays. I especially like how the flames are coming upwards by the mirror to continue this interpretation and to show fairy tales do have danger apon them.

This photograph is also part of the Disney celebrity shoot and shows the Disney characters of Peter Pan and Tinkerbell. The dark background and dark green tree's show a dark and negative side to fairy tales however the glitter sparkling show the good and positive side to them. I like how the male model playing Peter Pan is in bright green which stands out from the dark location and makes him the main focus. I also like how there is font in this photograph to share the message it is telling. The quote is 'Where you never grow up' this is from the film and is something that its audience will understand straight away.

This photographer will influence be through her lighting of dark and light and using quotes in her work to share her message. I will use both of these editing skills to produce my work to be professional. I also like how she has stuck with a theme which she focuses on I will take this on board and not try to do too many separate topics and focus on several ones I am most interested in.

Overall I really like her work and how it shows the contrast of good and bad in Disney fairy tales. Her work show personal comment which is something I am showing in my work therefore her work will inspire me when I'm photographing mine.
