photographer 5

I chose the photographer Andrew Stawicki because he's work was of the theme of poverty and this is one of my topics that I have explored in my project of personal comment. He also used the print technique of black and white and captured several close up shots which are photographs that will inspire me.

 This photograph shows two different cultures coming together as one.This is shown through the close up photograph of both a black male and white female. The black and white editing effect brings out the different tones in both their faces and this allows us as the consumers to see their individual detail for example their eye wrinkles, eye brows and pupils. The closeness of this photograph is very affective because it shows the weakness in their eyes which relates to the theme of poverty because it shows how they have no power in society to gain some wealth.

This photograph also shows the personal comment of poverty through someones eye. This photograph is again a close up and allows us as the consumers to see the pain in their eye because of their life struggles.The close up also allows us as the consumers to see the huge amount of detail in this person's face as from this photograph the wrinkles around their eye and the actual eye is very crystallised and clear to see. I really like this photograph because it has been edited in black and white to show the negative side of this persons life.

 This photograph is of a innocent child with tears down his face. This photograph makes the audience sympathise and feel this child's pain through the close up of the photograph. By having the photograph in black and white makes this photograph look even sadder. Also this photograph contains the technique of depth of field as the focus is on the child and then children in the background are blurred. I really like how the child was taken from the side to show a different angle of his face and how the tear is taken and edited to be very clear and recognisable.

This photograph shows the happiness of people in poverty as by the expressions on their faces show them smiling and enjoying the life they have. I really like how this photograph has been taken to cover the whole space and shows a lot going on in the photograph. The black and white effect has been edited with hue and saturation do bring a natural colour into the photograph and make it look vintage.



This photographer has influenced me with his technical skills of close up photographs and how to take close ups using different angles. This will help with my work in all my topics to show as much detail as possible and to focus on a close up instead of always taking a full photograph of everything happening in the photograph.

Overall the photography that this photographer produces is very high quality and professional and this is shown through the skills he has used. The message and emotions he is showing in his photography are shown very clearly and connect straight away with the audience.
