This is my final image for my portrayal as and iconic villain and again I'm not pleased with outcome.I feel like the is no connection to the original photo from the one i have taken.Again taking this photo proved difficult because general discomfort i felt in portraying someone else.

Deborah turberville
I like the eeriness to her photos dark and disoriented yet enchantingly mesmerizing.The subjects in the foreground blend slightly into the background .
lOVE magazine/fill in flash research
When viewing these images i can see the digital flash is harsh on the subject and only lights up the subject and the area around it only a slightly lit.
5x4 colour neg
This image was one of three images i was using as my final large portrait prints.It was part of a sequence from short,mid,long depth of field they consist one the same throughout unfortunately when printing this the image was unfocused .
Hasselblad portraiture project research
This is part of my final portraiture project research where i felt i wanted to be more creative than to just create simple portraits.Using the hasselblad i shot the two above photos with the intention of them not fully being in focus.The reason for this is i had recently researched one of many photographers i admire Deborah Turberville, she created many fashion photos which all have a disturbingly eerily feel to them.
This was just an idea one in which i did do intentionally but did not work. i would have preferred if it had been in focus a little,using a tripod would have changed things completely and this idea may have panned out the way i had imagined it to.
hasselblad portraiture project reserach
More pleased with the outcome of these negs than the other two.I am pleased with the way I've structured the format of these photographs.The background adds emphasis and mood to the foregrounds subject.
Albert Watson
I admire Albert Watson's two portrayals of Kate Moss and how two different layouts and can produce very different things.For instance the photograph on the left creates a disgruntled,lost,unstable,on edge,uncomfortable to name a few. I'd suggest has been created by the darker backdrop and the use of light creating shadow along the bottom of her back and then up her spine emphasising it dramatically.Whereas the image on the right has a calm,feminine,less hostile rhythm too it with the help of a lighter back drop and the use of light directly upon her creating shadowing behind her.Although both very uniquely different from another in the sense of mood they create they are both equally beautiful in there own way, they draw your eyes attention for different reasons.

more 35mm portrait research
Again part of my large format research using 35mm. When.When researching photographers such as Richard Avedon what i was inspired most by, was the portraits he took of real working class people where full of character whether it be a stern look or just a simply smile it's the way he was able to capture every crook and crease in that person face.Although these photographs are only of children i liked to think they both have character through expression.
