Research On Different Photographers

STEVE PYKE

These are a few images that have been taken and edited by the photographer Steve Pyke. As you can tell from these examples most of his work is based in black and white, well most of the images I found of his are all black and white. He uses different lighting in different ways, whether its making one half on the picture darker then the other half or making the picture more light then the other.

TOM HUNTER

Tom Hunter goes for a different approach compared to Steve Pyke on his work, and makes his work bright and colourful as you can see from the examples, and he generally tries to go for natural situations, so it looks all normal, apart from the image on the left which I found what was a bit unusual, which shows he does do extraordinary things with his work. He uses bright lighting and bold colours. He more than likely in-hances the colour contrast when he is editing his photography.

RICHARD AVEDON

Richard Avedon is also another photographer who likes to use black and white photographs for most of his work. From the examples above and from a lot of the images I found when I searched his name on Google as you can see he likes to do strange things for his photo's, such as making people go in weird positions or form weird shapes and do strange things, quite similar to Steve Pyke with how he edit's and use's lighting.

DAVID BAILEY

David Bailey uses a similar technique to Richard Avedon and Steve Pyke by using the same lighting technique and by making all his photo's black and white. From the examples above you can see that he likes to make his models pull strange faces, and if you looked into more of his work you would see this show off on his other pictures and more than these two. 

RANKIN

Rankin is another photographer who makes his pictures a lot more different compared to others as he uses a lot of make up and does odd things to the model. He uses quite bold colours that stand out quite a lot and takes quite extraordinary photos. Like some of the other photos the photographer more than likely in-hances the contrast on the photo's he takes when he's editing them.

NADAV KANDER

Nadav Kander is also quite a big photographer, but from most of the stuff I have researched on him, the majority of his work is based on locations, rather then models. It looks like he doesn't do much editing on his pictures apart from even make the colours more brighter or duller to add extra effect to his work.
