Sam Taylor Wood  

Sam is one of the most important contemporary women artists, her work combines elements of the still and moving image and frequently explores the tensions and erotic entanglements arising between people in a closed environment. Her panoramic photographs have the quality of freeze frame. Sa, Taylor Wood often explores how emotions are expressed.

Sam is a photographer and film maker, image below is made with a rotating camera  that turns 360 degrees in five seconds, the work records the motions and gestures of six actors and friends, the image unfolds each character seems lost in their own reality.

I would like to experiment with coloured helium balloons to illustrate the model is being lifted up from a fantasy book to reality. I would do this by having a fan in the studio blowing leaves and artificial flowers around the model and have the book on the floor some open some not, Could even tie the books to the balloon  when not tied to the model. Am guessing to do this shoot is having step ladders in the set where the model cud stable her legs on steps and if need more stability i use a stool to rest her head.

Lidia Vives

  

Lidia's favourite photographer is Annie Leibovitz due to the compositions, the colour, the images almost looking cinematic and contrasts. She goes adventuring for inspiration through landscapes, clothing, technique and when she dreams and deep in thoughts in a shower.In Lidia's opinion she feels that making a good image considers fundamental things like composition, colour but most importantly the images needs an issue, there has to be a story behind it, a mystery.

Advice Lidia gives for aspiring photographers is to see up to date art in museums, collect daily art books and be very critical with yourself.

Brooke shaden beginning of doing her photography experimenting and finding her style she knew fine well she did not want to make straight ahead images and relies on photoshop to create images that only exist in her mind. She creates otherworldly photographs with a surreal dark imagery focusing on movement and painterly effect with a  whimsical feeling. Brooke spends about 5-7 hours per picture in photoshop, when the image get's complicated she spends 35 hours on a single picture in photoshop, when put pictures together she blends the images to create a single layer and then begin to make colour/ contrast to make image stand out.

Brooke shaden "I wanted to evoke feelings from people" she explains " I soften my images and add texture to make them look painterly"

Process of Levitation

Sebastien Barriol

Two main ways to achieve this is com-positioning variety of completely different shots to build up the composition or taking few photos same position with camera sitting on tripod. Sebastien layers both images in photoshop and masked out the chair.







Dani Diamond

Once the background is captured it is best to take shots of the model and try and take pictures of the model and background in the same place and at the same hour. When comes to compositions photographers look for the inconsistencies. Lighting and shadows are the first to give away that fact the photo was a composition of images which is why its best to shoot model and background the same time and area. Most important part of levitation shoot is capturing the body of the model in a natural position whether is be jumping in mid air or lying down, the body's language has to math the levitation.

Editorial magazine research

Love is a bi annual magazine, despite it's glossy pages, the magazine has a raw look and is twice yearly developed of inspiration for designer, artists for visual ideas. Love opens its readers to developments of music and pop culture.

Another is bi annual culture fashion for men and women. It was launched in 2001 under the publishing company dazed group. It's blend of high fashion and world class photography features on the arts, politics and literature to set it apart and  make crafted collector's item, published twice a year in September and February.

Vogue In the 1960s, with Diana Vreeland as editor in top most and personality, the magazine began to appeal to the youth of the sexual revolution by focusing more on contemporary fashion and editorial features that openly discussed sexuality. The name vogue means style in french,  as of May 20th had one year anniversary of a healthy body initiative, the initiative represents a commitment from the editors to promote positive body images.

Australian editor Edwin Mcann explained: 

In the magazine we're moving away from those very young, very thin girls. We ask ourselves what can Vogie do about it? And an issue like this (june 2013 issue) is what we can do about it. If I was aware of a girl being ill on photo shoot I wouldn't allow that shoot to go ahead, or if a girl had an eating disorder I would not shoot her.
