Horst P Horst

Birthdate: August 14th, 1906

Current Residence: London , England

Education: Studied in Hamburg, Kunstgewerbeschule, and in Paris under Le Corbusier

Gaining his big break from being featured in the credits of British Vogue in the 1932 March issue, Horst hoisted himself into the fashion photography world. He used the surrealist approach to make his photos seem whimsical and beyond lifelike. High contrast photos with emphasis placed on the darker tones of the photo are what made his portraiture so alluring. His choice of framing and straight on snap shots also helped him develop his own style. Personally, I feel like his approach is strong and i really admire his use of shadows and direct focus on the subjects. In some of his work he uses the constructed reality technique which he does very successfully.

Tom Drahos

Born: November 17th , 1947 in Jablon (CZ)

Current Location: Paris, France

Education: Graphic Arts School (Prague), National Films Academy (Prague),

National Films Institute of Paris (France)

Tom is currently a teacher at The Regional School of Fine Arts in Rennes. His work has been featured in countless exhibits and publications. Using techniques like scanning and overlay he creates one of a kind pieces that tell a story of religion and suffrage. While is work is very interesting I don't quite get it. I don't understand his use of symbolism and pictures. I love his use of contrasting colors on the other hand.

Prompt #24

Part A.

Tom Drahos. The CLash. "ERYTHREE".2009

This series in particular is especially intriguing. Its hard to tell what techniques he uses to create his work due to the complicated composition. Im thinking a scanner plays a big part in creating these pieces. I would use various photos of people and color swatches to recreate this image, scan them in together, and then add to text.

Victor Schrager .The Garden. "Flowers"

This image seems that it would be very easy to recreate. Using a slower shutter speed and neon pieces of constuction paper would seem to be all the materials needed. Possibly using smaller scaled pieces or a larger aperture hole to create a different effect would work. While it seems fairly easy. It could be really hard to get the right amount of blur without losing the composition.

Part B.

Im really excited for the final project. I plan on create my own 5-8 page fashion spread. Seeing how I design my own clothing this will be a great opportunity for me to get some good photos of my work. I will be having hair and makeup artist help me. I also want to find the perfect setting to take the photos. Im using more a safari theme seeing how my line is comprised of all african batik printed fabrics.
