Assignment 6

For this project I wanted to somehow tie in my undying love for fashion, so I decided to create a spread that could be seen in a magazine. Recently I completed a collection using nothing but African Batik printed fabrics. I wanted to give a feel of the being in the wild , while still keeping the primary focus on the apparel. Luckily I was able to fins the perfect location in Okemos, MI right outside of my apartment building. With the use of natural lighting and concise framing I was about to capture the perfect shoots, thus making my first magazine editorial spread a success.

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.
