National Portrait Gallery...

Photographers and their work:
Nadav Kander:

(Tinie Tempa b.1988)

Here i like how the close-up of the photograpgh makes it a lot more dramatic effect. I like also the fact he's not looking straight at the camera and instead looking at an angle.



Daniel Stier:

(Gok Wan b.1974)

John Swannell:

• He was born in 1946
• Firstly, he worked as an assistant at vogue studios after he left school at 16. Then he assisted David Bailey for four years before he opened his own studio.
• He worked for magazines such as, vogue, Harperes and queen, the sunday times and tatler. He travelled and worked for about 10 years.
• During this time he began to develop his own style of photograpghy which included both fashion and beauty.

                                                         (John Swannell and David Bailey)

I really Like this photographers work, his work stood out to me in the gallery becasue i like how all his image captures beauty and fashion but in many different ways. He seems to get his models to do really posy pictures to capture their personality which seems to be the commercial aspect of his photograpghy. For example Phill Lynott with the guitar and Victoria Beckham posing on the chair. I also like how John Swannell uses a range of colour and black and white in his photograpghs as it creates different affects.
