2. • On this particular picture, I cropped it to make it more in Victor Schragers style. The blurry boook at
the back makes the depth of field deeper. He closer the object the more clear the object is. The
colours and positions of he books is in the same style as Victor Schrager.
3. • The exposer enhances the white background and makes the open book
pages blend into the background. I used the saturation settings to make
the red stand out, I also used brightness to do the same thing. I used these
books because they have the same sort of colours as Victor Schrager.
4. This image
was the most
successful
because of the
position and
the colours
and has a
good depth of
field. This
picture is the
closest to
Victor
Schragers
style.
• In this picture I used a light hanging from above to create shadows on the
books. I have ‘enhanced’ the exposer on this photo giving it better depth
of field which gives the impression that the green book at the front is
floating- brightness enhanced the colour. The saturation brings out the
white backdrop making the books stand out.
5. • Victor Schrager orginal image : His interest in the aesthetics of hard-cover books
followed from his early ‘Botany’ series (1999-2000) when he used them as backdrops. ‘I
was always taken with the evocative colours of old hard covers.’ He experimented with
the plate camera’s selective focus, considering its swings and tilts as a way to physically
engage the elements of a picture and soon became hooked, photographing nearly
nothing but the books for five years – the project became an obsession.
