5. The photograph is a silhouette of a
woman with her hair up and
jumping on a plain white
background. In the Woman’s
Silhouette here is a mixture of
image and colour of a statue in a
museum. There are also other
images incorporated into the
silhouette but are unclear other
than an arm wrapped around
something. The red and parts of
black are in the perfect position of
the clothes of the woman creating a
sort of dress look.

6. The woman is placed mostly to the
center of the image, when shooting
models on a plain white background it
is often customary to have them
placed centrally to make sure the
focus is on them (not that there’s
much else to focus on anyway) the
images inside the woman's silhouette
are placed at a low angle looking up

7. Using a fast shutter speed with a high
iso setting and proper lighting creates
this sharp, mid jump image. With a
slower shutter speed the image would
have been blurry and not as sharp. The
iso and proper lighting helps to define
small features and details such as the
fingers and hair and loose bits of the
coat. Nick Knights style is unusual and
very striking. He is a much sought after
photographer for glossy magazines as
his sense of creativity creates a much
more interesting piece than a model
sat alone in a white room doing a
cliché pose

8. The picture is very sharp and
good quality and the images
inside the silhouette are placed
perfectly for the best possible
effect. The red highlights the
fashion and the museum ceiling
and statue work well as a
central image. The other image
however is sort of blurred
leaving only a faintly clear
image of an arm wrapped
around the statue if this was
perhaps clearer it may look
better.

9. Born in 1965, America
Father was also fashion
photographer
Unusual plain aesthetic to
photographs
Often puts himself in
pictures with models

12. The photograph is of lady gaga with
tightly slicked back hair wearing
only a white T-Shirt with the word
supreme printed on it. In this photo-
shoot there are many images of
gaga wearing only a shirt or shoes
but covered very carefully. The T-
shirt is stretched under and held in
place between her legs so as not to
expose herself.

13. Lady gaga is place central to the
image but the image is semi close-
up showing only her thighs and
upper body. In Typical Richardson
style the background is pure white
and crisp. This use if a plain
background and boring pose (for
most celebrities he shoots) Could
be a point on how they are just
normal people like the rest of us.

14. Intensive lighting has been used on
this particular picture with strong
backlights and flash. The
brightness has also most likely
been edited on Photoshop to make
the image crisper. Richardson's
Style involves placing celebrities in
mundane and Civilian poses and
plain backgrounds. He is often in
pictures with them showing that he
takes his photography lightly and as
fun instead of serious hard work.

15. The image itself is quite clear and
crisp and the red colours are really
emphasized and really stand out
against the white purity. The image
itself may also be a bit too bright
but when contrasted with the white
you hardly notice at all

16. Born in 1963, America
Career spans over director,
fine art photographer,
commercial photographer and
music video director
Often called the Fellini of
photography
Bright and unusual pop art
style
Worked with Andy Warhol at
age 17 on his first ever
photoshoot

19. The picture is off Amanda
Lepore rubbing her teeth after
evidently snorting diamonds
whilst wearing no clothes. The
picture itself does not show
drug usage but it is implied by
the lines of diamonds and the
rolled up dollar bill. The image
in the mirror is not a reflection
as it is different.

20. Amanda is placed mostly central
to the image with the
photographer standing above
looking down as to get the perfect
perspective view of the mirror
diamonds and rolled up dollar. The
background is blue unlike the
cliché white plain background
making it feel as though a real
room rather than a set up table in
the middle of nowhere.

21. As with other pictures from David
lachapelle the complementary
colours of blue and orange/gold
work together well. The
photographer is at a higher angle
looking slightly down to show the
reflection of the mirror and the
models nipple just over the table
to add slight provocation. The
bright colours and unusual models
are often a part of David
lachepelle’s work

22. An original and striking image
with bright colours and perfect
sharpness. The angle could be
slightly better to show more of
her arm perhaps
