2. Heitor Magno
Heitor Mango is an experimental photographer who likes
to use double exposure and replaces the faces of his
models with different things such as scenery, fire and
smoke.
I especially like this image of a woman who has had her
face replaced by pink flowers, I think it is a very stylish
and modern technique and looks very good when done
right, we can still make out that it is a woman’s face by
the features such as the nose and the chin.
The techniques he has used include double exposure
and also out of focus photography because the image is
a little blurry.
I would categorise this photograph and the rest of his
photographic work as non-traditional because it is very
independent and different from most photographers
work and that of other photographers who use this same
technique, I would also put it in this category because it
looks artistic and abstract. I would also categorise this
particualr photograph as contemporary because of what
the subject is but I think the technique he has used
could also be used to create a historical photograph and
I think a photograph like this would most likely be found
in small galleries or in modern fashion magazines to
promote a new fashion range or story on a particualr
person such as this image which was used in a fashion
magazine to promote a new line of clothing and also to
promote the designer who was modelling the clothes
and giving the interview.

3. Props:
The props they have used in
this photograph is mainly
part of the second
photograph which is an
image of the flowers, the
use of this prop has been
used very well to convey to
the audience the theme and
possibly the personality of
the model which could also
be the theme of the
photograph.
I also think that the
photographer has used the
models hair as a prop too
again to convey the theme
or the personality because it
has been styled in a very
simple, smart and clean
way.
Theme:
Overall the theme for this photograph could be a number of things, it could
be a theme of the season which would be summer or spring because of the
photograph of the brightly coloured flowers used and the fact that the models
hair is tied up which insinuates that the weather is hot. The theme could also
be a representation of the models personality or the photographers
personality because of the techniques they have used because we cannot
see the models face so we cannot see her expression but the other
photograph shows that their personality could be quite bright and happy.
Colour:
The colour of this photograph is very important because I think the theme of
this photograph is the personality and characteristics of the model or
possibly the photographer, the colours used in this photograph show this
theme very well because they have used very bright colours which
represents happiness and friendliness but they have also used pale colours
which could have been used to make the bright colours stand out more but
they could also have been used to convey the personality of being sad or
lost as if the pale colours represented fog.
Technique:
The techniques they have
used in this photograph
include double exposure
and out of focus, the
double exposure
technique allows the
photographer to take two
separate images and layer
them together to get a
result like this photograph,
they have done this here
by removing the models
face and replacing it with a
photograph of flowers.
They have also used an
out of focus technique
because the photograph is
slightly blurred.

4. Katie Hosmer
Katie Homer is a traditional formal photographer who
also likes to create images based on experimental
photography, scanography in particular.
This image stood out to me because of the techniques
she has used the way the image looks, because the
models hair is laying on the scanner it looks as if she in
underwater and the use of the props created a good
effect too because it gives the image a theme and also
gives it colour.
There are a number of techniques such as out of focus
and mainly scanography, I also think that the flowers are
more in focus than the model which gives and
interesting effect.
I would categorise this image as non-traditional because
this technique is very different from any other
photographic technique and this particular scan is very
abstract, I would also categorise it as contemporary
again because it is different and abstract but also
because most scanography photographs can be
categorised as fine art and would see it in abstract
galleries orto be used in advertising, an example of
scanography used in advertising is an image used for
the golfing company Wilson who scanned this image to
create an individual effect from other company adverts
to promote their products.

5. Props:
The use of props in this photograph
are very interesting because it tells
the audience a lot about what the
theme of the photograph is, the
photographer has used a collection
of flowers and leaves to portray
the theme of weather on a whole
or one season in particular, I think
they have also tried to incorporate
the hair into the scan as a prop to
show the weather theme.
Colour:
Colour is one of the main
aspects of this photograph
because it communicates with
the audience what the theme is
by representing the season
because of the colour of the
leaves and the models skin and
the colour of the flowers which
also resemble the season and
also brighten the photograph a
little bit and make it more
appealing and eye catching to
the audience.
Theme:
The theme for this photograph I
think is based on weather or on
a particular season, I think the
photographer has tried to
capture autumn because of the
use of props and the model, I
think this because they have
used brown leaves which
indicates that the leaves are
falling off the trees and that it is
becoming colder and
developing into winter, I also
think this because of the way
they have positioned the models
hair as if it were a windy
season. The colour of the
models skin could also
resemble autumn because she
has quite tanned skin as
summer has just passed.
Technique:
For this photograph the photographer has chosen
to use scanography for their technique, I think this
always gives the photograph a very interesting
effect and creates an abstract theme no matter
what the theme is.
I also think that this photograph is out of focus
which also gives it an abstract and artistic effect.

6. Daniel Barreto
Daniel Barreto is an experimental photographer who likes to
play with light and movement in his work.
This image that I found was the most interesting because it
includes so many different aspects and techniques.
First of all he has used both light and movement to create this
image and the result makes it look like ghosts or spirits in the
woods, I also like that the tree in the middle is still in focus and
still visible.
I would categorise this image as non-traditional again
because of the techniques he has used and also because
they are similar to the last two photographs in the sense that it
is abstract and very different from many other styles of
photography I also think I would class it as non-traditional
because if the methods he has used to create it because it
was created by using non natural light sources, I would aslo
class it as a contemporary again because of the techniques
and the fact that the photographer has chosen the subject of
ghost which could link into the photograph being historical but
the techniques and the way he has created the image I think
categorise it as contemporary would find it mainly in abstract
galleries and on adverts or possibly used on a film poster, an
example of light trail photography used on an advert is this
image which depicts a line of traffic with a light trail going
through it representing the vespa bike as if to say that buying
the bike will allow you to cut traffic, the light trail technique
also symbolises that the product may be fast because the
camera is not able to capture it.

7. Technique:
The technique mainly
used in this photograph
and a collection of other
photographs created by
the same photographer
is light trail which can be
produced using a source
of light and a slow
shutter speed in order to
capture the moving light.
I think that the
photographer has used
this technique because it
is the best when creating
photographs that are
made to look abstract
and artistic, I think the
photographer has taken
an artistic tun on the
ghost theme by using
this technique.
Props:
There are very few props used in this photograph but the ones that have
been used include the sources of light and the tree in the middle, I think
these props are important to convey the message of the theme across
because they help to create the image, the light sources help to create the
light trails and the tree in the middle helps to pronounce the ghostly theme
because of the way the flash from the camera has lit it up or the light
sources around it have.
Theme:
The theme for this photograph is very clearly based around ghosts and
spirits because of the technique used and the props the photographer
has used.
They have clearly conveyed the theme using the right lighting too
because the tree in the centre of the photograph has been lit up perfectly
to create scary looking scene a long with the ghostly light figures around
it which could insinuate that it is haunted.
Colour:
I think the colours used in this
photograph are very dark
compared to the two previous
photographs but the darker
colours help to bring out the
light ghostly white and blue
colours, I think these dark
colours have been chosen
because of the theme, ghosts
and spirits are commonly linked
to death and horror which is
seen as a dark subject, I think
the colours also portray the thee
very well because they bring out
the ghostly figures because they
have used bright colours for
those parts of the photograph.
