Libowsky+Portrait



__ [|The first image] __, shot by Timothy White, utilises available light casted into the room through the window. All of the canvas is being actively used, applied with a black vignette, filling the frame, and creating rule of thirds by having my man James Frank-Frank off to the left with the bed to the right. Some leading lines are present such as the bed sheets, bed frame, pillows, and bedside table. The simplicity of this photo takes it a step further than just a photo with the colours, lighting, and mood. The lavender walls and bed make the viewer feel calmed and relaxed, and James ‘The Great’ Franco provides a focal point. This p hotograph reminds me that in my photos they can still be simplistic to be exceptional.

The next photo, [|__Marilyn Monroe__], uses artificial studio light. The only compositional technique that’s clear is level the horizon. The photo stood out from the rest because it demonstrates many different emotions and movement of Marilyn causing the piece to feel alive. I may use this concept in a future work because it really involves the person looking at the photo.

[|__This photo__] is captured by Julia Margaret Cameron. Compositional techniques active are rule of thirds, focal point, and level the horizon. Lighting is a little difficult to detect because of how worn the image appears, but I would guess it is artificial light, maybe studio. The photo looks like one that you would find in the basement of the Murder House in season one of American Horror Story which will influence my work because I like that time period and mood the photos from then give off.
