4. Edith Maybin as a Fine Art photographer,
mainly focuses on portraits. I find her images
inspirational as she takes her images and uses
them to create a story. She has nice washed
out colours which is something I would want
to do and takes her images outside and uses
less lighting to make her images quite low
lighting. I would like to focus more on facial
features as well as the body but her images
are a great inspiration for my portraiture work.

5. Ron Van Dongen is a Fine Art photographer but his
images are mainly focused on still life and flowers. I
like the simplicity of these images but how they
have lots of different textures and details. I also like
how he has changed some into monochrome and
kept the colourful flowers in colour. He gets really
up close to the flowers and he uses quite low
lighting especially in the top monochrome images
which bring out the shadows within the flowers. I
also like how the backgrounds are completely one
colour and there is no distractions.

6. I like the different and unusual aspect of
Tierney Gearsonâs work. Her work is powerful
and really fits in within Fine Art. She uses quite
simple images but puts her own twist to them
like the top three images have different
coloured boxes around the main subject of the
images and this helps highlight the subjects in
the images. The right image is like a museum
enclosure and the children are behind this
glass with them and it is something you
wouldnât see in everyday life and that is how
she works.

7. Mark Shaw is a Fine Art photographer who also
focuses on portraits. He is quite an old
photographer who photographed
celebrities/models and their lifestyles. I like
the simple and tidy look of his photographs
and how he captures celebrities in their
limelight. His use of monochrome and washed
out colours are the tones of colours I would
like to use for my portrait photos.
