Life on Sundays - Tumblr

Again I have found images on a Tumblr account so I have struggled to find out much information on the artist.

This image shows how hair can be used in the image to look very delicate and change the perception of the stance that the model has taken. her stance is very strong as if she was very confident however the stranding hair shows that she is actually delicate, this may suggest that even though the model might act strong she is actually quite emotional. The light across her skin and background is very soft suggesting that a soft box or diffusing lamp/light shade would have been used, this would explain how it looks like its shining at an angle from above the model. I think that this image was taken digitally. This would allow the photographer to take this image very easily with changing light. If the lighting was a light bulb the photographer would have had to use a high ISO to compensate for the lack of light; which would explain the amount of noise in the images.

This image is quite different to the previous image. It looks like the light source is natural light because the whole image is very bright and there is barely any grain. The depth of field is very narrow and only a small area of the models back is in focus. Fragmenting it to make the back and shoulder blades the focus of the image. There are no dark or black areas in the image; I think that this is so that we as the audience is capable of viewing and analysing the models back. I also believe that this image was taken digitally and then manipulated to greyscale which might have effected the contrast of the tones.

Chafographie - Tumblr

These images are from the account Chafographie on Tumblr so I was unable to find much information on this photographer.

This image is very similar to work I have produced before however the light has been used in the opposite way. Instead of white lines to define the models shape; the photographer has used shadow. The grey background also defines the lower back of the model since as it has been over exposed. The use of space defines the model and the detail of the tones across her skin. I think that only a couple of lights have been used, one for the background because of the shadow on the right and a single light with a directional reflector on the models lower back. I feel that this image could have been cropped in a little because the intensity of the tones around the bottom is not carried across to the other side of the model. The greys on the right really lets down the left. There is also a line in the lower left corner which I find very distracting so I would look to use an infinity curve studio if I was to improve this image.

This image has clearly used movement meaning that a long exposure would have to have been used. Considering that the exposure is very accurate. I think that the room may have been quite dark and a single light source was used from in front and to the right of the model. The model seems to have jumped up and flicked her head back, however there are defined lines where the models legs and arms have been which would suggest that the lighting is actually strobe lighting which highlights the models curvature. The light from the right creates strong shadows on the left of the models body which hides the face and the details of her body; so it appears to show the silhouette of her body, which stands out against the dull background. I also think that this image was taken on film because of the smoothness of the lines across the skin and the smoothness on the tones fading into the background.
