Traditional fine art
Bill Brandt is another famous fine art photographer who is well known for his portraits on seascapes, and distorting the models body to look like stones or part of the landscape.
Man Ray is one of the most famous fine art photographers therefore I have began by looking at his photography for inspiration.
Modern/contemporary fine art
Erwin Blumenfeld is a famous photographer well known for his modernism approach to photography.His Vogue covers are high contrast, high key shots with some ideas of fine art. See images below.
I would like to research into using high key lighting set ups and create high contrast and colourful images that portray fine art.
Another photographer I have researched is Ralph Pullmanns, he uses the idea of modern fine art to create abstract, colourful images.
I came across Debra Frieden's work when I was researching abstracting fine art photography. I was instantly intrigued and inspired by her work.
She experiments with the idea of focusing, to create a 'dream like' photograph. I think this style of editing would work well with my abstract approach.
