This portrait images is one of my favourite composition. The contrast of the monochromatic tones, the hostility and fragile vulnerability of the subject. It captures a narrative.

The idea that I have for my final project is monochromatic studio and location abstract portraits. I hope to shoot up to10 different people, varying in gender, age and lifestyles. I want my images to be evocative and unsettling, whilst also being beautiful and tasteful. I will shoot my subjects in a variety of states.

I feel asthough photograph is the best medium for these images for the narratives and compositional techniques of the images are so vast that only a photographed could provide the view with enough time to fully dissect the images. Any other mediums, for example videography, would be too distracting and take away from all the hidden layers that make up these images

What I want to achieve as a photographer

# data[].attributes.body
As a photographer I hope to be able to produce high quality, gripping and constrasting Fine Art photographs. I hope to direct my style towards nature, and abstract portraits. I want my images to be evoking and to make people feel uncomfortable in ways that dig deep into narratives they once oppressed. I stylisticly more often than not tend to shot monochromatic images on a digital SLR, I hope to experiment with film photography. I hope to achieve both studio and location shot compositions

All of the images and photographers chosen hold my highest admiration, I am drawn to them for an abundance of reasons, the narratives they tell, the compostional techniques, how grasping and intriguing they are. When I first encountered these images I was drawn, I knew that I wanted to use them as a inspirational foundation for the kind artist I hope to become

All the photographic artist I have chosen to represnt what I find inspiring all take black and white monochromatic images. There is a reoccuring theme of each artist having deeper meanings to their images, a narrative of expression that is deeper than what the images may first appear; their is complexity. Artist such as Sally Mann and Aaron Siskind focus on decay, Robert Mapplethorpe and Diane Abbot work represnt those who were shunned and seen as a taboo to their societies. Idris Khans images works on demostrating complexity, technique and hidden narratives. as many of the others.

Aaron Siskind was an American photographer born on the 4th of December 1903 and died on the 8th of Feburary 1991. Siskind worked through the Socail Realism and Abstract Expressionist movements. I most enjoy Aaron Siskinds analouge location shoots where he captures the decay and peeling of man made structures by the natual elements. Siskinds work demonstrates focus and detail. To me Mr Siskind created images so high class and detailed that allwows them to transcen from just being photographical compositions and istead becoming works of Fine Art.

Robert Mapplethorpe was an American Photographer who outraged and horrified the masses but also enticed and intrigued them with his honest and provocative images. Born on the 4th of November 1946 , Mapplethorpe used his background as being a gay cosmopolitian male as fuel for his creative ideas. Before his Death on the 9th of March 1989, Mapplethorpe changed the art scene. He had such high technical skils and used lighting to such an outstanding degree. Many of his work feautred nudity and focused heavily on the naked male form, leather and bdsm  but Mapplethorpe is also noted for his erotic images of flowers.

Robert Mapplethorpe, for me, is insipring because of his use of tone, detail and light. The contrast in his images excel greatly. Another factor that draws me to Mapplethorpe works is how impactful yet tasteful his images are; although they maybe showing subject matters that may offend and make some uncomfortable, I find his images beautifully constructed.

American Photographer born on the 14th of March 1923 and died on the 26th of July 1971. Diane Arbus was noted for her work focusing mainly on the "shunned, outcasted and overlooked memebers of society. She is know best for her images of members of the LGBTQ+ community, the homeless, those suffering from dwarfisim, memebers of the circus etc.

I admire and take insipiration from Dianes images for I find them so harrowing yet beautiful. She's captured such earth shaking narratives in each of her compositions. She took those who were once casted aside and ignore, and gave them representation.

One technique I most enjoy about Dianes work is her ability to allow each of her subjects to flll the images and be front and center, this is a compositional technique I feel she utilised to the greater good of her narratives and intent of bringing those who were once hidden to the for-fornt.

Idris Khan is a British Photographer and Visual artist born in 1978. Khan uses his personal biographical upbrining as a basis for a few of his images by layering images of the Qu'ran repeadtedly. His technique of repetition is one I admire for it creates a level of complexity that allows viewers to become lost in the piece as they try to dissect it. Although many of Khans images have lots going on, he still presents compositions that are neat and visually satisfying
