Olaf Breuning is such a cool photographer. When I first started researching his work, I was overwhelmed with his strong sense of repetition, rhythm and pattern. Also, it was so interesting to see the models that were actually painted as famous paintings (like the Van Gogh - Starry starry night painted on the woman).
For my photo, I wanted to do something with patterns. I also wanted to include something touching on the use of lighting. I love the photo where the shadows of objects are actually the subject itself. So, I wanted dramatic lighting and pattern. And that's what I did. I like the crop of this - I feel like it gives the photo a sense of depth. With the depth, it adds another dimension to the photo - and this is much like the style of Breuning who used simple concepts to create beautiful work. I also used a brighter toned fabric because I loved his use of bright colours.
I think this photo is very interesting, and I love the fact that it is monochromatic because the pattern on the fabric is very captivating itself! Beautiful shot :)

Eric this is awesome! Love the idea and how the form of the body creates depth.
ReplyDeleteI know you wanted to use the one element of fabric throughout the whole frame, but it may be interesting to add something else...that is orange perhaps, to really make it pop! Just a thought.
I love love love it.

Eric, You turned something that could be very simple into a very interesting photograph! love the concept behind this, and the patterns blending in together is very strange and captures the eyes the way Olaf's pictures captures our eyes from looking at them!

I really look what you did with this Eric! That fabric looks beautiful haha. The contrast with the straight and flat background with the crumpled fabric on the model is very appealing to look at.Also the angle you shot this at and the crop really adds to the photo. My eyes really like to move around in this photograph.
