From the drawings and photos I had done, made me want to start looking at other artist work that I could work from and get different ideas of drawing the figure.
A photographer that stood out whos images I though were beautiful is Sally Mann, I bought her book still time which has a combination of different topics but I focused at looking at the figure images.
What I feel is so amazing about her work is she does not just do the figure in a form way she compliments it with something different. In the first image she has used a wet piece of silk or some sort of material to add a romantic tone to the picture which could be seen as vulgar. In the second image there is this sense of mystery not knowing why the arm is clasping the wall and how the fan like sleeve makes the hand look even more delicate. In the last image which is one of my favourite it is a child's figure with a flower of some kind acting as a large necklace. The white of the flower contrasts so well with the darkness of the skin. I feel all of these images are so simple yet enticing for the viewer.
Another Photographer I found with researching Miroslow Tichy. His work has a vintage feel to it as if the images are very old and not quite in focus. What I find amazing about him is he makes his own cameras that is why his images have such an intriguing affect. Here are some examples below.
Here is a picture of one of his home made cameras, this could be a possible area I could go into, making my own camera to create intriguing affects.
