Tyler Shields
Started in the industry by directing music video and then moved in to photography. He has a very clear understand of how to use light in images can manipulate the viewers perception of what they are viewing in these image below he has used the light behind the figure so their is a sense of mystery as to who these figure are. In the bottom image the light emphasises the isolation of the single dancer in a vast space with an light behind her. He also takes photographs of quite controversial subjects often based around celebrities and material possession, he book coming out soon is based on this it is called 'The dirty side of glamour'
Mert Alas and Marcus Piggott
'Mert and Marcus are Mert Alas and Marcus Piggott, fashion photographers. Their work and style is heavily influenced and shaped by the photography of Guy Bourdin and also the use of digital manipulation of which they have pioneered the use. They have defined the look of the past decade and as a duo are one of the most respected and acclaimed photographers working today."The difference between us and other photographers is that we care a lot about appearance," says Alas. "We spend most of the time in the make-up and hairstyling rooms".'
They use light in their images in such a flattering way, I realised as I was looking though their portfolio online of their images, all of the magazine photographers I really like are done by them. Here are some examples below
using colour filers with the figure and a simple prop to create a beautiful image
using texture literally on the face creating an intriguing photograph
A black and white image lookes quite old grain effect on the image and soft light heavy influenced by the matches flame and possibly more where the camera cant see. I really like the whole set up of this photo, it looks like a still from a film
An example of Guy Bourdin work, quite voyeristic however the model is look directly into the camera lense almost try to entice the viewer.
