Frank Schott

Frank Schott has created a serise of images that are of light trails like the one above. These images were achieved by shooting the images at night and using a long exposure and the subject being moved around to create a trail of light.

Keith arnatt did a series of photographs called 'canned sunsets' I like this photographs because they are very unique and interesting. he uses a simple object and makes it look like something completely different.

Daniel Lindh

Daniel Lindh is a still life photographer who photographs all types of still life but has worked with a lot of well known brands such as h & m, Dior, Estee' Lauder, and a lot of other brands. He is a Swedish photographer but was went to an australian college and come away with a degree in graphic design. People describe his work as meticulous and pure. He has previously also worked in as an art director and a typographer.

Jonathan Knowles

Jonathan knowles is an advertising and still life photographer, he has photographed campains for many famous production companies such as cadburys and budweiser. his still life work is all very simple yet punchy and effective especially his drinks campains such as his guiness advertising posters with the three pint glasses. this campain has grown to become huge. a lot of his work is ugley simple and minimalistic where he will simply have a very plain background with a bottle well lit in the foreground, maybe a bit of liquid thrown onto the bottle but then he often ggoes to the other extreme where he will have a bottle with a very colourful, vibrant, multi coloured background with crazy colours all over the place depending on which type of product he is shooting. i beleive he is very good at picking his audience and knows whether too make a product look exciting and bold or simply classy, sophisticated. often his work is edited in a post production program like PS but un-like pother photographers he does not hire a separate post production crew, he edits it all himself. i think his work stands out as it doesnt has many similarities to other still life advertising.

Elaine

cant find much information on this photographer as I found her on flickr, but she has some very interesting pictures of miniatures on real objects.

These are the only to images I could use as the rest are on flickr so i cant save or copy the images.http://www.flickr.com/photos/cybertoad/tags/miniature/

Irving Penn

Penn photographed still life objects and found objects in unusual arrangements with great detail and clarity. While his prints are always clean and clear, Penn's subjects varied widely. Many times his photographs were so ahead of their time that they only came to be appreciated as important works in the modernist canon years after their creation.

Keith Arnatt

Keith Arnatt produced abstract pieces. The project entailed photographing the lids of tins with an incredibly shallow depth of field. The shallow depth of field blended the colours from the rubbish tip together as if it were a watercolor painting. The procariously placed lids represent the sin; the colours represent the sun setting or rising over the rubbish dump where these photographs were shot. As a photographer he is still relativly underground; making it difficult to find information about his work on Google.

CINDY SHERMAN

Cindy Shermans photography was all staged and mostly self portraiture. she had a series of work named 'Film Stills' in which she created different personas for herself using costumes and different sets. she appears to create stereo typical scenes in which she is able to display female mannerisms. she always created a staged narative in her works.

Annie Leobovitz does mostly staged photography and my most favourite projects is of the Disney photographs and also the fairy tale. I like these photographs because of the colours and also how the models are dressed. the clothes they are wearing are really good outfits and make them look like they are in the fairy tale which they are supposed to be in :)

Terra Kate

Making the subject, levitate, float, fly, go upsidedown, and just contain weird and abnormal things so that she can create a 'fantasy' sort of state in her staged images.

Looking on her portfolio (http://www.terrakate.com/beginningportfolio) shows so many different fantasy staged images which i find are really interesting.

Les Krims

Les krims produced a body of work in which he took one photo and added others to create a photo collage style print. He then released a body of work called little america, where he took dwarfs and ut them in the position of the everyday person in the south of america in a very brave statement of work.

Cindy Sherman

Cindy Sherman creates photograhs herself whilst disguised as characters attempting to create a narrative through a series or within a single frame. To do this, she physically alters her own appearance with the use of fake tan, wigs, costumes and makeup. In her earl work she recreated film stills and through the series described the roles different women play in society. She featured vulnerability and strength throughout these photographs. In her more recent work, she looked into the ideas of plastic surgery and altering your face to make yourself look good. Despite the photographs being unappealing and a poor advertisement of how you could look, there is a definate look of pride of the models that suggest they feel happy with the results of the work despite viewers disagreeing.
