Five to one- the doors

Five to one is rumored to be the approximate ratio of whites to blacks, old to young, or non-pot smokers to pot smokers in the US in 1967, depending on whom you ask. A further urban legend has it as the ratio of Viet Cong to American troops in Vietnam. However, when asked, Jim Morrison said the lyrics were not political

FURNITURE & FASHION- JAMES KING

James King is a UK fashion and furniture photographer. I decided to look at his work because in most normal fashion shoots, the photographer is often trying to make the model the main focus point/ subject matter, but in his collection 'Inside', he decided to make the furniture, often classy and in rich tones, the main focal point. I like this particular image because of the way the material is draped onto the arm chair, the same way in which clothes are elegantly often placed on models

SPRING

For spring I decided I wanted to submit one of my own photographs to the blog, mostly because it is also one of my favourite photographs I have taken. This photograph was taken in 2008 in a park in Manchester on my first digital camera (not very hi-res) BUT I believe it is still a strong image because of the way in which the man walking his dog becomes a centre point because both of them are darker tones, in comparison to the oranges and reds of the leaves in spring and so it becomes very atmospheric.

The Tower Of Wine

When looking for more creative forms of advertisement photography for Cooper's project, I found these images by Liverpool commercial photographer, Paul Whitte. On his own blog he mentioned how he was interested in making structures from every day objects- ofcoarse these being wine glasses. I am interested by this image because the way in which it is balanced is very risky and yet works perfectly for the shot/ advert.

MILK: SPLASH

I decided for this reccomendation I would not look directly at generic photographs of milk, but find more interesting ways in which it has been used for effect. I was interested in these photographs by commerical photographer, Jeff Denzer, because of the way in which he not only tried to achieve the traditional image of milk splashing, but how he was more creative in the way in which he added food colouring to the milk to create more quirky and fun images.

Furniture

This photograph was taken by Adrian Heapy, which is a photography company based in the Midlands. I like this image because of the boldness of the colour of the sofa, also how there are only three colours within the frame, purple, brown and black.

Spring

The promotional image for global fashion brand EDUN. USP's of EDUN is positive trading relationship with Africa, and is supporting their cotton farmers through the recovery of 25 years of civil war in UGANDA specifically. This image reflects spring both as their 2012 spring/summer campaign, but the contemporary use of butterlies is an original use of symbolism. Butterflies represent beauty and new life, something the label itself is trying to encourage in UGANDA.

Spring photography

for spring photography i found this blog it doesn't say who the photographer is. i like the images that are posted on the wall as i think it illustrates spring very well and i think it shows you in different stages what happens and how the tree's blossom and everything starts to look pretty and is not all droopy and dull looking...

This is the link to the blogger as i cant find who the photographer is.... HAVE A LOOK!

Madison Indiana

I chose this image because its simple and because the colours and small amount of lighting help show spring very well.

Ellen Kooi

she is a dutch photographer who caught my eye with her use of spring like colours and settings, she uses out of the ordinary placing for her models to create a mystery feel to her images.

Spring.

Make Mine Milk

Make Mine Milk - an EU campaign featuring celebrities including Rupert Grint, Jenson Button and Kelly Rowland encouraging people to drink more milk as opposed to fizzy or alcoholic beverages. They use the milk mustache for comedy value, while also using the celebrities as role models to 'young people.'

LOL

This photograph of Whoopi Golberg was taken by Annie Leibovitz.

The picture was inspired by one of Goldberg's stage routines, in which she plays a little black girl who uses Clorox to wash her skin in an attempt to be white.

The shoot required gallons of milk that were warmed in pots on the stove and poured into a bathtub. Goldberg then slipped in the bath and stuck out her tongue.
