Fashion photography using shadows

The shadows in the photograph, have been used very successfully, by highlighting the models face and making her eye the main focus point of the image. The shadow is very unusual and therefore portrays a very questioning effect on the image towards the viewer. The light is also a very large part of the image, contrasting highly with the shadow, making it very strong and defined. I would say that the image has been edited slightly making the contrast greater between the light and shadow, and also made more defined by photographic light as sunlight would not make that effect alone. - Photographer Tyra Banks

This image is very calm and has very close value. Somehow the shadow mainly being on the models chest does not make that the focus point, which it normally would. The focus point however being the models face by the small amount of light shining on the side of her face being reflected onto her face making that stand out the most. The light agin is very bright in the image however the contrast is not so dense, making the image a lot calmer and warmer. Even though the brightest part of the image is on the models chest does not make it the focus point, but as the light is shining down the one side of her face highlights it and makes it stand out the most and as it is at the top of the image it makes it the first thing you look at. - Photographer Tyra Banks

This image again has close value, making the image seem calm, but the models eyes seem strong and powerful as the light is hitting there the most and making that the focus point. The shadow reflecting off her eye and on to her eyelid has the most contrast in the whole photograph making this seem as stated earlier stronger. Although the photograph is black and white the contrast is not that strong which is odd for a black and white image as the contrast is normally very great as black and white are opposite ends of the colour wheel. - Photographer Tyra Banks

This image has close value making it seem calm, the shadow is refrained only being shown on the models arm and face. This works well making these the main focus's of the image. As the most light on this image is on her face shining directly onto her eye I would say this is the focus point of the image. The shadow is very unusual and makes the viewer wonder what would make that pattern, this is a very creative way to show shadow in an image. Having only a small amount of shadow on the model is very dfferent to all of the other photographs taken in this style, making it very original. - Photographer Tyra Banks 

70's Fashion Photography

This image has close value making it seem calm and warm. Having an old car straight away makes the image seem as though it was not taken recently. It gives it a 70's feel also having an old radio on top of the car makes it have that feel to it. I wouldn't say photographic lights have been used to create this image I believe sunlight has just been used very creatively and at the right time of day. -Photographer Anastasia Kalenkovich

This photograph you can see is from the 70's from the old bike to the hippy style clothing and hair style. The lighting going into this picture is coming from behind the model making almost a silhouette effect. I really like how it is like friends taking pictures of other friends, which gives a really good effect and makes it original. As other photographers have made it obviously a photoshoot where as Gemma Booth has gone out of the box and tired something new. -Photographer Gemma Booth

60's Fashion Photography

This is an amazing image which I used in my personal study, I recreated this image and was very pleased with how it turned out. I chose this photograph because you can tell the generation straight away from looking at the image. It is very simple and almost looks like a school photo. The lighting is shone straight onto the models face, showing up the cheek bones and making the contrast very great and defined.
