In this session, we were continuing with our Mapplethorpe inspired work, i thought that this session was a lot harder because we were using a camera on a stand and i found it difficult adjusting the camera so it was in the right position and it was also hard finding different ideas to take photographs.
This is one of my photographs from this session and this picture of Molly shows me how my work needs to be improved, it may be an up close shot but the orientation of it cuts out the hair so if the camera was portrait then it would have better composition.
This photograph of Chloe i feel is more similar to Mapplethorpe's work as she has got a very simple facial expression and although i like the photograph there is a lot of excess background on the left and upper parts of the photograph.
Progression - If i was to re-do this session i would try and use more models in order to gain a wider variety of images which relate to Mapplethorpe's work, i would also work on my composition as i feel it still needs some more work. This is one of Mapplethorpe's photographs, he is using two models and he is contrasting their skin against each other and the back ground. I would like to use more than one model in my work as i feel that Mapplethorpe's use of two models has a greater effect than just one.
