Photgraphy analysis

Henrik Bonnevier

Henrik Bonnevier is a swedish photographer whose work includes fashion still life and has had clients such as,Condé Nast Traveller, Bon Magazine, Gourmet, Toyota, IKEA, and Moby and the work is used to advertised their products.

 Colour plays an important part in his work as he uses high contrast colours and lighting, which clashes making some objects stand out from the rest of the image, which he uses to advertise, as the brighter colours are used to show the more important objects being advertised so it draws attention to those certain objects.
There is also a very planned composition in all of his work because he uses a range of objects therefore he needs to make sure everything fits together and that the objects trying to be advertised stand out the most, his work is quite contemporary as he is photographing fashion items therefore it as to look appealing to the target audience.

Edward Weston

Edward Weston was a 20th century American photographer who has been called "one of the most innovative and influential American photographers", he photographed a number of subjects including, landscapes, still lifes, nudes, portraits and genre scenes.

Alot of Westons work is very close up to the subject and doesn't always contain the whole object, this is done to focus on the detail of the subject and show the textures in the subject, he uses dark backgrounds throughout most of his work so that the subject it's self stands out from the the back ground although there is not much contrast between the background and the subject as the set up of the shoot would have been very simple and he may have used only one light therefore making the image appear soft and delicate as there isn't much contrast, although using one light highlights certain areas of the image which directs your attention to the the small details within the image.


Andrea Bricco

Andrea Bricco is a food, lifesyle and travel photographer who lives in los angeles, she has been photographing for many well know restaurants in southern california such as  Spago, CUT, Bestia, Tar & Roses, Rustic Canyon, Alma and Din Tai Fung.

Andrea's work looks alot more natural and organic compared to both Henrik Bonnevier and Edward Westons work as the colours she uses are mainly white and soft delicate colours with most people would associate with purity and natural things, the picture of the food it's self in the background is hand drawn which adds to the effect of the food looking very natural and organic, also the use of a white back ground makes the plate stand out the most in the picture showing the audience it is the main subject/feature in the picture, the picture is taken from a birds eye view as the work was most likely done for a menu or recipe therefore the whole image would need to be seen.
