Photographers report

Annie Leibovitz, b. October 2, 1949, is an American contemporary portrait photographer. She is most famous for shooting the covers of magazines such as Vogue, Vanity Fair and Rolling Stone.

Leibovitz shot the April cover of Vogue featuring Kim Kardashian and Kanye West on the cover.

The colour theme within this photo is very natural, and there is nothing too bright, but at the same time it is very eye catching with the colours that are used. With this natural colour palette it almost looks washed out, and looks like a filter has been applied.

The way that Kanye is stood behind Kim with his arms around her, implies that she is the center of his world and he has eyes for no one but her. And Kim is looking straight down the camera, but the way she has her hands resting on top of Kanye’s showing off her engagement ring, it shows everything off in a demure and elegant way.

Terry Richardson, b. August 14 1965, is an American contemporary fashion and portrait photographer who has done advertising campaigns for Marc Jacobs, Aldo, Tom Ford and Yves Saint Laurent. He has also photographed for magazine such as Rolling Stone, GQ, Vogue and Harper’s Bazaar.

This photo of Daniel Radcliffe taken by Terry Richardson, makes him look like a deer in the headlights. The colour scheme in the photo is very washed out, the white background the pale shirt and the whiteness of Daniel Radcliffes skin, makes it look like he is a ghost, also, the colour of Daniel’s shirt has been matched up to match his eyes, which I think are the main focus of the photo as his eyes are wide and he is looking straight down the camera.

Irving Penn, b. June 16, 1917 – d. October 7, 2009, was an American photographer best known for his fashion photography, portraits and still lifes. In his career he did some work for Vogue, and advertising work for Issey Miyake and Clinique.

This photo of John F. Kennedy taken by Irving Penn. Most of the photos that Irving Penn took were in black and white. Because JFK was an important figure in history the way the photo is shot creates this effect. The way the light is hitting him on the side of the face.

Photography Evaluation - Harry Potter

This image that was taken at the Harry Potter Studio Tour in London reminds me of the Grand Bazaar in Istanbul, because of the vibrant colours, and the packaging on the products. I think that the sharpest and clearest point of this image is the second and fourth shelf, as I think it s the brightest parts due to the vibrant colours. I think that the other parts are less vibrant as they are a bit darker and not as well lit; this then creates a shadow effect.

The light in this photograph was artificial as taken in a room; there was light within the cabinet creating a shadow effect on the top shelf of the display. The time of day cannot be estimated as this image was taken indoors as you cannot see any sunlight within this image. Also when I took this photo, the flash was fired this due to the fact that the lighting was not substantial enough.

The main lines are horizontal and vertical, as you can see the lines of the shelves and the lines of the cabinet. The vertical lines give the sense of direction showing the height and the horizontal lines give a sense of depth as it is showing the objects on the shelf.

The shapes that are repeated throughout are oblongs, rectangles and squares, which are more or less the same things; this gives the sense of continuity.

The tone of this image is very warm, with all the neon, vibrant colours, and I think that the colours are the most significant part of the image and I think that is was makes it eye catching.

If there was a Rule of Thirds grid on this image it would there would be something significant in every square of the grid.

I took this image with a Canon 450D and a 18-55mm lens. When I took this I had the camera on auto setting and the ISO was set at 400, the aperture was at f/4, and the shutter speed was 1/60. As the lighting wasn’t very substantial and it was behind a cabinet and needed to make sure I didn’t get any glare on the glass, even though the flash did fire, it surprisingly didn’t create a glare on the glass.

When I look at this image it makes me thing about all the effort that went it making the props for the Harry Potter films that probably didn’t even get shown on screen.

This is another mage that was taken at the Harry Potter Studio Tour in London and it reminds be of all the old newspapers that you see in vintage films and TV shows. The sharpest and most clear point of the image is the black writing against the white washed out background makes it look all the more vibrant and sharp and everything else around it is, I think, less important.

The light in this photograph was artificial as it was taken it a room and was behind a cabinet. The time of day cannot be estimated as this image was taken indoors as you cannot see any sunlight within this image. Also when I took this photo, the flash was fired this due to the fact that the lighting was not substantial enough.

The main lines are horizontal and vertical, as you can see the lines of the newspapers. The vertical lines give the sense of direction showing the height and the horizontal lines give a sense of depth as it is showing the newspapers in the stack.

The shapes that are repeated throughout are rectangles, and this gives the sense of continuity.

The tone of this image is very cold and what it says on the front of the newspaper also gives the feeling of this too.

If there were a Rule of Thirds grid on this image the main focus of the image which is the headline of the newspaper and this would be in the middle row of the grid.

I took this image with a Canon 450D and a 18-55mm lens. When I took this I had the camera on auto setting and the ISO was set at 400, the aperture was at f/5, and the shutter speed was 1/60. As the lighting wasn’t very substantial and it was behind a cabinet and needed to make sure I didn’t get any glare on the glass, even though the flash did fire, and it didn’t create a glare on the glass.

This is also another image that was taken at the Harry Potter Studio Tour in London. And it reminds me of when I watched and read Harry Potter for the very first time, and I think that it is very significant to the films, for when Harry first gets his letter.

The sharpest and clearest point of the image is the writing on the first letter at the top corner of the image. Even though it does look a bit over exposed with the writing after I had edited it, I still think that it stands out.

The light in this photograph is all artificial and the light was created from the ones that had been placed in the cabinets on the display.

The time of day cannot be estimated as this image was taken indoors as you cannot see any sunlight within this image. Also when I took this photo, the flash was fired this due to the fact that the lighting was not substantial enough.

The mains lines in this photograph come from the letters themselves.

The shapes that are repeated throughout are rectangles, and this gives the sense of continuity.

The tone of this image is very cold and what it says on the front of the letter, it seems cold because there isn’t much colour, as it looks black and white.

If there were a Rule of Thirds grid on this image the main focus of the image, which are the letters, would be in every square of the grid.
