Lois Greenfield

A photographer I found when looking at body shapes was Lois Greenfield. Now she focusses on dance and structure but she does look at body structures and form which I think can connect to my theme of loneliness. I wanted to look at body structures because I think beauty and body can reflect loneliness by parts of the body and i'm quite fascinated by it.

Lois bodyscape work is studio work usually against a white or black background sometimes grey and focusses on different shapes of bodies so backs, hips, legs. I would like to extend this into using the school studio to get professional lighting so they can cause shadows and highlight certain affects of the body to represent my theme.

She can work within black and white usually to create a affect, these photos definately stand out more and seem more bold and harsh where as the colour images have colours such as white, baby pinks, beige - more nude colours and seem more natural and less harsh.

 

I have chosen this photo of Lois Greenfields as I think this photo resembles loneliness in a completely different light, instead this photo shows love and affection. The colours are very suttle and studio lighting has been used but not so it causes big shadows and it contrasts and focuses on a certain affect and this is because this photo isn't focussing on ONE point its showing two people and showing the love so it's a suttle/natural picture.

 

I would definately like to look into studio lighting and taking this more professional with better lighting and go against loneliness but try a shoot with two people showing friendship or love - some sort of communication.
