Steven Klein, Robert Doisneau & Henri Cartier Bresson


Steven Klein
I really like the face on this photo because it looks like a monster that should live in the sea, it actually reminded me of something you would see in Scooby Doo. I liked how intricate the design on the face was and then while the outfit is still detailed when it is placed so close to the face it looks simplified. I also liked how the background was so simple compared to the model, as it is just a grey-purple colour. I also liked how the face stood out because it is made up mostly of blue, gold and then obviously the bright red eyes while the rest of the image is made up of cool purple tones, so i think that even if the make up wasnt so stand outish and bright and detailed, it would still stand out more than everythigng else.


Robert Doisneau
I liked this image because it is completely controvesial to what people normally think of when they think of the Eiffel Tower and Paris, because people normally think of Paris as being a highly cultural place but this photo is showing something completely different from that, to me it is showing fun and relaxation, with the boys jumping into the water and then the other people sat around it. I also like how a boy jumping into the water has been captured rather than them just sat above the water, as it kind of shows the activity in action. I also liked how the background, to me, looks like block colours, with the water being a dark grey. the stairs and sky being lighter and then the eiffel tower is almost black, i like this because it doesnt take the attention away from the people in the foreground.


Henri Cartier Bresson
I liked this image because the stairs reminded me of something like aztec patterns, but it is obviously not in an aztec country, so it shows a bit of contrast and mixture between two cultures. I also like how different the stairs are to normal stairs that everyone sees everyday that are just straight up straight down, as these have lots of bends and curves in them.
