Portrait+assignment

=Portrait Assignment= Provide at least two examples of their work and explain unique aspects of their technique in capturing images of people. What are some typical elements of their work?

=Leonard Nimoy= Aside from being a renowned actor, Nimoy has done work in professional photography for years. He does lots of work in black and white and creates incredible lighting with sheets and minimal backgrounds. He mainly does nudes, particularly of women. He also has galleries of hands and simple objects like eggs. Simplicity is a key element to his style, as well as a very serene feeling to many shots.



=Nigel Barker, Noted Fashion Photographer= A former model, Nigel's career transitioned into photographer over time. He is a judge on TV show America's Next Top Model, where he is consistently referred to with the attachment to his name, whether his work is noteworthy is questionable. He does nice things with flattering lighting and basic backgrounds but much of the appeal of his photos may come from the stylists and models themselves. That said, much of his job involves wrangling beautiful and generally rather dense models which teaches us all about working with difficult subjects. The moods created in these two examples are each clearly defined and very interesting.
