Response






This is my response to Tyler Shields work from his series 'chromatic'. I wanted to really get up close and personal to my model and capture every detail that you can see. I used the bright powder paint like Tyler Shields did to make it bright and colourful. I also used a spotlight to create the crispness of the photo and to make it stand out.
I think the strongest image out of these three finals is the eye photo. The eye makes it more of a personal photo and it makes it makes the image have a story to it. When you look into that eye it makes you feel like you have a connection with the person. I think the quality of it is also very good as I used a 75mm lens which made the focus extremely good and so the quality is a lot better than if I were to have used a different camera. Overall, I think this shoot is extremely successful and the photos come across as strong and powerful.

Tyler Shields


Tyler Shields is a young and up coming American photographer who's work I really admire. Not only is he a photographer but he is a filmmaker and a writer also. He did a series called 'chromatic' which is made up of the type of photos above. The colours show boldness and passion and the quality of the close up photos is very good and makes the photos more real. 
I think his work is extremely strong and you can see the personalities of the people through the photographs. The lighting he uses brings out the colours and I really like the fact that there is brightness within these photos as it shows chaos and peace at the same time. His photos are ones that I do truly admire.
