Project 10 Pre-work Fine Art vs Commercial Portraits

Commercial:                                                       Fine Art:

Alia Shawkat - Natalia Mantini

The lighting is very warm and she is in a relaxed position which
gives of the vibe of leisure and being carefree.

Alia Shawkat - JUCO



In the commercial one, she's looking straight on,
and you can see her freckles really well which
catches your attention, she's also
wearing a button up shirt which is seen
as masculine which plays off of her
gender neutrality vibe in order to sell that style of
clothes. 

Project 10 - pre work(commercial portraits)

Commercial Portraits:
A Picture taken of somebody in order to sell or promote an idea or product.

Giampaolo Sgura for Vogue Brasil 

JUCO for Vogue Taiwan

Both of these artists are trying to sell clothes because they are working for a fashion company. They both seem to be selling a retro aesthetic. Brasil's seems to be more grunge, and Taiwan's seems to be more classy. The models are both beautiful and appear confident, which will make Vogue's consumers want to buy the clothes that they're wearing. 

Project 10- Pre work(Fine Art Portraits)

Fine Art Portraits:
A picture of a person with the intention to convey a feeling, mood, or story.

Gemmy Woud-Binnendijk
I like the expressions on their faces and the fact that this
photo is supposed to emulate an old painting that
you might find in a museum.

"Unity" by Paulina Duczman

I think this portrait portrays the ambience of being a child. She seems carefree, relaxed, and peaceful, given the fact that she's fallen asleep on a ladder. As well as the fact that being asleep is a very vulnerable state to be in. 

Project 9 - Surrealism

I created this picture by taking a picture of my cats eyes in the sunlight so the color really popped, and added saturation and then pasted them on a picture of my friend, this is surrealism because Bella doesn't actually have cat eyes that I know of.

I created this picture by taking a close up of a fish tank and then a picture of my little cousin and put her in the fish tank, this is surrealism because you don't usually find small children in small homes of aquatic animals.

Project 9 Pre-Work

Surrealism - An artistic style whose purpose is to release the creative potential of the subconscious mind

"The Love Embrace of the Universe, the Earth (Mexico), Myself, Diego, and Señor Xolotl" - Frida Kahlo

"Girl Before A Mirror" - Pablo Picasso 

Huseyin Sahin uses nature, landscapes, and buildings in a way that couldn't be possible in real life. Such as an ocean, clock tower, or old building in the middle of a cliff. As well as the ocean water floating away from the cliff when there's nothing supporting it.

Phoebe Rudomino shows surrealism by depicting a woman in a room in an otherwise normal room, save for the fact that it's filled with water that the woman is submerged in.
