Bill Brandt

I chose Bill Brandt as an artist that relates to my mirror/window assignment because his ideas for 2 of his series relate closely to mine. Brandt is widely known for his high contrast images of nude bodies and landscapes. I like that each image makes you look closer at it and really think about what it is; which is what I'm trying to accomplish with my mirror/window assignment.

This image of the Grand Canal in England reminded me of one the images I created and I loved how similar they were.




The above 2 images are both photographs of nudes abstracted in a way that makes you glance back multiple times. If I had photographed the hands above, I would have cropped closer in to maybe give the viewer more possibilities of what it  could be. As for the bottom image, I think Brandt really captured the body in a beautiful way and I wouldn't change the composition or anything else about it.
