A Summery of Perou

STYLE; Perou doesn't have a specific style of photography, he uses dark sexy or light plain portraits that focus on the model or celebrity he uses in the shot. He uses dark backgrounds or plain empty scenes in his pictures to bring out any focal point he has in the picture. Also, he dosen't just take pictures from the frount, he takes shots from all different angles, either high, low or to the side.

TECHNIQUE; The way Perou takes photo's is mostly portrait angles, this gets what he wants in the picture, makes the object or person in the picture easy to see and gets all the background he wants in too. He uses many powerful colours and all sorts of lighting to bring out the colours and images in his photos. Also, if he's taking a picture of a certain celebrity, he uses colours, lighting, props and background to suit what their like and what type of style their like.

NARRATIVE; In Perou's photo's he is very good at bringing out the focal point of his photo by using simple backgrounds, lighting and colours. He also gives your eyes an adventure, you look at the focal point and then look around at the detail of the background. Also, in most of his pictures he makes the models look directly into the photo which is a very effective, it gives the picture power and draws your eyes to the models eyes.

CONTEXT; Perou takes many different pictures but his main focus is on model or celebrity portraits.

Perou Mix - ASSIGNMENT 4 Independent Research

Factual - All these photo's are taken by the British photographer Perou.
The Perou mix i made shows the many different types of photo's he takes including fashion, music artists, portraits and photo's from his 'dirtysexythings' album.
Context - These photo's contain pictures of Marliyn Manson, Lilly allen and a few models from his 'dirtysexythings' album and other albums.
Technical - I like how perou gives each ablum of pictures their own thing. Such as for the 'dirtysexythings' album he uses powerful and dark colours. For music artists he focus's the photo on them and nothing else and for Fashion he uses plain backgrounds and put's models in different poses so you focus on the model and what their wearing.
Aesthetic - Fashion Pictures; I like how Perou has used plain backgrounds and close shots for his model pictures so you get a good look of the model and that's all your focused on.
Music Pictures; These pictures are pretty much the same as the fashion pictures. I like how Perou has used a good not too bright, not too dark set of lighting for his music artists so that your not sturggling to see them. But some of the music artists pictures are with a background that goes with their music, Such as Marliyn Manson's picture. He has got a dark and powerful picture and a dark background that represents his Dark gothic music. Whereas Lilly allen has a plain background and a picture that is only focused on her.
'dirtysexythings' Pictures; I think Perou does his best photography for this album, He uses dark and powerful colours on the models he uses, and dresses them in very little clothing, or no clothing at all, to give his picture that 'sexy edge' to it. He also uses a range of backgrounds, for clifts, rocks, beaches, underwater and many more with a series of different lighting. I would like to know how Perou gets this 'edge' to his pictures and learn how to do it myself.

DEPTH OF FIELD

Google Images - Annie Leibovitz I have choosen a picture taken by a Photographer called Annie Leibovitz's from her album for my Depth of field photo. Annie Leibovitz is an american photographer who was born in 1949, She learnt her photography skills from San Francisco Art institute and began her career taking pictures for the Rolling Stones magazine and has more recently done a Walt Disney campaign for Disneyland. I think her picture's really stand out from other photo's because how perfectly she has done them to give them a magical feel. As you can see this picture uses alot of light in the background where the castle is and gets darker towards to woman running. I think this photo represents the children's story 'Cinderella' as the woman has left one of her shoes behind and has light shining down on it. This picture's depth of field is very large comming from the focal point of the photo, the woman in the big blue dress, to the huge shinning castle at the background.

LIGHTING

Vee Spears - Google Images
Finally, a picture not from Perou. This a photo by an Australian photographer called Vee Speers, who is now currently living it Paris. This is  from Vee's album 'The Birthday Party' and this little boy is from a series of photo's from her album of children in old fashion in different poses. I think this photo really shows bright lighting as the boys skin is almost as pale as the white background, which really makes the hair from his helmet  and any shadowing stand out. The lighting also, off his helmet, reflects a very bright light off the top off his head, or that could just be his skin colour. I really like this photo because of the helmet is normally used as a piece of amour for the big and strong, but she's put it on a small skinny little boy, it's maybe showing he's strong on the inside or will grow up a hero.
