inspiration

I checked out Danielle Tunstall’s work…woah. I liked how looking through her work there were alot of recurring themes and visual elements that gave her work a very cohesive feel, her style becomes very recognizable. I would imagine that is very important for a professional photographer…any artist of that matter strives, I think, to develop his/her personal artistic style so they may become identifiable in the art world. I also enjoyed her use of special effects (particularly demonstrated in the video on her website) to add to the gritty and age-worn feel of her work. What I was most attracted to in her body of work was her black and white portrait (perhaps because we are working in B & W and I am always drawn to faces). I liked the way she was able to capture such contrast in her B & W portraits…in the close-up portrait of the young boy, you can see and imagine the feel of each freckle that marks his face. There is also a gritty aspect to her B & W work. How is that achieved and controlled? I would love to try and capture the grit of life in my B & W work (particularly portraits).
