William kelin

William Klein was born in American but a French photographer and filmmaker was less well known for his ironic approach to both mediums, his extensive use of unusual photographic techniques in the context of photojournalism  and fashion photography ranked 25th on Professional Photographer‘s list of 100 most influential photographers.h has many awards and exhibitions surrounding his work, soon after being a painter he started off within his photography journey soon achieving  widespread fame as a fashion photographer  for vogue and for his photo essay  on various cities.

Because of this he was able to make many feature length films, and numerous of short and feature length documentaries advertising his work and allowing the public to see and be influenced by what he has achieved. Again he started off within photojournalism and street photography in new York much like many other famous photographers,His work was soon viewed to be considered revolutionary for its “ambivalent and ironic approach to the world of fashion”, its “uncompromising rejection of the then prevailing rules of photography”and for his extensive use of wide angles  and telephoto lenses, natural lighting and motion blur.

He was said by the New York times to had been considered one among the fathers of the streets and a mixture of compliments that classifies a man who is hardly classy,Or Perhaps this represents him in quite a figurative manner but it still successful shows how people within New York needed his influence and guidance in order to make  an important  for society and that he was able to capture both the humor and the reality within New York at the time.  the world of fashion would become the subject and inspiration for many of His works ad inspire inspirations of clothing evolution and a new meaning of beauty and womanly presentation. Lastly his street would would print a more violent and also exploit different religions and groups within America ta the time which was important to allow news programs to see his work.

what I like about his works that people were shown in such a ironic and unexpected light, people would be holding a gun with a face that implies that they are joking, or people in uncomfortable scenarios being laid-back and smiling while enraptured in a city more dull than themselves. he was able to capture the people within the city who would otherwise be ignored.

This is my favorite piece of his won work because it allows again a sense of youth and joy with is contradictory compared to that of the elderly people surrounding herself.It shows a women having a. sense of freedom and not wearing much clothing but she is not exploited for her sexuality but shown for reasons of her spirit and how this is what keeps cities alive. Again something more solemn is occurring in the background but the is ignored but to the irony of her celebration.

His work overall is very different to That of the previous artists as it portrays a more light hearted representation  on suffering and troubles within the world and surrounding New York city, his photographers are perhaps less natural but sill capture a well enraptured essence of the people and their lives.

Diane Arbus

Was an American photographer  well known for photographs of marginalized people such as dwarfs,giants,transgender people,nudists and finally circus from former. She again did this in order to represent the minority and portray a sense of  normality by ways in which they look and not general populace who would consider them as  ugly or surreal.Her work has been described as consisting of formal manipulation characterized by blatant sensationalism, this means that her work has most of the interests surrounding the subject of the charter and is taken in a formal manner, this allows a direct eye line and conceptual though go the person and their story and not allowing others to be influenced by herself.

sadly Arbus committed suicide and so presented a fictional version of her life story,within her last areas of photography .This was possibly due to her affair to a married a man who was never going to marry herself and only pushed her harder frequently throughout her work. She was married to another Jewish man such as herself Arbus was insulated from the effects of the great depression while growing up in the 1930s . Her father became a painter after retiring from Russek’s; her younger sister would become a sculptor and designer;so the majority of her family become intrigued in everything surrounding the creative arts and influence.

Diane started her own photography   business and  would come up with the concepts for their shoots and then take care of the models. She grew dissatisfied within this role, a role even her husband thought was “demeaning.”They contributed to  glamour,seventeen,vogue,Harper bazaar, and other magazines even though “they both hated the fashion world”. Despite over 200 pages of their fashion editorial in Glamour, and over 80 pages in Vogue, the Arbuses’ fashion photography has been described as of “middling quality’ due to her gradually  hate and enforcement of photography  she become even less inclined to choose to take a shoot and no longer wanted to develop her work and she grew older and more depressed.

what I like about her work: I like how formally and clearly she captures people. there is no doubt what they are feeling but only why,it allows question which you can answer yourself by looking further into the image itself,and also due to all the interesting people,it allows a more intriguing view of the society in which she was in. Her images also allow an interesting composition to enhance the interesting subject to which she is capturing.

This is my favorite from this artist,this is due to interesting subject of a transgender man which again shows her representing the majority in order to allow a sense of normality to the society in which they are in.The makeup again furthers the image of femininity but that is contradicted within the darker tonal background suggesting more harsh underlining themes.You can also see how they are smoking,which bring a somewhat relevance to the time and possibly creates a sense of relation to the public and they all act the same but have different appearances.

Compared to the previous artist,She is a lot more formal within only concentrating on the face itself and not a lot of movement,this allows a  straight forward proposition of her these also allow a sense  of irony to show a more extravagant type of people within the society.
