Comparison between Naomi White’s work and my own

The prominent similarities between my work and the work of Naomi White and my work is the use of plastic in order to create art. Furthermore, the colours in both photographs are vibrant and the tones are very contrasting within both images. Finally, there is a strong sense of contrasting shadows and highlights due to the use of studio lighting.

On the other hand, there is also visible differences between the image created by White and my own work. For example, White only uses one colour in her photos, which creates a jarring contrast against the white background. However, because I used coloured acetate over the studio lights, multiple tones and colours are projected onto the plastic. Furthermore, my image lacks the blinding, white background that White uses in order to create an intense juxtaposition between the coloured plastic.

Overall, I believe my recreation of Naomi White’s work was successful because they carry similar ideas and messages, however I altered specific aspects of Naomi White’s work in order to make my images more unique and prove that White’s work is an ideal influence in terms of Anthropocene.
