Research

Duane Michals

He is a largely self-taught person, also his work is noted for its innovation and artistry. For several yeas he work in commercial photography, during this he covered the  filming of 'The Great Gatsby for Vogue. He is well known for not having a studio and just going out and taking portraits of people and their own environments this was a contrast to the method of other photographers at the same time, such as Avedon and Irving Penn.
When taking his images he also varies whether he wants them in black and white or colour. He makes
deeply personal to him not in the way the alienates the viewer.


In this image i can see two people which one is getting undressed step by step. The main focus being the two people that have been captured in the image. This image is also in black and white like most of his other images. These images are also based on a series of movement.

There is no graphological layout in these images. This is probably because the main focus is on the boy that is getting undressed.

In comparison to my images the subject is similar due to both being about people. However my images are all in colour not black and white. Both mine and his images are a serious of images both including people.
