Mary Ellen Mark



 I like her work because her work is in black and white and not all of her images are perfect like the one of Johnny Depp. She also catches emotion in her photos.

She's photographed many famous actors like Johnny Depp, Meryl Streep and Robert Downey junior.

I like how she always make sure she has the image she wants before she takes a picture. One of the cameras she has proves a challenge to her is that there is no post production. Thats why everything has to be perfect when the shutter releases.

She also likes to take photographs in New York city, the energy and variety inspiring her and her work. She has always photographed New York, even before she lived there.

most of her work is basically concentrating on the person being photographed.
The backgrounds are simple , nothing to eye catching to draw you attention away from
the main focus.

even her portrait pictures in the studio are low light, the small amount of light being
reflected on to the person in the centre.

    As with all research you must clearly identify what it is of value that you have seen within their work that you can add into your own photography.
    Also can you make sure that you look primarily at studio and portrait photographers and add 6 photos of their work onto your blog, read the assignment a paper to make sure that you are doing everything that's required.

  2. Hi
    Also I have noticed that you are not following anybody else's blogs, if you ask to see their blog , add the web address into the Internet, then when you can see it look at the top right hand side and click on follow and it will link into your site.
