While starting to develop the wireframes and content of the photonovel we had a research to find 3 photographers to explore who have interesting practices. I focused myself on 3 who has interesting that can make my disadvantages play into my favor.
My issue is that I feel like I've a limit in terms of environment since my story plays in the Middle East and in the past. So I can't capture any cars outdoors and I need to avoid capturing too much details in my house that will show that I'm clearly not in that age. So I found some photographers with some quite interesting practice and which may also add a better atmosphere to the whole play.
These shots are from a photographer called Nicholas Gooddens from London and these images are from the section of his blog where he talk about the use of Negative Space.
There's a fair consideration of textured white space which make it more interesting and I believe I can easily achieve certain shots on a textured table or a plain white wall with the texture of the concrete of course.
I couldn't find much information about this photographer but his name is basically. He have a few attempts in Abstract photography which I think is quite interesting the way it look. Sometimes using motion and other time using shapes which from other articles I read only is a good way to obtain an Abstract piece. His Abstract works looks almost from another dimension and that's the reason why he's here on this post because I was a series of photography that looks from another world for an extract where the Mad Arab from the story is exploring the worlds from the Necronomicon, which was meant to be an unexplainable experience from the original story.
For my last photographer, I chose to go with Platon. I came across him unexpectedly by just watching the Netflix show 'Abstract'. The way he explains his photography is a lot more interesting than what they look. He uses a macro lense which show lots of details on all the person he photographed and he stand extremely close to them which often create a unique reaction on his subjects. In this case it's even more interesting because his subjects are world leaders, So from his photographs the world get to see another face of their leaders which is very interesting. The other interesting thing is how he shots, he will either be below the people or above them depending on their status to show power, compassion or any other form of emotions. But he uses the perspective to add this aspect to his images. Also by being extremely close to his subjects it makes the piece a lot more emotional and I thought I could use that to express a few emotions from my characters. some very close up shots with the appropriate perspective to create the right emotion.
There will definitely be a few more photographers whom I might take reference from. Definitely Anthony Goicolea from my previous study on him for my Things project which eventually turned out to be a photographic piece. Especially because he disguises himself and duplicate himself in his works. There will be a few other whom I found on Pinterest and so on.
