more photographers...

I need some inspiration for my photographs, as i havent started taking any yet, so i have been researching photographers that are dealing with similar topics to the one i plan to do my third year assignment on.

Heres a few photographers that i have been looking at:

1. Leonard Nimoy-Yes, he may have been in startreck, but he also did a series called 'the full body project'

quote from his website:
"This current body of work is a departure for me. For a number of years, I have been producing images using the female figure. I have worked with numerous models who were professional people earning their living by posing, acting, dancing, or any combination thereof. But, as has been pointed out to me in discussions at exhibitions of my work, the people in these pictures always fell under the umbrella of a certain body type. I’ll call it a "classic" look. Always within range of the current social consensus of what is "beautiful." In fact, that was the adjective I most often heard when my work was exhibited. The women as they appeared in my images were allotted no individual identity. They were hired and directed to help me express an idea—sometimes about sexuality, sometimes about spirituality—and usually about feminine power. But the pictures were not about them. They were illustrating a theme, a story I hoped to convey"




similarly to Jenny Saville, he photographs larger women and goes against the norms of how society should look, going against how the media tells us to look which i really like.
   The thing i like the best about his pictures is although to the media they are not seen as what the body should look like- the pictures are still beautiful- i hope to respond to these pictures in some way, even if using the same idea of not conforming to the medias opinions-they are too involved in how we should look anyway!
