Bill Brandt

Bill Brandt who is a famous photographer i have found that is famous for taking nude distorted pictures. i really like his images because they show a different way of photographing the nude female body form. The reason i chose to research is because i want to photograph the female form and then distort it on photoshop to show how we never see the truth in the media in terms of what people really look like.
   I particularly like his work because he distorts the body by just using his camera and a wide angle lens which is something i would like to experiment with. Mostly i like that his work is in black and white as alot of previous photographers i have looked at are colour and i prefer black and white photography.

I particularly like the use of the harsh and dark shadows as it further enhances the distortion of the images. From these photographs i want to use and experiment with distortion as a way of challenging the hegemonic norms of the female body and show how easy it is to distort a body.
