Case Study

Silva Grav

Silva Grav was born in Spain 1993. she leant how to draw ‘before she could talk’ then later realised this is was she wanted to do. She then started to study fine arts.Silva Grav has done many different mages using experimental photography. Most of the images that I searched relating this photographer were their manipulation images. This is because I think that the way that they have done their images is very unique. They stand out amongst others and they make you think exactly how it has been made. You can see the from images I got offline that they are all similar but different, because they are all very strange which fit perfectly within the manipulation style but the colours are the same. That all have the same sepia/black and white colour to them.This is fine art styled photography as it is an expression of how the photographer is feeling and what they are imagining, they haven't been asked to do something in particular and are not set to a brief.This style of photography is non-traditional as they use very modern techniques such as Photoshop, which you can see from the images that none of the images are taken and are real.You would see these images used on blogging sites such as tumblr. You may also see these images used within an advert in a magazine or billboard.

Bela Borsodi

Bela Borsodi was born In Vienna in 1966. then went onto studying graphic design and fine art and studied to work as a photographer. He them moved to new york in 1992 then started to focus more on still life photography in 1999 which is still his main direction of work.Bela Borsodi has some very unique images, that stand out very loud against all the other images you would see. This is because they are very bold in colour and they are very different to what you have seen before. You can see from the images I got offline her images are very fashion related and very feminine as there is a lot of handbags and shoes and females involved within the images.He uses both fine art and commercial styles within his work because some of his photography is art and his imaginations and purely pieces of art work. Then others are created to advertise as he works with some advertisers so he will be given a brief to stick by.His work fits in with the contemporary style because he uses both traditional and non-traditional techniques. You could see these images used in advertising to advertise fashion you may see them on the side of shops or on the side of bus shelters they could be used for fashion advert used because they stand out and catch peoples attention.

Melinda GibsonMelinda Gibson was boring in the UK in 1985 and is currently living in London. She studies photography at the London college and is now a HPL lecturer in photography at Nottingham Trent university. She published a book called the photograph as contemporary art and it was chosen as one of the best books of 2012 by photo-eye. Melinda Gibson photography is very strange in the way that the images almost don’t make any sense. If you look at them the images you are seeing are not in the correct colours and textures as they should be. This makes them very interesting to look at because you are intrigued to look further into the image and you then start to think about that the photographer may have been thinking about while taking the images.This style of images are fine art as they are made purely for art and not a purpose. They are not used to advertise or made to fit within a brief they are an expression of someone's mind. These images also use the non-traditional style and this is where the photographer used more modern techniques and digital production.These images would mostly be seen within a gallery, where people would come to see these amazing images. The reason they wouldn’t be on much else is because they are images that are made to be looked at closely and though about. They could be placed within a book for people to look at but not as likely as an art gallery.
