Photographer three - Andy Grimshaw

I have chosen this photographer due to his unique style of composition and interesting photographs. With other food photographers it gets a little bit repetitive however with this photographer his work stands out due to the different background and choice of colours. I would like to use the composition of the photographs in order to influence my own work.

I really like this photograph because it really entices the audience because the strawberries appear as if they are sinking into a cream background. I also like how perfect the strawberries are with no flaws or defects. They are also laid out in an attractive way making a generally attractive photograph.

I early love this photograph and would like to try this out my self. What makes this photograph unique is the exact layout of each can which makes the photo seem as if everything is exactly the same except the contents of the can. It is also good because it has the bright red colour of the tin agains a plain white background. I also like the use of very faint reflection of the cans.

I love this photograph due to the completely plain background making the cabbage the only thing in the photograph. It also appears as if its floating as opposed to regular photos which would have the item laying down. I think the plain black background allows the audiences attention to be entirely drawn to the details of the cabbage.

What I think makes this an interesting photograph is the use of the background that is a zoomed in photograph of the main focal point. You would expect that having a green bottle on a green background would make it blend in however the use of the lighting coming of of the bottle this is not an issue and the outline of the bottle is obvious.

Influence - I will take influence from the black backgrounds used in this photographers work as I feel it makes his work stand out and makes it really different to the work of other photographers. 

This photograph shows how I have taken influence from the bottom photo from this photographer as I have chosen to use a feature from the object of the photo and zoomed in to create a background for the photograph. In the photographers work he has zoomed right into the label of the bottle whereas in my work I zoomed into a Malteaser and repeated the image creating a background for the packet. 

Summary - Over all I like this photographers work as it is very unique and eye-catching. I also like his use of commercial items such as the tins and bottle as these make very interesting attractive photographs.
