The final photographer I have researched is Javier
Vallhonrat (1953 - ). Vallhonrat studied painting but became widely recognised
after shooting for Conde Nast
publications. Vallhonrat’s background in
painting is apparent in his photography, with an incredible use of lighting and
colours that together create photos that sometimes could be mistaken for
paintings. His photos contain a three-dimensional texture that is usually built
up in paintings by layering. As well
shooting for magazines such as Vogue and Flair, he also teaches creative
photography to University students.
The three images above are incredibly similar in that the
models are all posed in a sensual way with one knee up and their heads tilted
back. The images evoke sensuality but the softness in the colours and lighting
prevents them from being overdone.
From analysing his work, I can see that colours do not need
to be bright and lighting does not need to be overexposed to create a bold and
eye-catching image.
