@http://www.andreaklarin.com/ The images on her website that spoke to me the most were the first of the editorials. I really like the way she links all the images of one shot together not only by the model but in the background she choses. In addition to each individual shot, all of her images have a similar feeling of whimsy and each of the models although different have a similar look in terms of make up.

 * //Nigel Barker://**

Overall, Nigel's portfolio contains women with dramatic poses or backgrounds. I think this helps to accentuate the women's body and the clothing even more. I like the top left picture especially because although the image is dramatic it also has a sense of simplicity. I get the same kind of felling from the bottom right picture as well.

What I like the most about his work is how its so different from most fashion photographers out there. He has a variety of images but they all give off a similar feeling. My favorite one is the bottom one of the girl in the dress. It feels very dramatic to me and reminds me of Marilyn Monroe. They all contain a lot of shadow and give the image a lot of depth.

All of these images have an intense feeling. Their hair and make up is all dramatic and matches the clothes they're wearing too. I really like the picture on the bottom left of his images because the background is so simple and the model really stands out. I also like the top right picture because although the modle kind of blends in the the background it make you be more aware of the image and try to concentrate more on the whole thing. However, overall its hard to pinpoint exactly what his style is if you were to look at a piece on its own i would be difficult so say "oh yeah this is definitely Miesel.

 * Herb Ritts **





Most of the photos that Herb Ritts takes are in black in white but with a simplistic feeling. I like the way he shoots because it has different types of shoots throughout his work. Some of the images are taken of famous singers or actors exhibiting either their true personalities (Michael Jackson above). In addition to shooting actors, he also takes a lot of pictures of people and their natural body; no clothes or anything affecting them. I like the way he takes his images with class as well as the contrast you see within the pictures.


 * Richard Avedon **



The way that Richard Avedon shoots gives of a more authentic or vintage feeling of black in white. Although his intent seems similar to Herb Ritts's, you can tell that these two photographers shoot differently. Avedon's images seem to have a tad less contrast but still sontains shadows and had a softer feeling.
