Steven Klein

Steven Klein (born April 30, 1965, Rhode Island) is an American photographer based in New York.After studying painting at the Rhode Island School of Design,


Steven Klein work something that you don't see in everyday life,I think his work is very unique and different to any other photographer,he has a fresh outlook on the photographer,I like this picture. I particularly I liked how photographer set this,it has a very dark vibe to his photos which gives him more than one focal point,with his contrast between dark morbid tones with a pop of sheen to create eerie atmosphere. I think the story behind this picture about is showing a beautiful way of death,I get this impression just by the flowers coming of her mouth to look like blood,And the man's hand her breast,to show he might of been the one how done it to her or he could be trying to cover her and give her dignity.

As I was saying he has this very dark morbid feel which I really like and I would most definitely would like to incorporate into my work I really like how he has used harsh lighting as-well its showing the ugly truth of death and murder,And I'm going to study Forensic Investigations or Forensic Photography and this sort of dark morbid photography really interesting to me,I love the harsh lighting and dramatic lighting also this mysterious look to the photos as-well.


Just like his other picture,There is something about his work that is eye catching and unique and like I said before I would definitely like to used this style in my portfolio,I already have a-few ideas,with what style I would like to use in my portfolio.


Bruce Weber ,Calvin Klein

born March 29, 1946, is an American fashion photographer and occasional film-maker.He is most widely known for his ad campaigns for Calvin KleinRalph Lauren, PirelliAbercrombie & FitchRevlon, and Gianni Versace, as well as his work for VogueElleLifeInterview, and Rolling Stone magazines. 


What I liked most about Bruce Weber is that fact how everything has to look perfect,not a hair out of place perfect man and women these people with gorgeous faces and amazing body's,And I love black and white photography,It always reminds me of the 40s/50s and the photo to the right is a photo from his work with Calvin Klein and What I have to say I like about this photo is how Bruce Weber has shown all different levels and what I mean by levels is how he has the one man leaning forward and how the sun is on his back and the other man is lying far back in his set and the third looking out the window,Looks as if he is pulling himself up to look out the window to finish off his smoke.What also stands out to me when I look at Bruce Weber,Is how he has used light in his photos it give the photo more pattern and texture but what makes it stand out that more is he puts is work in black and white,Which gives the photos normally a cold feel to the them but as the sun out shining on them it gives the photo more of this sexy,seductive feel to the photo and that's the whole point,He makes people want to look like that when they wear Calvin Klein.



I also picked another photo from his Calvin Klein work and It pretty much the same as what I was saying before the way he uses the light to give the photo more warmth and seductive feel and how this photo is of Mark Wahlberg and Kate Moss.
I was looking at same more of this work and they are very flirtatious and fascinating how he uses the human body in a sexually way but not to the point you feel uncomfortable looking at his work and also uses bright colours and has this 50s/90s vibe to his work but it still looks fashionable.
