Andrea Bricco and Hendrik Bonnevier analysis

Context

Andrea Bricco grew up in a small town in Wisconsin in America and her family had a restaurant where she used to work. She used her images mostly for magazines and features in cookbooks When she took her photographs she mostly used plain backgrounds and changed the direction the light was coming from.

Meaning

In most of her photographs the lighting is coming from above so you can see the illustration better. It also looks realistic and in focus. Her images are very clear because of the angle she has taken the photographs from.

Aesthetic

Andrea Bricco positions her items in a very creative way. She does a quick sketch of the food that she is also photographing. I think she does this because the illustration might help clarify what that food is. Her photographs are linked to Natsko Seki because of the way they both use large scales and the illustrations and images are different sizes.


Context

Hendrik Bonnevier mostly takes photographs for Vogue magazine. He also advertises brands like Chanel in his photographs. Most of the items that he uses are items that women are into. Such as perfume, hats, purses, shoes, handbags etc. His photographs are all landscape so he can fit as many item in one photograph as possible. He uses vibrant and bright bold colours in his photographs so it can attract people when they are looking at it. He used a designed composition so he had already had an idea and planned how he was going to take the photograph of the objects and all the colours he wanted to use. His photographs are quite positive since he uses bright colours. But it can also be a bit too busy because there are so many items in the photograph that it is hard to see what the artist is trying to portray. But on the same note, it is also energetic.
