Study of Digital Artist One

Introduction

Analysing 1 of their pieces of work:

The subject matter of the work to the right is the woman.
Fancher has paid particular attention to Compositional Rules in this work, as they have intentionally used a contrast between subject and background as well as centre eye dominant
The effect of using these is that the woman is emphasised in the photo and is what our attention is directly brought to.
Fancher has also used the Formal Elements of repetition,colour and light
The effect of using these is this layered shadowed allusion.

Mood:

I think the work feels both calming but also mysterious
This is created through the laying effect. It almost seems endless and the colours blend into each other in a way creating a sense of calmness. However the sense of the unknown past the last colour used creates a mysterious mood about the piece.

Technical analysis:

I think that this work was probably taken using a tripod as well as studio lighting using coloured gels.
The shadows in the work are sharp so they have used a filter to create hard light.
The work has been edited in photoshop to add all the photos together to create the layered perspective.

In this work the camera has been focused on the women's face.
The artist has used a medium aperture to create a medium depth of field.
I can tell that for each individual photo the artists used a medium shutter speed as they didn't need to capture a quick movement however they also didn't want to create a light trail.
It would have been best for them to use a medium ISO as they wouldn't have wanted a really grainy photo but I think if they used a medium ISO they would get a slightly grainy outcome adding to the blurred allusion when they were added onto one another.

Intent:

From first looking at it, I thought the work was about experimenting with technical elements and styles of photography whilst working with different people in order to reflect their style of expression.
When researching Fancher's work I discovered that in October 2022 he opened up his studio to anyone where they could pay $250 to have a piece done in his style. Even though it was a payed experience I think the concept of letting anyone model and express themselves sends such a powerful message as there are lots of stereotypes spread in the media that to model or to look 'perfect' and 'beautiful' you have to look a certain way when there is no such thing as 'perfect' .

Relate to your own work:

In my own work I would love to incorporate how he uses different styles, colours, textures and lighting shooting for both humans and objects.
