Nils Orth
Untitled Faces aren’t particularly flattering images, however they’re quite compelling, rubbing against many photographic conventions. I chose to look at Nils Orth as her images are quite raw and I like how there's no shying away from the models imperfections. As I was looking at beauty through part of my final project I looked at how vulnerable this could make someone within todays society. As we are expected to look a certain way, imperfections are not the ideal.
My response
I chose to respond to Nils Orth as I like the way her portraits quite brutally honest in the way they display the imperfections of the models she is photographing. My first edit I decided to air brush my model and darken his eyes I like the innocence this creates on his face. I did this in order to make a comparison to my other edit.
This edit I edited more towards Nils Orth as the model has a sort of gritty look in which I feel she adds to all her photographs, I also didn't edit out all his perfections unlike the other photo. I think this edit is definitely more towards how Orth edits her photographs and I feel has a similar effect to the audience. I think this photo overall is successful, however to improve I would do other edits and maybe expose the photograph more and chance the black and white balance. Also I could do other shoots to develop the response and use other models with difference faces and features.
