Portrait - PreWork


Fine art portraiture and commercial art magazines are different from each other but in some cases, they can also work for one another. Fine art portraits is photography created in accordance with the vision of the artist as photographer. Commercial art is the art used in advertising and selling. Some photos such as Corey Arnold's photo below could work in a commercial magazine for traveling.

Fine Art Portraits:

Brooke Shaden
This photographic portrait looks very surreal and caught my attention. She had a very
effective pose and a very intelligent choice in color and digital editing. The orange sky
stands out with the grey clouds surrounding it. Her white dress made of paper airplanes
in the middle of an orange field make the model very noticeable.
Corey Arnold
This photo was taken in a very different setting and caught my eye. He is in an orange
outfit in a very cold setting. These contrasts in color leads your eye to the worker. Everything
is very balanced in this photograph and the model used an effective pose to make
it look like his job is very tough.

Commercial Art Magazines:

Freja Beha
This was one of the covers for "Cover Magazine." On this magazine, there is
 a woman covering herself with an article of clothing. I like it because
the pose is illustrating the concept of the magazine title.

Joel Stein
This was one of the covers for "Time Magazine."
On the cover, there is a man holding up a picture of another
 man's face onto his and they conjoin creating one face.
I think this picture works for this magazine stating that after
 time you change.
