Pablo's Light Drawings

These are some of Pablo's work, as you can see his light photography is very precise and his work is fairly accurate, my favourite piece of work is the one above this text, it looks very exciting and bold, it looks more of a catherine wheel, i really admire Picasso's work as it is unique to other photographers, i would love to create work similar to Pablo!

Pablo Picasso

Pablo Diego José Francisco de Paula Juan Nepomuceno María de los Remedios Cipriano de la Santísima Trinidad Ruiz y Picasso known as Pablo Picasso was born October 1881, was was a mainly an artist who also had a fine eye to his photography, in 1949 Pablo started to construct images of drawings using light as his pencil. By moving the light source, the light can be used to selectively illuminate parts of the subject or to "paint" a picture by shining it directly into the camera lens. Light painting requires a slow shutter speed, usually a second or more. Light painting can take on the characteristics of a quick pencil sketch. In 1949 Pablo Picasso was visited by Gjon Mili, known photographer and lighting innovator, who introduced him to some of his photographs of ice skaters with lights attached to their skates. Immediately Picasso started making images in the air with a small flashlight in a dark room. This series of photos became known as Picasso's "light drawings." Of these photos, the most celebrated and famous is known as "Picasso draws a centaur in the air

As you can see from Baileys work he has reputation for working with black and white portrait shots, Most of these modelling shots are from when David worked in the British Vogue, as you can see his use of sharp lighting lit up the faces of the models and made them really stand out of the portrait. Most of Baileys portrait work is using female models.

David Bailey

His work reflects the 1960s British cultural trend of breaking down antiquated and rigid class barriers by injecting a 'punk' look into both clothing and artistic products.Bailey has also taken a keen interest in art over the years.
