David Bailey inspired photography

Within groups today (me, Jennie Hawkes and Scott), we created photos inspired by the work of David Bailey especially featuring Rembrandt lighting.

We started our work by trying to recreate this photo, but the lighting was very orange-toned, so when changed to black and white it was far too underexposed as well as lacking in contrast.

We then started to create photos with more contrast and better lighting to become more like David Bailey’s photographs.

However these were still underexposed and lacked contrast so we changed locations by natural light to improve our photos.

These become much more accomplished photos which feature the Rembrandt lighting.
