Photographer No.5 - Marc Laroche

I have picked Marc Laroche as one of my chosen photograph as i like the way in which he is able to photograph hair in a way which is unique and different to everyday hair styles. Although these photograph may have been taken while the model was moving her hair, due to the precision this is not so apparent therefore it almost looks natural.

 In Marc Laroche's first photograph you can see the model in the centre of the composition however there is a large space at the top. The model looks to have jumped and the movement of her hair has been captured. Her hair has created a shape around her face which compliments her facial features such as her cheek bones. By her having a middle parting in her hair, this allows  some soft of precisiton to the photograph rather than it being a messy hair photograph. As you can see the photograph is in black and white which gives a natural feel to the photograph and makes it look more like fashion photograph opposed to any other type of photography






In Marc Laroche's second photograph you can see a model in the centre of the composition and her hair has been blown forward to create a vertical line. Due to the precision of the photograph it makes it look like her hair is naturally like this and that it has not be posed at all. Also her body is straight and it doesn't appear to have been moved therefore this again add to the fact that it look imposed and natural. Again the black and white effect on the photograph gives the photograph a fashion photography look.

In Marc Laroche third photograph you can see that the models hair is spread out across the top half of the composition. Her hair is able to create a   mohawk shape which looks natural rather than posed.  The hair appears to become lighter as it gets nearer to the model face. This allows us to see her face as her hair isn't creating any harsh shadows on her face. Her hair looks so dark at the back that it almost blends in with the back background which could be seen as a negative within this photograph.

In Marc Laroche forth photograph you can see the models hair being blown to one corner of the composition. This photograph can be described as more messy looking compared to his other photographs which are defined and posed. This is further shown through her having curly hair which looks more messy than straight hair.Her face and her hair follow the same direction to show the movement of the model herself as well as the movement of her hair.








Influence
I was influenced by Marc Laroche photographs as I wanted to try and photograph someone flicking their hair and to capture it when it in the air so that it look unique and almost strange. I was also influenced by this photograph as he made me want to look at making some of my photographs black and white as i like the way in which model is the main focus rather than the colour.

Summary
Overall I like Marc Laroche as he is able to make photograph which you would assume would look messy to look defined and posed. Also I like the way that Marc Laroche makes all of his photographs black and white to give them a fashion look.
