Research of Three Portraiture Images and Artists

Figure 1

Clarence Sinclair Bull

Clarence Sinclair Bull chose this actress as he once said
"she doesn't have a bad line or angle" and so took many photographs and used her in many of his works.

Figure 2

Cosette Haracourt


French Singer

Figure 3

Franz Hubman, Alberto Giacometti


The image is of a very intimate nature, very close to the subject close enough to invade on his personal space.
The Man in the picture, Alberto Giacometti isn't happy about the intrusion on his space this is portrayed by his eyes, the way he stares with a partial angry look.



Close up, intrudes on the persons privacy,
can see all the detail in his face, wrinkles, lines etc

I have chosen this particular artist and image as it has a lot of relevance to my current project 'The Body' as in the brief it states that we need to use either someone from the Medway Towns or someone within UCA, which ever we choose to do must be unknown to us therefore we have to carefully go about asking them to sit for us and how we shoot them.



Unknown Person also un named which is part of the portrait part
