These are some examples of multiple imagery, I like these images because within all of them the photographer has focused on one object and taken images from different angles and directions. I think these are very effective because they all focus on something and this makes the multiple imagery look very interesting however it is sometimes better to focus on something which is slightly similar but there is a difference for example they could focus on different types of leaves or plants. I think this would be very effective because it would include some variety into the image. 

This is a multiple imagery created of a young girl, the person who has photographed these images has taken photographs from different view points of this young girl for example he has taken three images which include the girls eye and has spaced them out within the multiple imagery to make it more interesting.

This is a multiple imagery photo of a bag, I did not think it would be possible to create a multiple imagery of an image as simple as this however the composition of these images is very different which means that the image works and it also means that by looking at the whole image, we can imaging what it looks like the whole way round.

These images are all examples of Mapplethorpe's portraits, in my opinion these are very effective because Mapplethorpe fills the composition and his models facial expressions also give the composition more depth and meaning. The bottom four images in this image bank are all self portraits and some people say that he may have taken these as a way of exploring himself and his sexuality. I think his images are all very effective and find that his photography has a lot of meaning such as him photographing things to represent sexuality and the gay community. I would like to replicate him photography and do not think it would be too difficult to replicate as he often controls the models expression to seem very serious. 

This is one of Mapplethorpe's portraits of an older gentlemen. I like this image very much because I feel that the composition has been thought about very much as with this the models face is not in the whole of the frame, I think this works because we can see what he is wearing and it gives us an insight into what type of person he is. I also like how the model is pulling a very natural facial expression and looking directly at the camera. 

This is another of Mapplethorpe's portrait photographs however this is slightly different to some of his others due to being a self-portrait. I think this photograph works very well because Mapplethorpe has used very harsh lighting which links in well with him wearing a leather jacket and smoking. The composition of this is good because he has included his face above the middle of the picture.

These images all show contrast, contrast is shown by showing two different things and we can see the difference between them. I like these images because I think they all show contrast very well, whether its the difference in colour, the difference in material or just a different object. Sometimes I think it is more difficult to see the contrasts within images but in my opinion it is very evident in the above images. 

                                      

I think this photo shows contrast very clearly because all of the objects within this image are apples however the photographer has chosen to include on single red apple whereas the rest are green. I think this works very well because it stands out and feel that it is very clear this is showing contrast. 

This image shows contrast also, it does this by being a picture of coffee beans however there is one single green m&m, this shows contrast because the two objects are completely different things which makes it very noticeable within the image and I feel this shows contrast clearly.

These are some examples of back of the head portraits. In these images the photographer has often turned the camera portrait to include all of the girls hair. In all of these images the photographer has placed the model in the middle of the image however it may be more interesting if there were to one side. I think these images are all very effective because almost all of the hair is included in the photograph and I think this makes the composition better because we can see the majority of what is trying to be included in the photographs. When photographing back of head I would like to make sure I  rotate the camera to do the same because I like the compositions of these photos and think they would be reasonably easy to replicate. 

This is an example of a back of head portrait, however this is slightly different to some of the other examples because the model has her hands on her hips and photography has captured some of this and I feel that this ruins the photo very much. 

This is a very good example of a back of head portrait because the photographer has rotated the camera so that the picture is portrait and has also zoomed out far enough so that we can see the ends of her hair and slightly above her head also. I also think this is a good example because the photo is very natural due to being taken against a very natural setting such as a room and I think the colours all work very well together also.

These are some examples of portraits photographs, portraits can either be in colour or black and white as both are effective. I chose these images because I felt they all showed emotion through facial expressions. I like how the composition of all of the above images is very different which makes all of the images unique. The focus point of most portraits is the eyes and I feel that in the above images eyes are all very important. 

This is a black and white portrait of Angelina Jolie, this is a very well composed portrait because the model is centred slightly to the left and she is also side on which makes the image different to some others, De to being black and white it is also easer to see the form of her face and neck which makes her look very slim. The use of the hat is also good because it takes up the majority of the frame to prevent wasted space whilst her eyes are still centred making the image look very professional. 

This is a coloured portrait of a young girl outside with trees and greenery in the background, this works very well because we associate children with being adventurous and this could explain why there is greenery in the back ground and her hair is also not perfectly groomed. The photographer has also made the model look directly into the camera which has worked very well as the photo looks very dramatic.

These are some examples of photo joiner images. I like photo joiners because I think they look very creative and can also show more depth as they show different angles of the object in the image. I chose these images as I think they show a variety of things, for example building, objects and even sometimes people.  

This is a good example of a photo joiner because the photographer has included the camera on the mac to show that she is taking the photo however the photos she has done do not match up very well which is why this image works so well. The outside edges are very uneven which makes it clear this is a photo joiner. We can also see one person who is outside the window had moved between her taking two of her photo which has meant that he is visible in two of the images within the photo joiner. 

This is possibly my favourite example of a photo joiner because the photographer has used a very well known area which has meant that although the image does not match up clearly, you can tell that this is Trafalgar Square in London. There is also a lot of people within this image which has resulted in some people being seen in several of the different photos as the photographer has taken them. The composition is also very good because the outline does not match up very well and the sky is a variety of colours which makes it different to some other images.

These are my texture images, some of the are taken of texture within something natural for example a leaf or a mushroom and some are taken of texture within something man-made, for example rope or cotton. I like these images because you focus on the detail of texture and the texture is very prominent. 

This image shows texture very well because from the photo we can see that this is animal fur and from this we can image what the texture would be. The photographer has also used a macro lens which has meant we can see the single strands of fur and again helps us to imagine the texture. The composition is not very important into helping us to imagine the texture however I do think the photographer has composed this in a way that works for the image. 

This image shows texture very well because of the shadows in between the grooves of the mushroom, this works very well and I think this is a good example of a texture image. This also shows texture because of the grass along the right hand side, we can also image the texture of this which makes the image slightly different to some of the other photographs in this image bank.

These images all show shape, I chose these because they show shape in different ways, for example in the first two images someone has made a heart out of something, in the third people have made a star by putting their fingers together, in the fourth there are two blocks in the shape of houses, the fifth shows different shaped objects over a rippled surface and the last is a cookie cutter in the shape of a gingerbread man. 

This image shows shape very well because we know from this image that the heart has been made by turning two book pages in on themselves which shows shape very well because we know that this is not naturally like this and has been created for the photo which means that the photographer has intended for this to happen. 

This image shows shape in a very different way because this image has been artificially created whereas the others are all natural. This has been created by the photographer putting two images together however it is very clear that the photographer has down this.
