Michaelo Wharley is another photographer that has done series with environmental portraits that are quite interesting in the London. The photos look similar because of the use of flash and it kind of creates a mood.
Michael said that “I’ve been based at the Make Space for over 5 years now, but even after all that time, it is still such a characteristic experience to turn from the relatively mundane corridor into a studio and be amazed by the world of wonder made by an artist in their small white box, as they have personalized or tailored the space to fit and reflect their work.Multiply that effect by 60 spaces, and that’s a stunningly varied set of working environments.I tried to capture some of that diverse creativity and variety by visiting willing artists – from puppet makers to screen printers, sculptors to painter– for 10 minutes apiece, armed with one flash unit and a camera, to explore their working worlds.” http://www.michaelwharleyphoto.com/make-space-environmental-portraits-artists/
Wharley’s work is very similar to my vision to this project. I like the simplicity behind his portraits and the way it is obvious what the person does on the image. It seems that he used flash light in every environment that brings that clean natural light and photographs are much sharper and professional. Each model’s posture is difference same as their expressions that represent themselves as a person as well. I like the way he combined the portraits of individuals with their pet as it brings more emotion and warmth to the photograph as it is more personal.
