Rankin
John Rankin Waddell, also known under his working name Rankin, is a British portrait and fashion photographer born in 1966. His photographs are often of celebrities in natural poses in black and white showing contrasting light. I personally like his work because its unique and simple but is really effective. Also it looks cool as fashion and celebrity photos.

My best Identity photos are these ones:
close up identity
I am most happy with this edit for identity as it is an intriguing photo with a double meaning. Also, the eye makes you want to look into it as if its telling you a story.
This is another version of the same picture but in a different colour. I like both as they are stunning and inviting but for me the top one pips it as its more vibrant and exciting.
Akatre
Akatre is a group of graphic designers from France, I think that their work is creative and flamboyant, and the group use a variety of colours, props and backgrounds to make their work look eye catching and unique.

In photography I've been learning about background photography. I have gained lots of knowledge about the purpose of background photography and to prove this I need my own evidence. Here is my background pictures

This picture stands out and that's why I have selected it as my favourite one of Sagmeister, the reasons I like this picture is because it has unique features to it that you wouldn't see on an everyday/normal picture.

resolving my Final Piece first attempt
With my first attempt I tried to get the original This one came out a bit better and I used a different method to cut
picture and crop it out using the magnetic out the original photo by using the pen tool instead. I think it
lasso tool. However, the outcome was a bit worked better and it was more user friendly. I also changed the
dodgy as it couldn't crop the ball out properly background so it would match the posture of the new guy. I like
and the choice of stadium/background could both as they are similar to the style of Bob Martin as you can see
be better. below
