Well the start of a new project has began and im looking at film makers and photographers for some artist research, i have looked at a few but the one that stood out to me most was:

MAN RAY

the reason this particular artist stands out to me is what he photographs. i have found that in alot of his work he likes to photograph close ups of different areas of womens bodies like this eye he photographed for instance:



 i find this piece quite intreguing because when i look at it the piece makes me wonder what the subject could b looking at. the piece to me also looks staged because knowing myself as a woman i know that no ones eye lashes look that perfect after applting make-up to the. when looking at this piece i also wonder about the two clear balls under the womans eye and what they could symbolise.


i have found that this artists photographs are visually interesting. Man Ray is an american artist who is described as a modern artist, he was a mass contributor to the Dada and surrealist movements. some of his photographs look calm and yet others look hectic and have alot going on in them, it is like they bounce of eachother to create a magnet like effect of attracting and retracting from eachother.
