Photographer Five: Sue Kennedy

Why chosen: I have chosen this photographer because the photographer has captured interesting pictures/portraits of babies. I like the simple grey background used in most of her images to keep the attention on the babies themselves. I also like the way the babies don't look posed, they look natural. 

 In this image the photographer has used a light grey background with natural lighting. The photographer has captured the baby laughing which makes the image interesting to look at. The baby is the main focus of the photograph, therefore a simple, plain colour has been used for the background so that it doesn't take away the attention from the baby.

 This photograph is very similar to the picture above, a grey background has been used and natural lighting. The baby is also the main focus of this image. I like the position of the baby in this photograph and the angle it has been taken from. The colour has been reduced from this picture making it grey and white rather than black and white, this makes the babies big brown eyes stand out in the picture.

 This picture also uses the grey background, as many of her images do. The lighting is also very natural in this image. This image looks less posed then the image above because the baby is just naturally sitting on a chair. The babies hat and eyes are the same colour which draws the eye when looking at the photograph. 

This photograph shows the relationship between a mother and baby. The baby is very naturally posed, placed in her mothers arms. The lighting in this photograph is quite dark and focused on the baby itself. The image has been make black and white so that the baby is the main focus because the mothers top is black, therefore you can not really see it. The background is also black, meaning the mothers top will blend in with the background. 

Influence: This photographer has influenced me slightly as I would be interested in taking photographs of babies as I feel they are different to previous photographs I have taken of models. 

Summary: Overall this photographer hasn't really influenced me as I was unable to take photographs of babies, therefore this photographer has no link to my own work.
