James Nader Research

 James Nader is a fashion photographer which photographs mainly for magazine. The reason why I'm looking towards fashion photography is because i want to do something based around fashion and see where my ideas lead me.
This model is pictured, I say as quite a vintage look mainly because of the hair and the make up. Also the black and white effect gives this vintage vibe towards the image.
The picture is mainly based around the 60's because in the image the woman is led by another woman so it'd be allowed for women to not be accompanied by a male.
The position she's lay in is on her front lay down, I think this is effective because it doesn't keep you eye out of the picture because her body is cropped up to her upper body, so your eyes lead out of the picture with her body. The composition of the other woman in the background is smartly don't because her legs lead your eyes towards the models face.
There are many triangles used, one example would be the bend in her back, this just keeps your eyes busy, especially because its near the end of the image, it keeps the eyes just there. Another triangle made would be her elbow because it leads you towards the make up.

Whereas this image looks more posed unlike the first one. This is a more modern era I think because it's completely different clothing than the first image.
This image follows the rule of thirds because the lamp is on the line towards the left, so immediately your eyes look into the background and you start to notice the window with a brick view. This implies that maybe she isn't able to afford a luxury apartment because she's only seeing a brick window. Also suggests that she's trapped and she has no way out. So, it's ironic because the window is her only way to liberate herself but thats been blocked.

The triangles used just above her head keep the eyes focussed towards her, and her body gesture. Nader purposely did this to keep you more focussed onto the model rather than her surroundings.

The bottom image is very twenties based, you can tell this by the short twenties hair which women were anxiously excited about. Also the make up and shot is very twenties model like.
In this image towards the left, the photographer used artificial lighting, mainly because many photographers around that time loved to keep the face quite bright, to contrast against the dark background. So, it gives this twenties feel towards it.
Judging from the costume she's wearing she's quite a wealthy woman also only urban or wealthy women cut their hair short unlike women who lived in rural areas.
I like the image on the left because it makes the model seem more like a movie star. I like the portrait image of the model because it makes the audience relate to her in a sense, makes the viewer feel part of the image.
