Framing Compare + Contrast

 Looking at the 1920s photographer, Edward Steichen, one can see that his photo style is very clean and basic. He has framed his model as the center of attention so the eye can travel straight to her. His black and white contrast with a touch of offset reminds the viewer of the styles once demonstrated in photography before the digital era. As for the model – she posseses a very propper stance with a basic expression. She doesnt do anything too flashy and keeps composureNow looking at the photographer pop photograper, Ted Emmons, we can clearly see how times have evolved and that the fashion industry itself has established itself. Althought times have dramatically changed, one can still see how photographers still like to frame their models in the dead center for a very “deer in headlights look.” This framing continues to emphasize the clothing and allows the viewer to look straight at the subject. As for the composition – even though there was only black and white film in the 1920s, the over exposed vibrany seems to be very common with fashion photograhers today.
