Fine Art vs. Commercial Portrait

Matt Holyoak

In this photos one of the main differences that I noticed was his expression and

composure. In a lot of his photos for magazines he has a very serious look intended to draw the consumer in. But in the fine art photo he just appears to be more himself more.

the colors also differ in the commercial photo the colors are more black and white while the 

fine art photo has more soft pastels.

Project 10: Commercial Portrait

Commercial Portrait photography is photography mainly used to 

promote or advertise some type of product or brand.

In the commercial portraits all they are trying to do is sell the product

there is almost zero artistic intent in some commercial portraits. 

Project 10: Fine Art Portraits

A fine are portrait is an artistic portrait that is meant to have a

significant deeper meaning and tries to reveal something about the subject.

In these portraits I feel like they are trying to convey the emotions of the subject
so that it feels like you are directly looking into the person without any
barriers of society.

Project 9: Surrealism and Photomontage

Surrealism is a type of photography that is mainly made up of absurd

surreal images that are impossible in reality.

To make this photo I took photos of two people and put them in this spooky background.
I cut them out from their original background and then cut out and put a computer
screen on their head. I thought the screen was to bland so I then took pictures of their
twitter and Instagram and put that on the screen that is on their head. After all
of this i adjusted the saturation to heavily desaturate the people and their background
and then saturate and brighten the screen. I wanted my photo to be surreal
and crazy but also make some sort of statement and I think I achieved that.
