Comparing My Work- Mine and Duane Michals

Are your images and theirs both in black and white or colour?

Both mine and Duanes work are in black and white, i feel that black emphasizes what is happening in the shot, it brings out detail such as shadow etc.












Are your images part of a sequence or individual photos?

 Both mine and Duanes work are part of a sequence, however the themes may be different we still follow a similar sequential pattern.




















Are your images and theirs large or small?
Both of our images are rather small, this may be just what he wants or it could be that it has some type of effect.


Are your images and theirs manipulated?
My photographs were originally in colour, i changed them to black and white using photoshop, Comparing them to Duanes photos, his were originally in black and white so their is no manipulation.


Are your images sending the same message?
In my opinion our images are not showing the same message, mine is showing a sense of friendship, whilst duanes photos are showing a sense of solidarity perhaps?


Are your images of the same subject?
Our images are not of the same subject, he seems to be focusing on one person, whilst i am focusing on two.


Are your images composed the same way?
In some aspects yes, they are composed in the same way in the fact that they are both set outdoors, however he seems to be in some kind of tunnel so the light is filtering through the exit, creating an almost eery silhouette of the model.
Duanes photos start off close up however throughout the sequence the model is getting further away, whilst my models are stationary during the sequence.
