I chose to research
more into Adeline Mai's work because when coming across her work in the '500
Photographers' website, it caught my eye, born in 1989 this photographer
attended 'Gobelins, School of the Image photography' and carried out her diploma. The way she uses and
establishes light in every photograph is incredible. The way she uses the light
creates a soft, light feel to each photograph which is iconic, every photo
different, different meanings, different people and different places but all
with the same iconic feel of Adeline Mai.
The image of the two people underwater I had picked out because the way Adeline has taken it, I felt it had a beautiful story behind it yet holds plenty of questions. why are they clothed underwater? who are they? are they in love? who knows. only Adeline. the use of light pink and purple washes over the image giving it a Retro in present kind of feel, with nothing else in the image other than the two people the viewer has nothing else to focus on but them, I like this, it leaves even more questioning to where is everyone else? With so much light included in the image the only place its established in the shot is glistening on top of the water, this is subtle and sweet, it is not shone right through the image making it an overkill.
The three portraits I feel are all about the light, the image of 'Nathan Jarrett' has half taken by light showing him innocently and his dark clothing brings him out. The portraits of the two girls are taken in such a way that it makes the viewer feel as if you are face on looking at them yourself, as if you were in the photograph. With blurred parts and big bursts of bright light these images taken by Adeline Mai are modern and simple again with the iconic purple and pink wash over of colour, these bright images stand out yet without any depth.
