Brief 1- David Hockney, Tim Walker, Diane Arbus & Ansel Adams


David Hockney 


David Hockney is an important contributor to the Pop art movement of the 1960s, he is considered one of the most influential British artists of the twentieth century.

I think using David Hockney's Joiners idea would work quite well in a photo frame backing, I think this would portray all the different types of photos you could put in them. I think if i was going to try this out I would do it in black and white so it would suit all frame types, I would do it for a shop like M&S or House of Fraser and rebrand their backings. 

Tim Walker





Timothy "Tim" Walker is a British fashion photographer. Tim Walker has worked for Vogue. Staging and romantic motifs characterise his style. Walker also makes film/video works. 

I love Tim Walkers photography, his photo shoots are so outrageous and he has great use of props to go with the theme, these were taken for a fashion summer shoot. I think they would work well in a shop as they are advertising there shop clothes as well as looking good in the frame. 

Diane Arbus 



Diane Arbus was an American photographer and writer noted for black-and-white square photographs of "deviant and marginal people or of people whose normality seems ugly or surreal"

Arbus has some great portraits that are simple but realistic, taken with film cameras so they have an aged vintage feel to them, I think these sort of pictures would suit Laura Ashelys photo frames.   


Ansel Adams   




Ansel Easton Adams was an American photographer and environmentalist. His black-and-white landscape photographs of the American West, especially Yosemite National Park, have been widely reproduced on calendars, posters, and in books.

Adams is my favourite nature and landscape photographer, again done with film, these images have great contrast and composition. I think these would suit Next's brand and photo frames, especially the rose image.
