Rasmus Mogensen is a Danish Fashion and Beauty photographer. I have chosen a few examples of his work which stand out to me because of use of lighting . It is quite strong and harsh with dark shadows. This makes the model look strong, confident and slightly masculine with clothes she is wearing. However it also emphasizes the model's curves giving a sense of femininity. I will be using similar lighting to make my photographs look more dramatic. The last few images use some kind of paint/make-up on the model's skin which reflects the light, drawing our attention to the features of the face and the texture of the skin. This makes the image a lot more interesting.

Texture in within the frame, rather than just on the model's skin.
Ben Hassett is a beauty photographer. His images interest me because of the 'limited colour palette' he uses . His images are simple yet striking. I would like to use make-up and body paint, continuing the reflective theme, to make the texture of my model's face and skin more interesting.
