Assignment 5
Summary of Perou's work
Style-Perou's work is very stylised and commercial, but he also shares a lot of variety. If you look at his diary work or personal section it's very natural and resembles an everyday photo.
Technique- Perou always uses a digital camera and a studio or on location for his work.
Narrative- Perou's work doesn't normally have a larger amount of a narrative they are normally for fashion or Tv so it doesn't have a message other than promoting the label. Perou did do a homeless campaign with a huge narrative, raising awareness for the homeless.
Context- Overall all of Perou's work is very commercial and fits together in his general body of work.
My work
So I thought I'd try something a little different. The typical way was to get some of Perou's commercial work and try and recreate. They say to never work with animals so that's what I did. Bit of a mistake.
So I got my Dog, Cookie to model for me, firstly- she needs a haircut, her fur is covering her eyes and she looks little a giant fluff ball.
So I picked her up and tried creating some of Perou's work on his 'secret diary'. Some of the photo's include his dog's in positions which look comfortable and natural. After a while she started getting grumpy with me, maybe she isn't model material like Perou's dog's.
I tried to re-create some of the positions but try and put something different forward. Like getting her to look the opposite way.
I didn't get a lot of good photo's and I wouldn't want to use most of them, so here are the 'alright' ones.

Obviously you can tell which one is Perou's work. I haven't edited these photo's which would improve the quality. Perou's background is faded which looks much better. Also Perou's isn't full length of the dog's body.
Improvements- Editing.
I may be able to get my Dog to pose again and edit this post.
