My photographs compared to Muybridge and Michals photographs have both similarities and differences.
Most of my images are in colour unless manipulated in photoshop to make them black and white, whereas both of their photographs are in black and white.
Both Muybridge and Michals photographs are all in series and have a theme of sequence running through some of their images. However, my images are individual but have a theme running throughout.
I do like their series of images, I prefer Michals photographs as his photographs include variety and style whereas Muybridges' only focus on certain aspects, but I know if i studied more of his series I may see more of a variation in photographs.
My images are large because they are individual and are a lot bigger than Michals and Muybridges' because theirs are in a series so therefore have to be smaller to fit on the same print.
Their images and my own images are not manipulated. I could choose to manipulate my photographs but choose not too. Some of Muybridges' images were manipulated as he used to cut and paste and use negatives to change his images.
Their images send their own messages to the view. For example, Michals photographed portraiture in the real world so this could send a message to the viewer to say that everyone is normal and you don't have to be famous to be photographed, as he just focused on people out in the streets.
Muybridges' images may send a message, as he used some of his images to help with a debate that was popular at the time, so he used his images are proof.
My images are more about nature and landscapes, and I don't do that many portraiture photographs. Muybridge did both nature photography and some landscape. Whereas Michals based most of his images on portraiture and some on landscape and nature.
Both mine, Michals and Muybridges images all vary in the way they are composed. As all of our images were not planned to be taken (apart from Muybridges Horse series). They are all random which gives each image a sense of uniqueness. Michals didn't use a studio as he didnt have one available so the only light he could use was the natural light or artificial light. All of our photographs vary in being outside or inside, as photography can take you anywhere, so there is no point in trying to strain the amount of space you can use.
