Form

–Definition and Theory 

Form is a three dimensional shape e.g. a cube.

Sculpture and 3D design are about creating forms.

In 2D artworks, tone and perspective can be used to create an illusion of form.

What we see in the image is just a basic pepper taken in black and white film. It looks almost human, muscular, like a body builder tensing. The photo doesn't look like what it is. 

Upon initial inspection, you can see a pyramid of flowers but after further scan, the shadowed side is made up of what looks to be dead or dying flowers. 

–Photographer Research
Irving Penn was an American photographer, known for his fashion photography, still lifes and portraits. During his career he worked at Vogue and then he went on to do independent advertisement work and his images to influence the art of photography to this day.






Like photographers Brandt and Western that I have seen before, Penn chooses to shoot in black and white to further distort his images. He seems to have a heavy focus on distorting the form of the human face using hands as the tools to mold it. I will try and incorporate this style into my work.
