Extreme contrasts
Pierre Javelle & Akiko Ida
Pierre Javelle was a bit of a dunce at school. He spent his childhood reading comic books which instilled in him a knack for telling stories in few images.
He found his place in art and finished school at the Decorative Arts School of Paris, where he also met Akiko.
Working some years as a technician in a photo lab in Paris, he was inspired and learned from the professional photographers he met.
He uses the Minimiam concept to illustrate articles in the press.
Akiko Ida is Japanese. Little, she created a miniature world through illustrations. Very gourmande, she started at a young age to photograph the results of her culinary experiences (with bread and pastries) as well as making fake food in miniature.
After studying at the Academy of Fine Arts in Tokyo, she came to Paris to finish her studies at the School of Decorative Arts, and became a culinary photographer for magazines and cookbooks. Images from 2002

The intentions and outcome of the images is to create a illusion that something is bigger than it is using camera composure. for example, the man with the gun shooting the cracker appears normal size compared to his surroundings because the camera is close up.
Duana Michals
Duane Michals is an American photographer who creates narratives within a series of images. Blending images with text in a format similar to cinematic sequences, his hallmark process is evinced in a group of 9 photographs titled Things are Queer (1972). “I use photography to help me explain my experience to myself,” he reflected. “I believe in the imagination. What I cannot see is infinitely more important than what I can see.” Born on February 18, 1932 in McKeesport, PA, Michals received his BA from the University of Denver in 1953 before working as a photo journalist. Over the course of his career, he has taken portraits of influential artists such as Andy Warhole, Rene Magritte, and Marcel Duchamp, often marking his prints with poetic writings and observations about his subject. His first solo exhibition was held at The Museum of Modern Art in New York, in 1970, and Michals celebrated 50 years working as a photographer in 2008 with a retrospective at the Thessaloniki Museum of Photography in Greece and the Scavi Scaligeri in Italy. He currently lives and works in New York, NY. The artist's works are included in the collections of the Art Institute of Chicago, The Museum of Modern Art in New York, and the Carnegie Museum of Art in Pittsburgh, among others..

Double exposure
contrast between two images
First response
In this image there is a very interesting theme of contrast due to the opposing images being combined into one. I turned the image black and white with the desaturate tool to create even further contrast. I used a dramatic mountain scene I photographed on my skiing trip to Chamonix. the subject I chose was suited well as it looked like it fit his head shape.
