I really enjoy looking at fine art photography. There are a lot of different styles and i really enjoy the ones that stand out from others. Cig Harvey’s photography style of fine art is unique.
Each of his photos can keep you busy for quite some time and each of his work tells a story or is captured in that split second where you don’t know what the subject will do or won’t do. So you can’t really know what is going to happen.
Most of his photographs don’t show the models face. We know that the face tells us easily id it’s happy or sad. Now hide that face and the whole picture is unknown and you have to read the content with the body language, the pose, the environment and the objects. It is a whole new story and you need to use your imagination which by the way, in the today’s age of technology and media we don’t use that much.
All the pictures we see today are focused on the eyes and we also automatically look at the face and the look. Products and commercial work is sold with the face mostly. If we see a ad with a happy person holding a product we connect with it and think:”Having that product will make me smile/be confident/happy/beautiful too.” The whole story is already told since it’s a process of pre-selling a product to us. So it’s really good to see different photography that doesn’t tell you everything and grabs your wallet and such enjoyable photography is made by Cig Harvey.
Open your mind, heart and look at the work of Cig Harvey. More of his art photography work can be found at his website so make sure you check it out.
