The young man in this photo is posing for a picture that is about to be taken. He is wearing an unzipped black jacket over a white tucked in dress up shirt. Around his neck he has a red tie that goes all the way down to his belt. He has on a pair of navy blue dress up pants and black dress up shoes. The lighting in the picture is brightest at the top then gets darker as it gets closer to the ground. To the left there is a light behind him which makes it look sort of as if it is a heavenly light shining on him. The brown wooden floor and the white door compliment the colors of the mans outfit very well but the rest of his surroundings do not really aenhance the picture, if anything it makes the picture look worse.


This photo is mainly concentrated on the clothing that the model is wearing which is why the head is cut out from the picture. The model is wearing a green jacket with a pin on the front pocket. Under the jacket she has on a black zip-up hoodie and under the hoodie she is wearing a thin dark blue button up shirt. The very bottom layer is a normal gray T-shirt. Her black jeans are perfect for the color shoes that she is wearing because her shoes are a very bright red with white which draws attention to it because of the dark jeans. An accessory that is being worn is an arrowhead necklace. A good thing about this picture is that it is nothing to fancy it is just a picture that shows a normal outfit with a little edge to it for a girl.

Peter Gehrke

Lives in Stockholm

He is from Sweden

He is a fashion and model photographer

This photo shows a woman walking in the street while looking down to the floor. The woman seems to be in a hurry because she needs to get somewhere.The model is wearing a large gray coat with a same colored gray vest under the coat. She also has on a white dress up shirt that has a very long collar that kind of ties in a bow. Her gray skirt starts off at her hip and cuts off at the middle of her thigh. Under her skirt she is wearing black tights and black boots that reach all the way up to her knees. Her light colored clothes go perfect with the background because it puts the focus of the picture exactly where it needs to be, which is on the model.



In this photo a very young women is posing and helping advertise H&M's merchandise in a photoshoot. The model is posing in a white, yellow, and mostly pink dress. Over the dress is being complimented with an unbuttoned all black blazer. On her left wrist she is sporting a bracelet that is black, red, and blue. The white background really makes the bright colors on the models clothes standout. Her fair curly hair makes the dress look a lot better than it would originally look with another hair style. Her incredibly feminine figure makes the blazer look very girly when it usually makes a model look more masculine. The way the model is positioning her body exaggerates the feminine look the the dress is supposed to give.

In this picture there is a young woman dressed with an edgy preppy style sitting down in a bowling ally while waiting for her turn to bowl. In this picture the thing I really like is how the shadows were used in this picture. On the ceiling the shadows change from light to dark and in the end to where the bowling pins are placed it gets very bright which makes it stand out because of the ceilings dark shades. The colors of the models clothing in the picture compliments her surroundings very well. Even though purple is a rather dark color it looks kind of bright here because of her jeans and the lighting in the picture. The brightest part of the picture is the lighting on her face which makes the rest of the dark lighting behind her very gloomy.

In this photo there is a runway model dressed up and posing for a picture while walking off the stage.It looks like this picture is being taken during a practice run before the actual runway show. There is darkness surrounding the photo making it look as if the model is in an oval. The surrounding darkness also makes the picture seem like it was taken with the flash on the camera. I really like how the models close are very bright and shiny which compliments her skin and faire hair very well. Another thing that makes the models clothes standout is the surrounding darkness because the excess black brings out the brightness in the clothing. Another great thing her clothes bring out is the false flash look that is being used.
