Robert Lamb weekly post #11




     Kim Leuenberger is a Swiss photographer, from the North West region of Switzerland called Jura. She has always had in interest in photography, yet has never delved deep into it until she received her first DSLR camera a few years ago. Everything that she knows has been self-thought using resources such as the internet and magazines. She currently studies Photography at the “University of the Arts London”, which is also, were she lives. As for her Camera equipment she uses the Canon 5d Mark III with a sigma 50mm 1.4 lens.


     The three images above are from different portfolios “My Own Reflection”, “Imagine”, and “Lovely People” that can be found on her website. To be a self-taught photographer her work has a well thought-out professional look. Each image that I have above carries some sort of mystery and magic. I feel as though it has to do with a lot of things that was disused during the last critique, one being the depth of field and how I should use it to make more artistic decisions. This something that is clearly implemented in Kim’s photographs, one example of this is the last picture where the foreground plants are out of focus as well as the distant back ground. The face of the girl in the image remains slightly in focus as well as the plants directly surrounding her. Something that I could take from Kim is how she uses her aperture/ depth of field to enhance the impression of her work.
