Jim Ferreira

Jim Ferreira is a current photography with a interest and passion of Noir Portraiture & Hollywood Glamour Photography. Including Vintage / Retro Portraits & Pin Up Photography. His photos are black and white with a heavy theme of lighting which is really interesting and key to my work to trial with.
 

I love the lighting in this image as it's great. The shadows are really sharp and tell a story. The mood of the photo is fear, curiosity, death and this is mainly caused or seen by the way the models are acting but also the lighting causes this as the main feature in the picture is highlighted and bright and the part of the picture which is 'dangerous' is dark and hidden. It's a shadow. 

 
This picture is the same as the one before in the sense of lighting and black and white. Even the mise-en-scene such as the clothing etc. But the film noir is really strong in this picture such as the cards, cigarettes, gun etc. This photo has inspired me to take pictures of cards moving to follow my theme of movement. I will take into account lighting and the background etc to follow this style as I really like it.
