Brian Griffin

During a lesson we were shown a video about certain photographers who focused there imaging on portraits. within this video they included a section upon Brian griffin. the image which took me aback you can find bellow:




















I had great difficulty finding this image. I had a look on Brian griffin's website:
http://www.briangriffin.co.uk/ -( I really didn't like Brian Griffin's website it was really distracting and unorganised "havoc" basically so Ive learnt from his website to keep it simple and easily direction-ed.)
And because this image was taken so long ago in 1977 this image was not on his website, I had a look in the library they had one book specifically on his work but did not contain the right image. I stumbled across this image simply by accident on a book which devoted sections to photographers, this book was:Three perspectives on photography.
this image consists of George Cole an actor popular for his time i liked this image and found it relevant to include within my research because it linked to a previous image which i found taken by Nick Roylance and also in a way linked to peter Jackson's fashion photography. I loved how within this picture you are unable to see the actors face because it has been burnt out but yet you can see him within his reflection. I think this image defined, how i am wanting to portray my images and the subject matter. I wanted to not look at the face value (how the face was burnt out)but how they are reflected and how you read into there expression or personality simply by the reflection within the mirror.
