Alan Sugar

i first went on the internet and coped the picture of Alan Sugar and the bag of sugar onto photoshop. To crop the head  i used the Polygonal lasso tool to go round his head then i pressed the letter 'Q' then i used the paint brush tool and the rubber to refine the edges of Alans head. i then pressed the 'Q' key to take it back to the selections. i then went to 'select' and 'modify' then lastly 'feather'. after that i pressed 'CMD' 'J' to created the selection into a new layer. i went to layers and duplicated the number of head and moved them around onto the bag of sugar.

Portraiture 


  • Diane Arbus - she used her camera to take away what people did not want to see
  • photographers like taking photographs of unusual people/things.
  • Walker Evans - sharecroppers waiting to have their photographs taken
  • why did walker/Evans want to take pictures of somethings that photographers normally wouldn't want to publish? - was it curiosity? 
  • Diane - photograph of Colin Wood
  • Bresson's portraits were unsatisfactory 1966/1967
  • Vacarro lied to Picasso that the camera wasn't working, so as he relaxed he too the photograph of him unexpectedly. 
  • photographers want to show more that just normal photograph that get seen

Diane Arbus was an American photographer, born on March the 14th 1923 and passed away on the 2nd of 1971.
Arbus used her camera to take what people did not want to see. Most of her pictures were unusual photographs of thing or people. Pictures that other photographers would take by mistake and not publish them because they were 'Mistakes'.
