Griffin

Griffin's work it just stunning. Simple as that. At a first over view you might think he is a street photographer, a food photographer, or a pet photographer. But when you put them all together you realize he is a master of portraits. They are not standard portraits however. They are not of people, they are of dogs, cats, food, cars, and more. He uses great contrasting shadows of dark and light to bring his photos to life. He loves using black and white to rid you of color confusion and bring back to the basics.

I chose these 2 photos to show you both the 'pop' factor he has and the portrait factor. The fisrt photo of ice cream make you mouth water. The bold contrast of light and dark, ice cream and chocolate sauce reach out to you. The composition is simple and centeres, which makes it not too complicated. The second photo of his cat and dog give an intersting juxtaposition. The in focus cat stands out and above the blurry dog in the back ground. The composition has a nice diagonal flow.
