1. Ian Phillips McLaren
Ian's photography work consists of a majority of different postures and facial expressions within them. The portraits contain both black and white and coloured shots. An interesting element within this work is the use of double shots for one photograph. The two shots contain a different facial expression as well as a different posture/body language. I think that the double shots work really well because they're so different but capture the same person/people. Overall, Ian's work is varied and has no specific subject.

2. Richard Avedon
Richard's portraits have one specific feature in common - they're all in black in white. They include a variety of different shots including close-ups, medium close-ups and medium shots. The portraits contain both males and females and feature different shades of grey/black. Some of the portraits contain only the model within the shots. Whereas, some of the shots contain props such as weapons, cigarettes and glasses. The backgrounds of the shots are simple and are only one colour to allow for the models to stand out well against it.
3, Jenni Tapanila ---
Jenni's portraits are very unconventional to the stereotypical portraits. The main subject for her portraits is 'horror'. They contain a variety of different shots that use blood to create a horrific and traumatic scene. Props found within her portraits include objects like guns, knives and needles. The portraits also contain both colour and black and white shots. The variation of using colour and black and white makes the portraits broader and more interesting for the audience to look at.
4. Philippe Echaroux
Philippe's work is really varied and consists of different shots that do not particularly relate. The shots include both colour and black and white portraits. They also vary in the amount of the model that is being shown - these include close-ups, medium close-ups and even long shots. The facial features within some of the shots are the main focus and therefore use close-ups to capture them. The shots that I like in particular is the paint pigment shots as well as the painting light shots because they're uncommon and are different to the majority of portraits that are taken.
5. Troy Jensen
Troy's work consists of a variety of both black and white and coloured shots. His work features both studio and location portraits. After looking directly at his photographs, I can see that 'Kim Kardashian' is a main topic within his work. His portraits consist of a variety of different shot types - including extreme close-ups, close-ups, mediums, medium longs and long shots. The majority of location shots consist of woodland and country backgrounds. The backgrounds in the studio shots consist of both light and dark colours - black, white and grey. I think that his work is interesting because it features a variety of different subjects and situations,

6. Terry Richardson
Terry's photography portraits consist of a variety of different celebrities - including Rihanna, Miley Cyrus, Gwen Stefani and Mila Kunis. His photographs are all featured within the studio and range from fun and silly faces to the uncensored shots containing little clothing. Some of his photographs also feature Terry himself and feature him on his own as well as featuring him in shots with people such as Rihanna, Amber Heard, Nicki Minaj and Miley Cyrus. The shots are quite simple but they create a relaxed atmosphere as well as a serious and a sexy atmosphere.

7. Jim Crone
Jim Crone's work focuses purely on hair and make-up, with hair being the most important of the two. His photographs feature women who have had their hair styled. The shots contain a variety of different styles from crinkled to extremely curly. The main shot type seen within his shots is a medium shot. The portraits feature both studio and location shots but the most used one being the studio - the backgrounds being a variety of different shades of grey as well as a purple colour. I think that these photographs look really interesting because they feature different angles.

8. Sharon Montrose
http://www.sharonmontrose.com
Sharon Montrose is a famous animal photographer. Her photographs capture portraits of animals both in studio and on location. Her photographs include a variety of different animals including household pets like dogs and cats and more adventurous animals like zebras and cows. Her work is very different and therefore intrigues a lot of people. She captures different angles and body language of the animals which work really well. The fact that most portrait photographers focus on humans indicates that her portraits are different and unusual due to the fact that she focuses on animals.

9. Annie Leibovitz
Annie's work is very different to stereotypical portraits. Her work contains a lot of fictional characters and surroundings that are related to existing fairy tales. Her work also contains a lot of celebrities including Meryl Streep, Leonardo Dicaprio and Lady Gaga. Her photographs feature both colour and black and white shots. The black and white photographs create a serious and defined look compared to the coloured photographs. I think that her photographs are interesting because of the association to existing fairy tales. I also think that they're interesting because they feature celebrities posing differently compared to how they would usually be seen.

10. Cindy Sherman
Cindy's photographs are uncommon compared to that of other portraits. The photographs contain both colour and black and white shots. The black and white shots create definition. The majority of the coloured photographs feature a use of an exaggeration of make-up. The make-up includes things like defining coloured lipstick and bright coloured eyebrows as well as orange tanned skin. The shots are very different and make the audience question what is actually going on within the photographs. I think that her photographs capture an exaggerated make-up look that is not seen as common and therefore fits the 'unusual portrait' topic.

11. Alexander Khokhlov
Alexander's photography work consists of facial art. He captures women who have 2D or 3D patterns on their faces and necklines. The shots contain a variety of colour and black and white patterns. The photographs feature both definitive and abstract designs that attract the attention of the audience. His work is based within the studio to allow for the patterns on the women's faces to stand out well. The 3D patterns work really well because they appear to the audience as if they're actually three dimensional. This is something that I think I would like to look into.

12. Yousuf Karsh
Yousuf's work is purely based on portraits. His work contains photographs which feature a variety of famous people including the late Martin Luther King and Audrey Hepburn. His portraits have one specific thing in common with one another - they have all been shot in a black and white effect to make they stand out and become more defined. The portraits feature different angles of the famous people including left and ride sided angles. Some of the shots contain props which include items like cigarettes and paint brushes. They are not particularly unusual but they're interesting portraits and therefore are appealing.

13. Francesco Scavullo
Francesco's work features both black and white and coloured shots but focus more on the black and white effect. The shot types that are present within her photographs include close-ups, mediums, medium longs and long shots. The models within her photographs feature both women and men but focus mostly on the women because of the beauty seen within them. The clothing that the models are wearing differ from each other. The majority of the clothing is casual but in some of the shots, the clothing is a little bit more raunchy. In a lot of the photographs, we can see that the model's hair has been designed specifically and have been messed up to create a 'different' feel.

14. David Bailey
David's work is very broad and contains portraits, landscape, travel, business and tourism etc. His portraits feature both male and female models. The majority of the portraits have been shot in the studio, whereas some have been shot on location to incorporate his landscape photographs. The studio portraits contain both colour and black and white shots. The portraits have no particular pattern or relation to one another but they work really well as individual portraits. Some of the positions/body language of the models is different and therefore relates to the chosen topic of 'unusual portraits'. The shots also feature different shot types including close-ups, mediums and medium long shots etc. I think that David's work is interesting and some of the portraits are a lot different to most.

15. Martin Munkácsi
Martin Munkácsi's work features a variety of different black and white shots as well as a few sepia. The majority of his portraits have been shot on location and feature different surroundings with beaches being one of the most frequently used locations. When looking at his photographs, we can see that there are certain shots that have a serious atmosphere compared to some of them that have a more uplifting and happy atmosphere - like the photograph pictured below. As well as being on location, we can see some shots that feature props including items such as rugby balls and umbrellas.

16. Man Ray
Man Ray's photography work consists of black and white shots. The shots contain a variety of different shot types including extreme close-ups, mediums and longs. The photographs have no relation to one another and therefore are individual. The photographs contain both female and male models but concentrate particularly on the women. The clothing within the photographs consist of little clothing as well as full covered clothing. His work is different and also contains photographs of his paintings - which he is also famous and known for. His work captures surreal visions and images that challenge the mind of the audience.

17. Yago Partal
Yago's work focuses purely on the use of placing an animal's head on a human body. The photograph uses a studio background to allow for the subject to stand out well. The preferred background that gets used for Yago's photographs is a light blue colour. The photographs include heads of a variety of different animals including a parrot, elephant, horse, panda, rhino and different types of bears etc. I think that Yago's work is really appealing and works well. Some of the photographs look quite realistic and create an unconventional atmosphere to them.

18. David Lachapelle
David's work is very different to a lot of famous photographers. His work is very colourful and features a variety of different scenes and settings that are unconventional and extremely contrasting to stereotypical photographs. Some of his photographs are not portraits but there are a lot of portraits that are present too. There is no specific link between the individual photographs and they're all very different to one another. This creates a broad range of ideas and opportunities that have been created into photographs. I think that his work is interesting and features both female and male models that pose using different body and hand movements.

19. Paolo Roversi
Paolo Roversi's work focuses mainly on portraits shots of both women and men - with women being the most commonly used models. His photographs contain both black and white shots and also feature a variety of different shot types including close-ups, medium and long shots. A lot of his photographs contain an element of fashion through the use of clothing - including dresses, hats and corsets. His photographs are different to existing photographer's work and therefore works really well.

20. Craig McDean
Craig's photography work is extremely varied and has a broad number of ideas that have been photographed. His work differs from styles like a 'rock' vibe to a 'fashionista' vibe etc. I like how different the photographs are from one another. When looking at some of his photographs, we can see some famous celebrities which are present within the shots - including Scarlett Johansson and Shalom Harlow. I like how some of the photographs are, as they create a 'dramatic' atmosphere to them.

21. Caesar Lima
Caesar's photography work focuses mainly on fashion and clothing - as seen on her website, in which she captures a variety of different shot types of purely women models. Although her work is mainly about fashion and making statements, she does have a section on her website that is captioned 'unusual portraits'. These portraits are very broad and do not have a specific subject that they are relate too. There are themes that have been copied between a couple of the photographs but the majority of them are independent and work best on their own.
