Daniel Stier

 Daniel Stier is a german photographer who now takes most of his photographs in new york and london he said the industry here is just completely different there isn't anything like it in germany. he does his images in series, if he likes on image he cant just leave it as one image he has to create other images to go in the sequence, to make it into a story. he does a lot of work for people this is where he gets told what they want and then he has to try and make something good out of what they need. He said this is hard sometimes because he is given a rubbish place to take photograph's and he has to think quickly because the more famous the person the less time he has with them. He has been given a hotel room with 10 minutes and he said it was really hard to take good images in such a dull place, but he mainly tried to find the nearest white wall to have them in front of. 

He has done a series of images called any two for five, i like this series of his images because he had in some cases put completely different things together in an image such as washing powder with a raw chicken drumstick, i think this makes the images more interesting because anyone can get objects and put them together that could be found in a offer such as two for five. these images are simple but effective. 

i also like his portrait work because he has taken photo's of lots of famous people and made good images out of not so good places, such as there is a photo of amy winehouse and she is just leaning on a chair in a hotel looking room, and when he showed us this image he said it suits the person because she comes across as not a classy high rated woman and the image shows this because the place does look very nice.  i think he does really good portrait images because he gets a series of the people such as his series of images of Roberto Cavalli he has got a lot of images of him in all different out fits and this really shows the character of Roberto because he is well known for his fashion obsession 

i like what Daniel Stier said "i don't do talks, thats why i take photographs." i think this relates to me because i like to show what i thinking and what i like in my images rather than talking about it.
