Perou
Perou is 43, born In Newick. He is a British fashion, portrait and music photographer who has appeared in make me a supermodel in the UK and US and dirty sexy things. He studied at the university of Westminster and in 1994, Perou met many famous photographers, and began his first line of work with magazine companies such as dazed and confused and skin two.
His style: I think that perou mainly captures portraits as this is his strong area. He uses celebrities in many of his photographs to portray individual messages, and this also draws in an audience if celebrities are promoting or representing what's in the image. Perou also carries out long running collaboration's such as his work with Marilyn Manson. His photography skills aren't basic as he covers many different image ranges, rather than just focusing on one particular group of creations. Perou's area of work consists of:
- 'music'
- 'commissions'
- 'fashion'
- 'Personal'
- 'Projects'
- 'The other side'

Vee speers
Vee Speers is 51 and an Australian photographer that lives in Paris. She has featured in images magazine, The Brtish journal of photography and the Sunday times(UK). She is probably most known for her work in ' The birthday party' and 'Parisians'. Unlike Perou, Vee Speers shows focus and interest in expressing a detailed message behind her images. For example ' The birthday party' shows a modern society of how children are growing and trying to mature before their age. Although Perou, in different ways to Vee Speers, shows great skills, we can tell that Vee Speers is all about showing depth of creativity in the art of her photographs. I am personally very interested in Vee Speers' line of photography because many of the pictures mesmerize me. Especially with the birthday party and 'Thirteen', the images are carefully displayed and show the focal point clearly- this is because it's the same neutral backdrop, and the child is the main subject of the photo. It draws me in as the child seems mystifying and shows timeless elegance. Vee Speers freezes her model's postures, slightly making them look like lost guests at a fancy dress party, or like ghosts. The costumes are contrasted with various elements that make you feel curious, sometimes happy and other times sad. And because of all these series' of shots are taken at eye level, this makes the viewer be engaged emotionally. The military props in some of the photographs refer to cold hard reality of how child soldiers exist around the world. These images are captured using toy props modelled by young boys. The girls are captured just as impressively- they stand there like stiff wax figures, yet there is still something deeply disturbing about them. I personally think that Vee Speers reflects the mood's of her images perfectly.
Vee Speers' area's of work:
