Leonard Nimoy


 Leonard Nimoy is a photogrpaher who takes images of different people in different categories,   
He first experienced making photographic images as a teenager in the early 1940s. His darkroom was the family bathroom in their small Boston apartment. 
      His subjects were family and friends. He studied at UCLA under Robert Heineken in the early 1970s and later received an “artist in residence” appointment at the american academy in Rome.
Mr Nimoy’s photography is included  in many museum collections, including The Museum of Fine Arts, and Houston.



EA:  I think in Leonards image he is trying to show desperation, every image that he has he tries to reach out to the viewer and it makes you want to know more or if somethings going on.

I am hoping to use these images and use them in my photo shoot, to be fair I had used these images in my shoot without realising that this artists had the same images as well; this was a nice surprise.



My image is similar to this, the only difference is that I have the models face in the shot as well. 
I think that this is effective because half of the image of his face is covered in shade and the other half is not at the same time.

The second image on the right hand side is similar as well and I have got my own model to stretch his arms to place his hands on his feet.
 So I am doing similar work to the researchers but I am progressing the image at the same time.
