Reading List - Dominic Rouse

-Contemporary digital photographer from England.
-He creates digital monochrome compositions.
-His images deconstruct and reconstruct the human form.



I'm a huge fan of magical, fairytale style photography because it allows us to feel like we're entering a new world, well it makes me feel that way anyway. I've always had an interest in this genre, I grew up watching films like The 10th Kingdom, The Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe and Labrynth, these are my favourite films. As soon as I saw Rouse's work it reminded me of the film Labrynth because of the strange looking characters and detailed backgrounds in the images. The monotone element of these images add to the fairytale vibe because the detail plays a big part in reminding me of fairytales and the monotones allow focus to be held on that detail. I like this work and will be experimenting with digtial monotone compositions myself in the future.
