i really like Davids work as he does a series of images that could suit everyone so he likes to pleases his fans, i particularly like his image of kate moss then using oil pastels he painted her face. it gave me the idea of pop art which is what Andy Warhol did with his Marylin Monroe image. I also like his studio work with the self portraits and he just wanted to give the effect of the photographer and model.

Here are some images of David's work

with this image i really like the black and white effect, i also like the black background aswell  i think that it works really well, i also like the pose this could be an idea for my future assignments.

i really like this image as i find it unusual and i really like the gold metallic lips i think this gives of an interesting effect.
