* Perou's style is very individual and his photos have a certain look to them. Most of Perou's portrait photos have a plain background and additional lighting. All of his photos tell a story and some of them are quite strange and make you wonder why the person is doing what they are doing and why Perou presented them like that.
* Perou's Technique is very particular for his portrait photos, most of them are taken in a studio with blank or clashing background to what the person is wearing. I think that all of his photos have been edited using photoshop or another editing program. If the photograph is taken somewhere out of the studio the background reflects the idea of the photo or is edited to give the photo a certain look.
*Perou tells the viewer a story behind almost every photo, he engages the viewer in his photos by complicating the story behind it and making the viewer really think about what he is trying to get across. He shows the narrative of his photos by varying the backgrounds he uses, through the expression on the models face and their body language.
*The photos i looked at by Perou are ones that he took recently, in the last 5 years. They were taken when he is famous and well know for what he is doing. I think that he has gotten popular at what he is doing and he has had a lot of time to get good at it and to practice and experiment with what sort of style photographs he wants to take.

Opinion Of Perou
I think that Perou is a great arist that has come a very long way in his career. He does a lot of different types of photos and when he does commercial photgraphy he expresses the artists from a different/ unusal angle or very positively and he makes sure that the artist is the main focus of the photo. When he shoots things of his own he has a great and individual taste. He definately knows how to take an amazing photo and you can tell what composition rules he uses and how he uses them. I think that his ideas are sort of influenced by his earlier work as a fetish photographer. Overall I love his work and how quite alot of his photos tell a story to the viewer and he's just great.

A Range Of Photos By Perou
This is a range of photos by perou. I chose these images because they are quite simple photos and he focuses on one specific object or person with a simple background. He uses interesting lighting which makes the object stand out or he takes the photo straight on so the corners of the picture are grey-ish and the area around the person is white. He obviously uses the rule of thirds in the top right one and the people are on the point and the glass top is above the top line. He uses good lighting on the top left one and theres a lot of different shades of black, white and grey.

Focal Point
Focal point is the exact point at which the camera is focused at maximum sharpness. When looking into the viewfinder it is usually marked in the center with either a circle or a set of brackets. It is also the point at which the eye of the viewer looking at the photo should travel to first. It is what the photographer wants the viewer to look at and understand. It is not necessary to place the focal point dead center of the composition, nor is it desirable at all times. According to http://photoinf.com/General/Wendy_Folse/Composition_Part_III_Perspective_Focal_Point_Cropping.htm , this website also talks about the perspective.
In this photo, the focal point is the plant as it is the thing that stands out the most and also the background of the picture is dry sand and there are usually no plants on deserts but here there is which makes the viewer look at it straight away.
Some times photographers decide to make the focal point sharp and the rest of the picture blury and out of focus to make the focal point more obvious like here.
Here the focal point is the couple, as what it seems the background but as the rest of the picture is out of focus it makes them the focal point and the thing that the viewer looks at first. The focal point does not always have to be in the middle, because if it was all photos would look the same, plain and boring. It also does not have to be in the front of the photo but if it is further away it would be good to make the rest of the picture out of focus so then it it obvious that it is the focal point, ^ perfect example^.
Also i think that it's important that photographs should not be cluttered as that takes out the focal point and the viewer would not be able to recognize what is the focal point. I think that there should not be more than 1 main focal point as it take out the dramatics of the photo.

Composition
According to http://www.advancingwomen.com/photography/49826.php composition is defined as the combining of distinct parts or elements to form a whole. This site also tells you all about what composition is all about but i find http://www.photographymad.com/pages/view/10-top-photography-composition-rules much easier to understand as it has images to show what it really means and it uses simple language so everyone can understand it and it also contains links to other sites that are related to this subject.
In this photo Perou uses dark colours on the background and light colours on the person to make them stand out. Also at the background there is a splodge of paint that makes it look like it's her hair when its not, which is a good and interesting effect. He uses different textures like the navy metal on the side and the concrete for the background and floor which creates a cold and rough atmosphere. There are lines on the metal on the background concrete and curved lines on the bodysuit, also the area which this photo was took in is a square, all of this creates a very sharp effect.
http://www.slideshare.net/hweeling/basic-photography-lesson this helps me have a better understanding of composition and the examples are good and give me ideas of what i could do with my own work or how to improve it.
