Harry Anderson's Photo Reference. When Harry Anderson (1906-1996) set out to illustrate images from his 7th Day Adventist religious faith, he turned to photo reference to give him added realism.
Here are the photos next to the finished paintings. It's interesting to compare the changes he made as he went from the reference to the painting. Here, Jesus is lowered from heaven to outreached human hands. The painting invents the sweep of the garment, and the warm reflected light from the back of the figure to the encircling white fabric. This is one of Anderson's most famous religious paintings. Norman Rockwell didn't shoot reference this way, and would instead generally pose models separately and would set up walking poses somewhat artificially.
The potential pitfall of shooting photo reference, especially for religious paintings, is that one can get caught up in the commonplace and random details of the photo and lose sight of the mental image of the scene.

Il a illustre un ouvrage du 1er siècle de notre ère, réédité à la renaissance, avec son dessin célèbre dessin “Etude des proportions du corps humain selon Vitruve” vitruve-iii_1-a.1265004846.pdf Pour lui, le corps humain peut être perfection, puisqu’il s’inscrit dans des formes géométriques parfaites, le carré et le cercle. Le corps est proportionné. Ses proportions correspondent à une moyenne générale. On utilise généralement un canon à 7 têtes. Mais pour des hommes de grande taille les proportions du corps vont jusqu’à 8 têtes et pour la femme, seulement de 6 à 6 ½ têtes. Good Reference Gallery - Freshdesigner.com.

Mais je trouve qu’il y a bien d’autres sources d’inspirations pour nous, photographe en herbe: la peinture ou le cinéma par exemple, par extension à tout type d’art.

Arkhip Ivanovich Kuindzhi was a highly regarded Russian (Ukrainian) landscape painter and a member of the amazing group of Russian painters known as the Peredvizhniki (“Itinerants” or “Wanderers”, see my related posts).
Kuindzhi was noted for his unorthodox compositions and daring experiments with lighting effects, perhaps partly stemming from his limited formal training. He grew up in a poor family, son of a Greek shoemaker, and lost his parents at an early age. He was largely self-taught, though he eventually attended the St. Petersburg Academy of Arts for a time. During his early years he was influenced by the Russian (Crimean) landscape artist Ivan Aivazovsky. Kuindzhi’s compositions play with extreme positioning of the horizon, large, almost empty spaces, striking contrasts of light and dark, and experiments with brushwork and the application of color. He sometimes revisited the same or similar scenes, altering the light and handling of color in subsequent compositions. Good Reference Gallery.
