Robert Mapplethorpe is famous for his unique, breathtaking portraits. They are all in black and white, giving off a cool and calm atmosphere. Facial expressions are a big deal in his work as we can see in the pictures above; all of them have a different expression. This makes each picture different and interesting. Mapplethorpe uses lighting in such a way that the facial features are exaggerated in order to bring his work to life. Form is also one of the main elements found in his pictures and this brings a 3-dimensional feel to his photographs.
