Jon Measures developed his own approach to making mixed media artwork. This involved combining multiple views of Los Angeles and other urban areas through cutting and chopping different characteristic of the city’s rich fabric together. The images are digitally edited photographs. The Paint is used to stylize as well as emphasize certain aspects of the photographic materials, to add texture, layering and colour. This is known as hybrid between painting, photography, digital art and collage and echoes the layering of history that takes place in cities.

Stephen left school with a photographic career already certain in his mind. Following college, he started assisting ‘up North’ before moving to London in 1998. Lenthall specialises in studio-based still life photography. This means he attracts a variety of clients from editorial to commercial as well as advertising. Enjoying the pace and choreography of still photography, Lenthall is able to bring simple, graphically observed object to life in an imaginative way.

Examining Lenthall’s and Measures work, a visual difference can be noted. He uses different shades of black creates a deeper personality of a building composed of basic shape structure. Using layering to construct a building, it allows you to focus on different infrastructures that create surrounding environment.

Although both images differ, they portray similar perspective on buildings. From analysing the art work it is possible to tell that the artists are keen on exploring the aspects of environment that focus on structure, infrastructures as well as scars of human development.
