Style
Jenny Van Sommers Style is mostly the work of art which is still life. Her photographs are popular and unique with her using strange mostly geometric shapes to give her tantalizing subjects a surreal twist.
Her style is very simple with not that much going on which can give the photograph a very modern feel and fascinate them into the object and the reasons behind it.
When using a light box or other tools that she uses to take pictures of objects, she would have different lighting for each one. Some different colours and some to make a shadow, this can either make it easier to understand the reasons behind it or make the object look even more fantastic.

Analysis
After looking at Jenny Van Sommers different designs I can now see the common trends and how she does her photography and how is differs to anyone else in the art style of still life.
Each photograph she does which isn't an advertisement has a deeper meaning, an example of this is the photograph which she labelled VOGUE where she makes a face out of pills and glasses. Each Photograph can be interpreted however it effects yourself but my interpretation of VOGUE is that its showing how people need and are controlled by drugs and other things which make us less and less human and not just naturally healthy. It could also mean these drugs helps us keep our selfs together and builds us up as people and without it, we would be nothing.

Personal Opinion
My opinion on Jenny Van Sommers photography is that its admirable,excellent and wonderful to look at. Her use of colour and lighting really makes the photographs look even better, and with every photograph having a deeper meaning it make make it even more interesting and great to look at.
If I where to change one thing for her photography it would be that the objects used are always very polished and cleaned to perfection, when some objects might look more amusing when a bit eroded or stained to give it some more detail and more for people to observe.
