Robert Maplethorpe's work focusses heavily on portraiture and his compositions are extremely effective, he always manages to fill the frame effectively. Also the majority of his work is created in black and white and is very tonal. Also many, if not all, of his work is very simplistic and he uses very plain light or dark backgrounds to allow the figures to stand out. His work are very iconic as they explore the society in which he spent his childhood in.
