Task 2 - Responding

For this task we had to produce a few images that responded to the observations we made from our last lecture. We had to try and emulate the work we looked at and get inspired by the photographers from the Golden Age of photography. Below are some of my favourite photographs from which i have drawn inspiration from for this task:










below are a couple of my photographs which i produced with the golden age of photography in mind: 







Throughout these images i was trying to capture different things. Some were trying to portray a slice of life where as others i was aiming to show a sense of shape and form. 

I decided to try and take some more photos but this time in the style of Kurt Hutton. Hutton's work often used a sense of humility and comedy and often using animals. Below are some examples of his work which inspired me for this second shoot: 



Below are my photos from the shoot:

Nevertheless, even in the presence of such obviousness another obviousness asserts itself — the ve...

l ast week we talked about how we can define documentary photography and all the different sub categories can fall under the branch of documentary photography. This week  we  looked into the 'roots of modern photography'. We l ooked at the roots of documentary photography so that our understanding of todays practice is rooted in an informed and critical appreciation of the past and how it worked. Through this lecture it helped inform us as we became  visually literate as we understood the language and the origins of documentary photography.  By studying the 'classics' of photography it helped us to understand where we are now in terms of the equipment available and the way the cameras have developed and work. It has also inspired me within my photography to go back to basics and try and shoot on film as i feel it will test my photography skills and improve me as a photographer.  The time period in  which we looked at was from 1930-1950. This time pe...
