Photoshoot 1






Above are some early photographs i have taken. I wanted to produce some images which showed someone who was tattooed up front with no shying away. I wanted to almost force the viewer to look at a person which may be ruled off by society and a person who may have a negative stigma associated with them. 

technically i don't think these photographs are the best but i have tried to experiment with a snapshot style similar to that of Nan Golding. The images are framed naturally with no big amounts of zooming and the images are slightly blurry to give the effect of movement and a fast paced lifestyle. personally i prefer the coloured shots over the black and white, as i feel the contrast between the colours is powerful and intriguing where as i feel the black and white are a little washed out.   

I'm going to continue with these shoots and try to photograph as many subjects as possible to try and get a wide range of people/fashion and styles. 

Below are some photographs of the subject but with rich colour tones which i am increasingly trying to experiment with.

For example, primarily and obviously, Western/Eastern , the latter term of this opposition englobing the marks of a radical 'otherness'; or again, the placing of the two men within the implied opposition capital/labour . Nevertheless, even in the presence of such obviousness another obviousness asserts itself — the ve...

Lecture 2

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...
