Openings
There are many photographers who have studied the style of photography have styled it in there own way some of them have colour in the image or a grainy black and white image which give give certain images a different effect sometimes making the image look better or stand out from the others but as you can see in the slide show of openings it is mainly based around windows and doors and sometimes foot tunnels but some of the photographers have tried to hide their openings in the images such as the girl with the red balloons the photographer dragan todorovic has put objects such as the panda and balloons into the image to try and make the window blend into the background and it almost feels as if he is trying to trick you into believing that the image is not an opening image
with the first set of images i didn't have a lot of inspiration and I didn't look into what i was taking images of just mainly doors and I didn't really think about my images and I just snapped away without taking my time and putting effort into the images.
In the second set of images i thought it would be better to look around at what there was outside like the nature like the squirrel and seagulls I thought I should of had a more outdoors feeling and see what I could do with it. In the final set it thought i should concentrate on space and colour to get a different vibe to the images I decided to use my imagination and just look at professional photographers images and then looked at mine and try to see what i could do with the images I thought I should look around like in the car park and the bike locks and when I did I saw different images I could take Born in Hamburg, Germany, son of a British father and German mother, Bill Brandt grew up during World War I, during which his father, who had lived in Germany since the age of five, was interned for six months by the Germans as a British citizen. Brandt later disowned his German heritage and would claim he was born in South London. Shortly after the war, he contracted tuberculosis and spent much of his youth in a sanatorium in Davos, Switzerland. He traveled to Vienna to undertake a course of treatment for tuberculosis by psychoanalysis. He was, in any case, pronounced cured and was taken under the wing of socialite Eugenie Schwarzwald. When Ezra Pound visited the Schwarzwald residence, Brandt made his portrait. In appreciation, Pound allegedly offered Brandt an introduction to Man Ray, whose Paris studio and darkroom Brandt would access in 1930
In this set of images i looked harder at what i could take pictures of and out of the three sets this is my favourite i love looking at these images the colour is so vibrant with the reds and oranges mixing the black and white and the focus of the iages
in the set of images to the right i decided to go round different part of the school i never really take notice of and objects i never really take notice of when i was out taking the images i took it from different angles and look at them then i deleted the angles i thought didnt work and kept instead of taking to many close ups i wanted to get a landscape styled photo
final piece |
In my first set of images from today I mainly looked for quick ideas and get a better understanding of what I could use in my images I wanted to get a outdoors feeling to the images and though I would of been able to find alot more than I did some of the images I like but others maybe should have not been as plain as they are but when taking these images I didn't know what to take pictures of, so thats why I have compared to my second set from today there was one image that I was proud of and found amusing which is when I was able to capture a squirrel sitting in the bin with the seagulls watching him as he was sitting there I thought it was quite a interesting to see and it was something that I don't really seen every day
Friedlander studied photography at the Art Center College of Design located in Pasadena, California. In 1956, he moved to New York City where he photographed jazz musicians for record covers. His early work was influenced by Eugène Atget, Robert Frank, and Walker Evans. In 1960, the Guggenheim Memorial Foundation awarded Friedlander a grant to focus on his art and made subsequent grants in 1962 and 1977. Some of his most famous photographs appeared in the September 1985 Playboy, black and white nude photographs of Madonna from the late 1970s. A student at the time, she was paid only $25 for her 1979 set. In 2009, one of the images fetched $37,500 at a Christie's Art House auction
Ralph Gibson born January 16, 1939 is an American art photographer best known for his photographic books. His images often incorporate fragments with erotic and mysterious undertones, building narrative meaning through contextualization and surreal juxtaposition. Gibson currently lives in New York and travels frequently to Europe and Brazil.
Gibson has maintained a lifelong fascination with books and book-making. Since the appearance in 1970 of the soman bulist, his work has been steadily impelled towards the printed page. In 1969 Gibson moved to New York, where he formed Lustrum Press in order to exert control over the reproduction of his work. Lustrum Press also published Larry Clark's Tulsa 1971. To date he has produced over 40 monographs, current projects being State of the Axe published by Yale University Press in Fall of 2008 and nude by Taschen 2009. His photographs are included in over one hundred and fifty museum collections around the world, and have appeared in hundreds of exhibitions. He has worked exclusively with the Leica for almost 50 years.Asked by the New York Times for his main sources of inspiration, Gibson recommended what he considered to be five seminal works: Eugene Atget's Vision of Paris, Walker Evans's American Photographs, Henri Cartier-Bresson's Decisive Moment, Robert Frank's Americans and Alexey Brodovitch's Ballet In these set of images taken around the school have changed and dont look as much as the others because this time there was the barriers sectioning of the grass and the hut and box's in the main reception which made it a bit more interesting i thought that i could base this set around colour i think they look really nice with all the orange and pinks and blues within the photos
these images to the left are my favourite set i dont know why thought it could be the fog and rain in the images that really stand out to me
The set of images that I have chosen for my final piece are a set that all have similarities but the one thing in common I noticed that they all had rectangles within them. I only noticed it when i was looking through all of my images i had taken them all at different times.
Image 4: This image is a really nice picture with the opening within an opening but its not just that i like about it, its the shadows of the branches around the window and the reflection of the tree in the window i think its quite nice how the shadows also create a smaller opening Image 7: Image 7 is almost like a reflective image with the two poles in the centre foreground of the image but on the other side in the background it has the two poles looking right back at the camera.Image 4 and image 7 are very similar since they both have an opening within an opening the reflection in the window in image 4 linking to the reflective aspect in image 7 and the smaller openings around the main object of the photo I think the way these images have been set out is a very interesting way of showing images instead of being in a line this person has decided to put them all together maybe to who was in their family like a family tree made up of the photos of their ancestors.putting my images together like this will give all the images a bigger vibrant effect and the colours of the images will clash together and make a bright colourful blob like form but you will still be able to see the images.The way Im going to put my images together I might start with the dark images and end with the light images to have a certain order to it but I could also mix the light and darks round to make the colours clash together but this time light with dark and maybe light with light and dark with dark but around the darks could be lights to make the image stand out even more.
