the last resort
the photo's from this collection cast a critical view on the tatty run down yet popular British holiday locations
there is something surreal about this scene, a terrible twos moment if ever i sore one.  
 

The camera i used for these shots was a Cannon 5D mark 2 with a Metz flash. The models name is Rochelle Olliphant who is one my piers. i liked the colour's that she was wherein this day, they are complementary, she has a style all of her own. I did a bit of editing on Capture One for these, but did very little to them as i didnt fell they need a lot doing to them.

some of parr's work looks set up and unnatural though actually its not
there's something that feels forced about this image, i'm probably taking
 the whole thing out of context
this image has a tension of its own, and i don't think i really need to point it out
to be honest

 Parr's work is very controversial and still has the ability to get people talking
weather you like it or no, there's something about his work
he goes against the traditional rules of photography, not adhering to them and in some case braking them.
his use of flash though is what i like, creating shadows with it. There's a very playful nature to his work, and there's a certain balance to his work. The objects in this image shouldn't work but they do, and represent what he's trying to represent.

you can tell allot about a person from there face, like this guy, Sir john cornforth, his sly and the twinkle in his eyes say's to me that he probable has a good sense of humor.
The photographer has chosen to to use a shallow depth of field focusing on his face, his suit falls out focus,

Evaluation

This project was a split/ duel project on landscapes and still life having 14 weeks on the project as a whole, with landscapes being ten weeks and still life four. We started with still life and I didn’t have a clue what to expect, so I went into the project with a clear mind and didn’t think much about it to begin with. But after spend three or four hours in the studio trying to get the light right, which i found that to be biggest challenge of these project.  So I ended up spending more and more time in the studio lighting different objects in different ways I finally ran out of time to practice and had to do the shoot, it all seemed to come together on that day, the natural light was terrible. I had practiced for that and quickly set up the studio lights and looking back that was the right decision and I am really happy with my final print. There was also the fact that we were using to completely different formats and the challenges that I would be facing with each would be different, the first was digital, now I’m not a big fan of digital preferring film, but I handled the Cannon d5 quite aptly my. The 5’ 4’ camera I had never used before and the experience was eye opening, I really enjoyed the experience and will definitely be using it again. There are benefits with both formats, with film being that you can take a lot of photo quite quickly but printing multiple c-types can be quite expensive, were as film especially large format gives you extraordinary detail if taken correctly, but get it wrong and you can easily waste money taking multiple photo. The landscapes part of the project was my favorite I really enjoyed the experience of using the large format camera but I a made a few mistakes the main one being the I double exposed one my negatives.
