Patience (after sebald)



Decided to do a bit of research during the christmas break, and well i actual watched this film, Patience (after sebald), before the break and i found it very hard to stop watching. Even though the book The Rings of Saturn wasn't about photography, it gave me idea's i wouldn't mind trying. The book it self wasn't in anyway easy to read, it kind of forced you to read and view the images in the book multiple times and sometimes i wouldn't understand whole sections until i read further,  but the film helps understand the book and puts into context. The narrators melancholy reflects that of the book perfectly and the symmetry there doesn't go unnoticed.

MOONBUG

About Steve Pyke and his journey across america to photograph astronauts and people who have walked on the moon.
given this to watch and all i was told was that it was about steve pyke, i found it to be Informative and compelling, helps to think about my style and developing my style by watch him.

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

Martin Parr
the last resort

 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.  

sir John Cornforth
by Nick Sinclair
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,
