MARIA. Marjolaine Ryley research. (TASK 2) Lo-fi zine assignment.

Marjolaine Ryley did one project called "Villa mona- A proper kind of house" where she photographed objects in her home, people in her family and times within her family life.







I really love Ryley's style as she choose to take really interesting and unique shots of her family life. I partially like how she chose in one shot to take it from an angle that cuts out the heads of the people in the foreground with the table top I find it quite humorous and it makes me think about how and why she decided to take the photo like that and what came into her mind to think of it. Also I really like how she's captured a sense of warmth in most of her photos in this project, she's used colour and lighting in a way that make the viewer feel comfortable and warm just by looking at the image.

MARIA. Julian Germain research. (TASK 2)Lo-fi zine assignment.

Julian Germain do one particular project called "For every minute you are entry you lose sixty seconds of happiness." where he spent 8 years with an old man of the name of Charles Snelling. His photographs are all focused around the idea of how you should live life in the happiest ways possible rather then focus on all the bad things happening because you'll be missing out on so much.
he spent eight years getting to know and caring for this man and admiring his passion for life and happiness. He took all the photos on a film camera.






I really love this project by Germain. I think it's really sweet and gives a great message. All the photos he took capture this old man life beautifully and I love his use of colour and lighting on the image where the old man is holding up the two flowers, I love the warmth of the image and he happiness it gives the impression of. The image above as well I love because the weather around the old man is dull and dreary but the old man expression fills the picture with light and really makes an impact about the photo, to me it gives the message that no matter how bad life gets, theres always something good you can focus on and smile about.

TOM. Task 3. My Werner Bischof style recreation.

For the recreation of Werner Bischof I will be trying to recreate his style of black and white photography. I will be recreating these images:


I will be trying to capture images as close to the content in the images as I can get, in Black and white, I will have to make the images more exposed as the above images are a softer form of black and white.

My Recreations;



TOM. Task 3. My Brent Stirton style Recreation.

For my recreation of Brent Stirton I will be recreating these images:


The content of the images will be different in my recreations but I shall use his technique to photograph them which is: under exposing the image which will make the skys colours rich and detailed, then I'll use the flash to light up the subject.

I shall be using bold colour, wide angles, leading lines for the images.

My Recreations;
