I always find it interesting that every image is just a new take on another, and today when Matt saw the images I had looked at from Agnes Lloyd Platt's collaboration with Glasshouse Salon, he told me to look into Elad Lassry. Elad Lassry is an artist who works with a variety of media, creating or rediscovering images from a variety of sources...
Sirkka- Liisa Konttinen is a Finnish photographer who has worked in England since the 1960's. From 1969 Konttinen lived in Byker, Newcastle, where she spent over a decade documenting the area and its residents in the face of redevelopment. (All I can think of is Ant and Dec in Byker Grove which was based on the same area of Newcastle, despite not being...
Today I made my hardback book cover. I took inspiration from the book which my friend on illustration course made, and referred to a step by step guide I found here. As I had already binded my book I just needed to attach the signature to the cover. I did this by glueing a strip of fabric using a hot glue gun, glueing...
During my one to one with Richard we spoke about whether my photographs for my narrative were staged or not, and what it means for them to be staged or authentic. The definition of authentic is something which is real and genuine, not copied or false. Within my twelve images included in my narrative photobook, three were completely staged and styled, as I...
Today I printed my mock book. It was far more stressful than I had first anticipated, however I am very glad that I didn't give up and persisted and got there in the end. My first problem was that my first printed booklet was that I didn't have my indesign file packaged with my images which I included in my file, which meant...
When making my photobook I had to make lots of creative decisions involving sequencing, type, captions and layout: I knew I wanted to include type under my images, so I wrote out the captions and scanned them in as I felt using my own handwriting added a personal touch. The placement of this was either directly under the image, in a more polaroid,...
I chose to hand write any type in my book as it has a more personal feel to it, it took me many attempts to get my writing in a way and size which I was happy with. ...
I plan to make a hardback book, with a plain outside cover, and the inside cover which is necessary to keep the book together, will be a collage in the style of Mario Sorrenti's Draw Blood for Proof. I chose to collage together digitally rather than on a wall and photograph it the way Sorrenti did as I had done a similar thing...
Today I experimented with a another shoot using a colour background. I had the plan for this shoot in my head a while and had bought the ice-cream needed a while back, but my set up required a bright day as my only source of light I wanted to be natural, so the shoot was a spontaneous one yesterday when the sun came...
