How do my images fit into the theme of Observe, Seek and challenge?
From research and exploring I found Bill Brandt’s work of body parts in an abstract way interesting. I thought that incorporating his work into this theme would work with ‘Observe’. I decided to take the idea of observing the body from photographing body parts but to make it interesting I went down to beaches which had pebbles. By having more of a landscape rather than just a white background creates more contrast and allows for more shadows. I also decided to change all of my images into black and white to make sure they all flow in a nice way to create a story. My first shoot was more inspired by Bill Brandt with images which are more simple whereas my second shoot is more inspired by Barbra Kruger with more emotion behind them. By ‘observing’ the body I ensured all the images are close up and capture every detail, for example the hands you can see all the small details. To present my images I will make a series of foam boards with my best images, I will also be making a photobook which will display all of my best final images from my shoots.
