The <strong>smartphone<\/strong> has meant that nearly everyone is now capable of <strong>capturing both significant and insignificant moments<\/strong>. This culminates in the <strong>origin of multiple truths<\/strong>, as different viewpoints all show slightly different variations of events. <strong>Social media as a communication tool<\/strong> can

The book&nbsp;is divided into two chronological and geographical sections: the first spans the years 1932 to 1947 and is made up of photographs taken in the west; the second spans 1947 to 1952 and was shot mostly in the east.

It is that feeling that always leads me through the work. Sometimes I&#8217;m not quite sure why I have made work until years afterwards but then that is just a different way of working [&#8230;] I wanted to make work that wasn&#8217;t trying to campaign for a particular issue, work that was not purporting to be the truth [&#8230;] There is no doubt that the twentieth century photographically has been the century of the reportage image and Cartier-Bresson is undoubtedly the greatest reportage photographer of our time. Yet his idea of the decisive moment, in which you have one chance to capture an image and either you get it or you miss it, seems dated. We live in &nbsp;post-modern age where non-moments have become as relevant as moments. Everything has validity and yet this idea of the decisive moment is still given credence within photographic circles. What I am trying to do is address this preconception and say that every and any moment works. You can take a picture of anything and it still holds resonance [&#8230;] There are no guidelines. Everything is open and everything is possible&#8230;<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>Waplington&#8217;s work is famously diverse and appears to have no signature style or subject matter. He is a painter and he collaborates with other creative practitioners, such as the fashion designer Alexander McQueen. He claims to be &#8220;interested in everything.&#8221; He does not describe himself as a photographer but as an artist. His work is predominantly photographic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>My position as photographer and artist has always been about trying to make pictures that ask questions as opposed to pictures that draw conclusions.

This technique allowed him to weave together distinct snapshots into a unified image that challenges and expands the viewer&#8217;s perception. By adopting Cubist principles, Hockney\u2019s joiners break the constraints of space, offering a dynamic and enriched representation of scenes that revisit Cubism\u2019s holistic approach to its subjects.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\"

Interested in places which reference particular historical moments or which have adopted an iconic stature, she transforms rooms which look upon her pending subjects into cameras, often inhabiting them during the length of each exposure.&nbsp; Her images often reference movement over the hours or sometimes weeks of each exposure\u2019s duration; in so doing she speaks to the transitory nature of the built environment itself.&nbsp; The photographs display the microcosms of sites that are built and become altered over a course of time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Lutter considers the original transcription of each place, which is created within the camera obscura, as its ultimate representation.&nbsp; She chooses this, rather than using the rendered negative as an intermediate to an ultimate positive.&nbsp; Her only amendment is to right each image, flipping it from its original, inverted recording.&nbsp; The images give a visceral sense of what it is to see the way a camera does.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"449\" src=\"https:\/\/exam.hautlieucreative.co.uk\/photo26exam\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2026\/02\/PEPSI.jpg.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-507\" srcset=\"https:\/\/exam.hautlieucreative.co.uk\/photo26exam\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2026\/02\/PEPSI.jpg.webp 1024w, https:\/\/exam.hautlieucreative.co.uk\/photo26exam\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2026\/02\/PEPSI.jpg-300x132.webp 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Vera Lutter<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"763\" src=\"https:\/\/exam.hautlieucreative.co.uk\/photo26exam\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2026\/02\/TR17622_0-1024x763.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-489\" srcset=\"https:\/\/exam.hautlieucreative.co.uk\/photo26exam\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2026\/02\/TR17622_0-1024x763.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/exam.hautlieucreative.co.uk\/photo26exam\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2026\/02\/TR17622_0-300x224.jpg 300w, https:\/\/exam.hautlieucreative.co.uk\/photo26exam\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2026\/02\/TR17622_0.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"532\" src=\"https:\/\/exam.hautlieucreative.co.uk\/photo26exam\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2026\/02\/vera-lutter-1024x532.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-508\" srcset=\"https:\/\/exam.hautlieucreative.co.uk\/photo26exam\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2026\/02\/vera-lutter-1024x532.png 1024w, https:\/\/exam.hautlieucreative.co.uk\/photo26exam\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2026\/02\/vera-lutter-300x156.png 300w, https:\/\/exam.hautlieucreative.co.uk\/photo26exam\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2026\/02\/vera-lutter-1536x798.png 1536w, https:\/\/exam.hautlieucreative.co.uk\/photo26exam\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2026\/02\/vera-lutter-1920x997.png 1920w, https:\/\/exam.hautlieucreative.co.uk\/photo26exam\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2026\/02\/vera-lutter.png 2000w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Vera Lutter<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p><strong>Martine Marie-Anne Chartrand<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>For me art is a process of discovery, expression, understanding and the healing of human emotions. I have the need to assemble, cut paper, arrange objects to better represent my thoughts. I do so, because like life, not everything is black or white, there are often many nuances of grey and I represent this by the manipulation of images.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When I am not using my camera, I will be cutting paper. My collage work offers me the opportunity of complete liberties. These works happen spontaneously in different manners. To honor these reflections and thoughts, I associate no defined subject matter and it is an ongoing singular process with an open ended body of work. It is more like a collage diary, I like to call \u201cDr\u00f4le de m\u00e9nagerie\u201d. It is where science meets religion, where animals meld into humans and are put in situations that humans put themselves and vice versa. It is where news meets fiction and the absurd collides with reality. It is also where I protest. All of the above mentioned becomes a visual cacophony, which resembles how it sometimes feels to live in the 21st century.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"700\" height=\"525\" src=\"https:\/\/exam.hautlieucreative.co.uk\/photo26exam\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2026\/02\/martine-marie-anne-chartrand-et-les-clochettes.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-493\" srcset=\"https:\/\/exam.hautlieucreative.co.uk\/photo26exam\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2026\/02\/martine-marie-anne-chartrand-et-les-clochettes.jpg 700w, https:\/\/exam.hautlieucreative.co.uk\/photo26exam\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2026\/02\/martine-marie-anne-chartrand-et-les-clochettes-300x225.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Martine Marie-Anne Chartrand<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-4 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"700\" height=\"906\" data-id=\"491\" src=\"https:\/\/exam.hautlieucreative.co.uk\/photo26exam\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2026\/02\/martine-marie-anne-chartrand-creation.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-491\" srcset=\"https:\/\/exam.hautlieucreative.co.uk\/photo26exam\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2026\/02\/martine-marie-anne-chartrand-creation.jpg 700w, https:\/\/exam.hautlieucreative.co.uk\/photo26exam\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2026\/02\/martine-marie-anne-chartrand-creation-232x300.jpg 232w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"664\" height=\"1024\" data-id=\"492\" src=\"https:\/\/exam.hautlieucreative.co.uk\/photo26exam\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2026\/02\/martine-marie-anne-chartrand-bathing-in-la-belle-province-664x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-492\" srcset=\"https:\/\/exam.hautlieucreative.co.uk\/photo26exam\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2026\/02\/martine-marie-anne-chartrand-bathing-in-la-belle-province-664x1024.jpg 664w, https:\/\/exam.hautlieucreative.co.uk\/photo26exam\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2026\/02\/martine-marie-anne-chartrand-bathing-in-la-belle-province-194x300.jpg 194w, https:\/\/exam.hautlieucreative.co.uk\/photo26exam\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2026\/02\/martine-marie-anne-chartrand-bathing-in-la-belle-province.jpg 700w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 664px) 100vw, 664px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"700\" height=\"521\" src=\"https:\/\/exam.hautlieucreative.co.uk\/photo26exam\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2026\/02\/martine-marie-anne-chartrand-variation-sun-and-moon.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-494\" srcset=\"https:\/\/exam.hautlieucreative.co.uk\/photo26exam\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2026\/02\/martine-marie-anne-chartrand-variation-sun-and-moon.jpg 700w, https:\/\/exam.hautlieucreative.co.uk\/photo26exam\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2026\/02\/martine-marie-anne-chartrand-variation-sun-and-moon-300x223.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Martine Marie-Anne Chartrand<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p><strong>Ingrid Budge<\/strong>: from Orkney in Scotland, discovered alternative processes in the 80\u2019s and is now working in lumen, cyanotype, wet-plate, chemigrams, pinholes and more.

Using the square format can reinvent existing photographs as its natural balance means there is <strong>no distinction between the portrait and the landscape<\/strong>.

the square format <\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Here are two photo-books shot using a square format<\/em>.<br><br><strong>William Eggelston: 2 1\/4<\/strong> <br>Earthy marigold hues on a wall of corrugated iron encompass the centre of William Eggleston\u2019s frame, its uniform surface completely obscuring any prospect of a traditional pictorial horizon. In the centre sits a creamy yellow coup\u00e9, its matte finish blending perfectly with the wall behind. Tranquil and serene, this unstirring moment of quiet urbanity broadly sums up the tone found across William Eggleston\u2019s&nbsp;<em>2 \u00bc<\/em>&nbsp;series.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Taken in the year following his seminal show&nbsp;<em>Color Photography by William Eggleston<\/em>&nbsp;at The Museum of Modern Art, New York in 1976,&nbsp;<em>2 \u00bc<\/em>&nbsp;is a body of work which falls slightly outside of William Eggleston\u2019s usual oeuvre. Showing now for the first time at London\u2019s David Zwirner Gallery these works offer an intimate take on small town 70s\u2019 America. Relinquishing his usual 35mm rangefinder and instead opting to shoot with the slower medium format, the photographs appear unusually staid. Eggleston\u2019s strength lies in the fictionalising of his immediate surroundings and he has the unique ability to see things beyond how they first appear. In this series there is a particularly striking sense of quietness as the photographer\u2019s itinerant gaze wanders from a boarded-up caf\u00e9 to an empty parking lot. Composing his frame intuitively, he is the master of finding beauty in scenes of such ordinariness. Each photograph appears not as a Cartier-Bresson-esque moment of precise timing but rather more painterly, as though he had waited there for hours.

href=\"https:\/\/steidl.de\/Artists\/David-Goldblatt-0526294661.html\">David Goldblatt<\/a>, for a very short and intense period of time, naturally turned to focusing on peoples\u2019 particulars and individual body languages \u201cas affirmations or embodiments of their selves.\u201d Goldblatt\u2019s affinity was no accident: Working at his father\u2019s men\u2019s outfitting store in the 1950s, his awareness of posture, gesture and proportion\u2014technical as it was\u2014formed early and would accompany him throughout his life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In this series using a square format we see hands resting on laps, crossed legs, the curved backs of sleepers on a lawn at midday, their fingers and feet relaxed, pausing from their usual occupations. This deeply contemplative work is framed by Ingrid de Kok\u2019s poetry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-20 is-layout-flex

class=\"wp-block-heading\">Polaroids and instant cameras<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>The Polaroid process revolutionized photography in the 1960s. Those who have used Polaroid cameras often recall the distinctive smell of the developing emulsion and the magic of watching an image materialize instantly. Depending on the camera model, some prints developed automatically, while others required the application of a chemical coating to fix the image. In this sense, Polaroids can be seen as a precursor to today\u2019s digital photography \u2013 not in technical terms, but because of their immediate accessibility.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Polaroids are generally regarded as unique prints.

The virtues of this camera, introduced in 1972, perfectly fit Evans&#8217;s search for a concise yet poetic vision of his world: its instant prints were for the infirm seventy-year-old photographer what scissors and cut paper were for the aging Matisse. The unique SX-70 prints are the artist&#8217;s last photographs, the culmination of half a century of work in photography. With this new camera, Evans returned to some of his key motifs -signs, posters, and their ultimate reduction, the letter itself. &#8220;Nobody should touch a Polaroid until he&#8217;s over sixty,&#8221; Evans once said. It was only, he implied, after years of work and struggle and experimentation, years of developing one&#8217;s judgment and vision, that the instrument could be pushed to its full, revelatory potential. Using the SX-70, and leaving aside the intricacies of photographic technique, Evans stripped photography to its bare essentials: seeing and choosing. The 300 images in this book, almost all of them unpublished, were selected from a total of approximately 2500 Polaroids that Evans left behind when he died in 1975.<\/p>\n\n\n<div

It is always about the right time to release the shutter, at a moment that captures and accurately reflects what is fleeting and coincidental. For Siegfried Hansen, street photography is not so much in the nature of reportage and documentation. What he is interested in is graphic elements, shapes, interwoven lines and structures that, when harmoniously related to oneanother, yield an abstract image. Whereas in the photographs of such prominent role models as Henri Cartier-Bresson and Andr\u00e9 Kert\u00e9sz people play a major role, in the works of this Hamburg photographer faces and people are only suggested and are at best only dimly visible. No more is shown than is needed to create an interesting and balanced combination of people and objects.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hautlieucreative.co.uk\/photo19a2e\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/39\/2019\/02\/717siegfried_hansen_-_hold_the_line_kettler_2015_beispielseiten.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-150\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hautlieucreative.co.uk\/photo19a2e\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/39\/2019\/02\/fb3.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-152\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hautlieucreative.co.uk\/photo19a2e\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/39\/2019\/02\/fb7.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-153\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p><strong>Ricardo Cases:<\/strong>&nbsp;<em>el porque de las naranjas<br>&nbsp;<\/em>At first sight, reality appears chaotic and anarchic. If events have any kind of logic to them, it lies well hidden behind an overlay of banality so thick as to make it invisible. And yet, at certain exceptional moments, life slackens and reveals itself. The automaton allows its innards be glimpsed, and its mechanism becomes momentarily evident as the logic of chaos.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In his new work,&nbsp;<em>El porqu\u00e9 de la naranjas<\/em>, Spanish photographer Ricardo Cases does not document the surface symptoms of reality, but instead renders the non-visible, the mechanistic. In his immediate surroundings \u2013 the fertile region of Levante in Spain \u2013 the photographer reveals ephemeral moments that might otherwise go unnoticed. Out on the streets he sets out to make visible the laws that regulate the universe, hunting down the elementary participles in the same vein as a nuclear physicist attempting to identify the Higgs particle. Cases uses the landscape as a laboratory, a place where these mechanisms can manifest themselves freely. The work is not a portrait of Levante itself, but of the spirit of Levante, and thus of the spirit of Spain as a whole.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hautlieucreative.co.uk\/photo19a2e\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/39\/2019\/02\/Ricardo-Cases-01.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-148\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"470\" src=\"https:\/\/exam.hautlieucreative.co.uk\/photo26exam\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2026\/02\/Screenshot-2026-02-22-at-14.15.16-1024x470.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-468\" srcset=\"https:\/\/exam.hautlieucreative.co.uk\/photo26exam\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2026\/02\/Screenshot-2026-02-22-at-14.15.16-1024x470.png 1024w, https:\/\/exam.hautlieucreative.co.uk\/photo26exam\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2026\/02\/Screenshot-2026-02-22-at-14.15.16-300x138.png 300w, https:\/\/exam.hautlieucreative.co.uk\/photo26exam\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2026\/02\/Screenshot-2026-02-22-at-14.15.16-1536x705.png 1536w, https:\/\/exam.hautlieucreative.co.uk\/photo26exam\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2026\/02\/Screenshot-2026-02-22-at-14.15.16.png 1678w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>Historical context: In the 1948 Danish photographer Keld Helmer Petersen published his ground breaking photobook 122 Colour Photographs.

He was thus an heir to the avant-garde photography that had developed in Europe in the 1920\u2019s.&nbsp;Early in his career, his work was marked by unusual intensity. Composites, multiple-exposure, superimposition of negatives, juxtapositions of two images, solarization and other formal means were part and parcel of his vocabulary. &nbsp;He was committed to discovering the potential of black and white photography during the shooting and the printing, and has shown consummate skill in each stage of the photographic process.

Like his contemporaries&nbsp;<a href=\"http:\/\/www.artnet.com\/artists\/roy-lichtenstein\/\">Roy Lichtenstein<\/a>&nbsp;and&nbsp;<a href=\"http:\/\/www.artnet.com\/artists\/Robert-rauschenberg\/\">Robert Rauschenberg<\/a>, Warhol responded to mass-media culture of the 1960s. His silkscreens of cultural and consumer icons\u2014including Marilyn Monroe, Elizabeth Taylor, Campbell\u2019s Soup Cans, and Brillo Boxes\u2014would make him one of the most famous artists of his generation. \u201cThe best thing about a picture is that it never changes, even when the people in it do,\u201d he once explained. Born Andrew Warhola on August 6, 1928 in Pittsburgh, PA, he graduated from the Carnegie Institute of Technology in 1949. Moving to New York to pursue a career in commercial illustration, the young artist worked for magazine such as&nbsp;<em>Vogue<\/em>&nbsp;and&nbsp;<em>Glamour<\/em>. Though Warhol was a gay man, he kept much of his private life a secret, occasionally referencing his sexuality through art. This is perhaps most evident in his drawings of male nudes from the 1950s, and later in his film&nbsp;<em>Sleep<\/em>&nbsp;(1963), which portrays the poet&nbsp;<a href=\"http:\/\/www.artnet.com\/artists\/john-giorno\/\">John Giorno<\/a>&nbsp;nude. In 1964, Warhol rented a studio loft on East 47th street in Midtown Manhattan which was later known as The Factory. The artist used The Factory as a hub for movie stars, models, and artists, who became fodder for his prints and films. The space also functioned as a performance venue for The Velvet Underground. During the 1980s, Warhol collaborated with several younger artists, including&nbsp;<a href=\"http:\/\/www.artnet.com\/artists\/jean-michel-basquiat\/\">Jean-Michel Basquiat<\/a>,&nbsp;<a href=\"http:\/\/www.artnet.com\/artists\/francesco-clemente\/\">Francesco Clemente<\/a>, and&nbsp;<a href=\"http:\/\/www.artnet.com\/artists\/keith-haring\/\">Keith Haring<\/a>. The artist died tragically following complications from routine gall bladder surgery at the age of 58, on February 22, 1987 in New York, NY. After his death, the artist\u2019s estate became The Andy Warhol Foundation and in 1994, a museum dedicated to the artist and his oeuvre opened in his native Pittsburgh. Today, his works are held in the collections of the Art Institute of Chicago, the Whitney Museum of American Art in New York, and the Tate Gallery in London, among others.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\" id=\"attachment_175\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hautlieucreative.co.uk\/photo19a2e\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/39\/2019\/02\/warhol-campbell-cans-dec-2018-lede.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-175\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Andy Warhol<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hautlieucreative.co.uk\/photo19a2e\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/39\/2019\/02\/6-Elvis-I-II-POP-Art.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-170\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hautlieucreative.co.uk\/photo19a2e\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/39\/2019\/02\/5baad1b28563b990313805.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-176\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\" id=\"attachment_172\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hautlieucreative.co.uk\/photo19a2e\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/39\/2019\/02\/file.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-172\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Robert Rauschenberg<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p><strong>MONTAGES<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>More recently,&nbsp;<strong>Anastasia Samoylova<\/strong>&nbsp;constructs intricate installations from images of nature.

Neshat\u2019s early photographic works include the Women of Allah series (1993\u20131997), which explored the question of gender in relation to Islamic fundamentalism and militancy. Her subsequent video works departed from overtly political content or critique in favor of more poetic imagery and narratives. In her practice, she employs poetic imagery to engage with themes of gender and society, the individual and the collective, and the dialectical relationship between past and present, through the lens of her experiences of belonging and exile.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Read article here <a href=\"https:\/\/www.forbes.com\/sites\/nargessbanks\/2023\/10\/26\/shirin-neshat-the-fury\/?sh=3ecd019770f5\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Shirin Neshat\u2019s \u2018The Fury\u2019 Is A Powerful, Politically Charged Artwork<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Watch short film about her work here<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\"  id=\"_ytid_36706\"  width=\"800\" height=\"450\"  data-origwidth=\"800\" data-origheight=\"450\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/NyNPl-i_Qw0?enablejsapi=1&#038;autoplay=0&#038;cc_load_policy=0&#038;cc_lang_pref=&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;loop=0&#038;rel=1&#038;fs=1&#038;playsinline=0&#038;autohide=2&#038;theme=dark&#038;color=red&#038;controls=1&#038;disablekb=0&#038;\" class=\"__youtube_prefs__  epyt-is-override  no-lazyload\" title=\"YouTube player\"  allow=\"fullscreen; accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen data-no-lazy=\"1\" data-skipgform_ajax_framebjll=\"\"><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-2 is-cropped wp-block-gallery-32 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-id=\"1473\" src=\"https:\/\/exam.hautlieucreative.co.uk\/photo25exam\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2025\/03\/210125174507-07-shirin-neshat-beauty-essay-restricted-709x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1473\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-id=\"1474\" src=\"https:\/\/exam.hautlieucreative.co.uk\/photo25exam\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2025\/03\/dba224b1a6bb9038500f5e6d586b2106.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1474\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-id=\"1475\" src=\"https:\/\/exam.hautlieucreative.co.uk\/photo25exam\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2025\/03\/shirin_neshat_our_house_rahim_custom-d78483a51140e9734c77ab0eb18ddb7771c6540d-819x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1475\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-id=\"1476\" src=\"https:\/\/exam.hautlieucreative.co.uk\/photo25exam\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2025\/03\/shirin_neshat_women_of_allah_speechless_custom-7ebc744f67b428356d469ab79f6b298254b10a0d-819x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1476\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>BLOGPOSTS: List of work to be completed on the blog Assessment Objectives A2 Photography: (Edexcel) AO1&nbsp;\u2013&nbsp;Develop&nbsp;your ideas through sustained and focused investigations informed by contextual and other sources, demonstrating analytical and critical understanding.
