Which of the 3 photographers have you liked most so far? You will choose at least ONE of these photographers to inspire your ideas for the rest of the project, PLUS another of your choice...
Joel Tjintjelaar - Looking up at high rise buildings to distort perspectives. Black and white, high contrast.
Zsolt Hlinka - Photographs buildings then copies and flips them to make them repeat symmetrically. Flat coloured background, realistic colour buildings. Buildings fade off the page.
Paul Eis - Edits colours into boring buildings. Bright flat colour skies. Single buildings but interesting shapes. Uses creative colour schemes.
Jared Lim - Abstract photography focusing on curves, patterns, geometry and line.
Jason M Peterson - black and white, strong lighting/contrast, eye catching structures, featuring people.
Hiroharu Matsumoto - Starting shooting from 2015, making works on the theme of urban life in Tokyo.
How to make informed decisions about suitable photographers for your project, considering appropriate level of challenge and how you will combine your artist with the ones you have previously used.
Choose ONE photographer from the following six to research as one of the main photographers for your project.
Carry out your own research into the artists that interest you (From this list only) then write a paragraph to analyse their work. Work on a powerpoint - one slide.
Include a few photos of their work, and their name as the title. Use the sentence starters/prompts to help you with your writing if needed.
To analyse a photographer's work, you need to talk about what is in the picture, how they have taken the photograph, camera or editing techniques they have used, how they have used the formal elements (colour, composition, lighting, viewpoint etc), what you like about the work, and how their work could inspire your own photographs. Try to use key words.
If you need help getting started, use these sentence starters but write as a paragraph...
Artist's Name takes photographs of... He/she takes his/her photos by... This photographer considers formal elements in their work by... Something I like about Artist's Name's photography style is... I could take inspiration from this photographer in my own work by...
For the higher marks, you need to demonstrate a really good understanding of the artist's work and techniques, and make thoughtful comments about how you could take inspiration from their work, thinking about how you could be individual rather just copying.
Your homework is to take a set of 30+ photographs in different locations in the style of your new photographer - Due one week today
