First responses to the theme
Targets:
I need to complete all work and take more photos, I also want to learn how to properly control exposure and focus with cameras to get better quality work.

Patrick Cornillet
Cornillet is a painter, not a photographer.
In this series, he has painted architectural elements isolated from their environment and reconstituted in the form of objects on a white background. The concrete makes us aware of the material and of the remains left by the humans and of time passing by.

success criteria
- Photograph from a corner to achieve perspective.
- Make sure that the part you will edit the image to is contained within the frame. (Some of Cornillet’s images go off two edges of the frame) There must be space around the part you are photographing.

Chris Killip: Photographer's Gallery
Chris Killip photographed people in the north of England. He wanted to document the lives of those affected by the economic downturn of the 70s and 80s.
Killip lived with the communities he photographed. He saw the togetherness of communities and the industries that sustained them. He stayed with them until he witnessed their loss. He described the people in the deindustrialised north as having had history done to them.

In this picture I get the feeling that he is hopeless, sad and is unable to do anything about it. This mirrors how the community felt in the north during the hard times and it suggests life back then was a lot harder than how it is in the modern day.
In this photo the children are playing in the unclean and messy streets. The huge boat in the background is very close to the houses and suggests that they rely on the industry for their income.
Christian Thompson
Formally trained as a sculptor, Thompson’s multidisciplinary practice engages mediums such as photography, video, sculpture, performance and sound. His works explore constructs and ideas of identity, sexuality, gender, cultural hybridity, memory and history, often highlighting the relationships between these concepts and the environment. He uses his own identity and multicultural background to interrogate and re-appropriate established, predominantly white systems of reference, as a way of imagining new personal positions. Throughout his work, he creates and inhabits a range of personae through performance and what he calls ‘anti-portraits’, incorporating handcrafted costumes and carefully orchestrated poses and backdrops.
Independent Development
Suzanne Saroff
Suzanne Saroff combines commonplace objects with different tools, techniques and colours to create alternative avenues of perception and expression, for example she uses glasses of water with objects behind it to create a distorted image.
Examples of her photography -
Development 1
With the first development piece i was trying to capture the distortion effect Saroff creates by placing objets behind different shaped glasses filled with water.
WWW : Distortion is good and focus is good.
EBI: If I had better lighting, background and objects. Placement of objects could be better.

Development 2
My intentions for the next set is too experiment with putting different coloured flowers and pour different colours of ink into the water. I want to hopefully create a distorted effect and even transform the photos into a gif to capture the ink moving in the water creating a random pattern.
Best edits
WWW: good focus with a nice variety of colour, well exposed with no blurs. The water changes the shape of the flower by magnifying the flower and distorting its shape creating a cool effect in the photo.
EBI: If the flower was distorted in a way where it appears on both sides of the jar with a gap in the middle, i think that it will create a cooler effect.
