My Own Work 29.04.13
POSTED ON Monday, 29 April 2013 AT 22:08 \\
After recieving an email from Mandy regarding helping a third year student, I decided to volunteer myself. The brief of the day was a visit from 35 school girls: 6 of which who were year 10 photography students, the rest year 9s posing as models for textiles students: modelling their garments and also with hair and make up done. My job today was to assist the photography students, guide them with the use of natural and artificial light against a backdrop while they took pictures. I also took some photographs to be used by the level 6 student who organised the event to use as part of her work. I took the following images however with the thought in the back of my mind reflecting Juergen Teller's works again.
The shots I have here are more abstract, cropping at odd angles rather than the full body shots that were required. This also provides anonymity to the subjects. Teller has often cropped his images or taken pictures from a strange perspective, the muted colours and contrasting is also something I see as an influence.
