Photographs of Interest (3) (B&W only)

I think the way that movement is captured in this series of photographs is really interesting. I also love the way that the skirt flows and hangs; it's very lovely. The compositions are all uniquely captivating, as if each individual photo could be its own piece. But putting them together creates a whole new, and fantastic, effect.

This photo is brilliant. I love the lovely innocence of this piece. It makes me think of school days, and made me smile as soon as a saw it. It's a fantastic composition. I think that when the photographer decided to capture this scene, he wanted to do so in a way that would make people feel warm and happy when they saw it. I also like all the cars in the background. It makes you wonder what those drivers were thinking when they saw this scene.

Out of all of this photographer's work, this particular photograph really stood out to me. It's also well lit and very effectively composed. The outfit she's wearing is brilliant; I love the patterns on it and the feathers on her head. It is the kind of photograph that you would see in an old matchbox or a frame in an old house. It's so wonderfully retro.

Photograms of Interest

Susan Derges -  I love the composition of this photogram; how it looks like a real scene, and at the same time, its so unreal too. The ripples on the water look so beautiful, and the leaves at the top are very interesting. I love all of Derges' work. It's so professional that with some I could barely tell whether it was a photograph or a photogram. It's absolutely fantastic.

Laszlo Maholy-Nagy - We did something similar to this in our last photography section, where we put objects onto photographic paper and flashed light above it. The results were interesting, but not as good as these ones. I love the shapes and patterns you can see in this photogram. It's like looking at clouds; it can look like lots of different objects. I think it's captivating.

Adam Fuss - The water in this piece is just amazing. There are lots of photograms similar to this one, but this was my favourite because of how amazing the ripples in the water look. I also really like the yellow of the water and the purple in the silhouette of the baby. Because purple and yellow are complimentary colours, I think that this photogram works very well and looks really lovely.

Photographs of Interest (2)

This photo makes me think of long school days, when by the end of the day, all you can think about is your bed. I feel very nostalgic looking at this photo. It so beautifully catches the innocence of childhood. I also love how simple it is, because it means you're focusing on the little girl instead of the background. I love it, such a lovely piece.

This is a brilliant piece. I really like how this girl looks here. Everything about her makes her seem like an old woman; from her vacant expression to her old clothes. I think that this effect of mixing young and old together is really interesting. The outcome is fantastic.

There's something so comical about this scene. The woman washing her hair is supposed to be sexy and nice to look at, but the man in the background completely changes the whole scene. Because the man is in the same position as the woman, it makes the scene a little... gross. This is a great composition. I love the accidental element it has to it. It's almost as if someone has tried to take a photo of a lovely woman, and has ended up with this fat man in the background. It's hilarious! I think its a fantastic photograph.
