Research

Matt
Wisniewski



I really do like his work its interesting hes taking photos of people in a studio and then photos out in the street, then making a double exposure but limiting it to one part of the photo not doing it to the whole thing. I don't think these photos really tell a story or if they're meant to but I just find them really interesting to look at. I like the way he has used black and white with color and used similar colors in the other photo from her jacket and the shop signs.








David Samual Stern

I'm not sure whether I like this work or not it is good in the way it is done but I don't like the fact everything is everywhere, I don't know where to look on the photographs. He has made these photographs by taking two pictures of one person that are different and then has weaved them together. I do understand why people like the photos because they're very abstract and interesting but for my this isn't the type of work I want to look at.


















Jennifer lober
I really like her work I like the way she has made you think about the photo more when there is another photo next to it. The technique she's using is called diptychs. This is where you take the photo and put a different photo next to it to make you think about the actual photo differently. I do like this work because it really makes you think, they're not the best of photos but its a good idea.









Installation 

A installation is a for of exhibiting a piece of artwork or a picture in a unordinary way. This is used to draw the attention of the public in more by getting them more involved. Installations are normally more interactive with people sometimes you can touch them or there is a lot more to look at. Sometime its a lot of pictures making one big picture. Some of the time it could just be a picture but covering a whole wall something as simple as that. Installation is usually a 3D piece in a exhibition, Sometimes there is one or two and sometimes the exhibition is just installation. 












Digital media in contemporary art 
There is a lot of potential for digital media in contemporary art in the design practice. Digital art can be a image, sound, video, animation etc. a photographer who uses this is Wendy McMurdo, she uses normal photography technique but then uses digital media to make it more abstract and into a contemporary art when she makes the same person come into the image twice. 
I really like this photo i think its interesting the way she has done it. It looks almost as if the child doesn't recognize herself or is trying to see who she it. You can tell the photographer has enhanced the colors and made the photo look realistic. I do like this work and may try something like this as one of my techniques.




Digital media has been a important role in this because photographers and artistes can use software's such ad photoshop do do touch up on there photographs and make them look a lot better then they would without it.









Typography

 Typography is a technique that is done as a collage or on photoshop, The 'photographers' that do this will take a old photo and put a modern background on it with text and paint to make it modern like. I don't like this kind of work I don't see them as photographers because they haven't taken any pictures themselves they're using other peoples photos and adding stuff onto it. But I do understand why they do it.

Diptychs


This one is obvious that it is to do with love by the dove symbolizing it.




This one is obviously to do with them studying because it shows it in the opposite photo.



This shows thats they're probably planning to do something to someone or a place.

I do like this type of work because it can show anything really. As i have done you can take one picture and make it mean a few different things. I think Diptychs make you think more then a normal photograph. I also think you can put a picture of something that may have been used on a person in the photo. For example a perfume bottle next to this picture because the woman was wearing that perfume. I think the composition of the two photos next to each other is really nice i think it would look a bit weird if it was any other way.
