Journey
summer photos
For our homework we were set a task to take a minimum of 100 photos of a journey or travel based scenary. As we had six weeks off I decided to take photos local to me but also as I went away on holiday I also decided to take photos of the scenary there as they are completely different, this also give us an idea of the different environments we could be living around and can travel to. I believe that the buildings are more focused on the design then what it can hold and do compared the buildings we create in England. I think the photos I took could of had more focus on them however instead of taking photographs of my journey on the way there I opened up to the idea of images on my journey when I was actually there, here you can see you can get a completely differently vibe from each country as the setting in Greece - Corfu is completely different to the usual London setting. The images represent the peacefulness of the other country and the clear emptiness and freeness you get from corfu however in London the vibe is packed and busy. I enjoy the cropped effect, I like the way the photos were taken on an edge where as a full on image because it gives the affect of the 'unknown' the photo telling us a story?. They also have a similarity of the colour blue in various ways, I believe I could of clearly taken photographs of the people, the culture and the people as it is all nature or objects. whereas the journey in England and obscure.

His work looks as if it is family related, each photo is a view in their lives and their daily activities. I enjoy his photographs as it represents life and feelings. His images are also old fashioned my photographs do not relate to his work at all however giving the idea memories captured and time caught wasting in a single photo. The photographer in a strange way has captured pictures that maybe family dramas, dramatic moments. The work varies around people of all ages, this is just another way to show a way of journey, time moving on and memories being made. His work involves bright colours.
