About Henner

Mishka Henner is a Belgian artists who is currently living and working in Manchester,his work is featured within the contemporary arts and working within photography in the internet age,he has been featured in many surveys over time.He studied at Lough borough university and also at goldsmiths college,after he attended school in London he stayed there for a number of years until 2003,he vised Tate modern frequently surveying many documentary photography which to him was described as ‘life changing’.Later on in life he featured on many broadsheet magazines and soon after in 2008 joined panos pictures.He has also been described as a modern day Duchamp,his appropriation of image-rich technologies including ,google earth,street view and also you tube.This is the means of all of his inspiration and where he is seen adopting his print-on-demand bypass to traditional models.This creates a unique sense of works which is inspired by many social medias but also the way in which we love as a group in society through  industrial urban-ism.

Many of his key works are between 2010 and 2015,Henners work is brought to life by the strong engagement of character and nature within his photography. many of his works resulted in print on demand books,films and installations that featured in large scale museum  within France,Canada,and then in the us.He works in the following manner,his new approach of photography is seeing light,photographer without cameras,the need to press the shutter is replaced by a direct interest in images,not necessarily in making images.

Image analysis

I chose this image due to the clear though out and interesting composition of the piece itself,all the lines create a strong presence of structure coming from throughout the image,He conceptually wanted to capture the way in which people are continuously walking in a straight created format for themselves and  rarely veering off the path,He took this from a birds eye view angle possibly from google maps and used a strong technological purpose.

ideas I would want to use within my work:

I too would want to take high elevated shots in order too mature lines and a structure within what looks like nature but man made lines’ think it is a clear representation of the path that everyone constantly walks, and how they are in such straight lines and create a parasol form. I think I will use his work more as reference and inspiration and will not do the same technique due to this being very  unrealistic to accomplish without a drone.

Edward Burtynsky

Burtynsky is a Canadian photographer and artists known for his large format photographs of industrial landscapes. His work is now housed in more than 50 museums word wide.He was born in Ontario and his parents then immigrated to Canada in 1951,his childhood is filled of watching ships pass through locks so a very outside oriented childhoood, he also had an interest within many industrial areas and the slow developing urbanism of his life. when he was just 11 his farther purchased a dark room inclusive cameras and manuals from which he practised and become an ammeter photography .he learned how to male black and white prints together with his older sister established small business

I chose this artists because he had a consistent view though all his work and only demonstrated different angles and heI did not change theme throughout. Much like the previous artists he focused very much upon how he can sues suture within all of his work,I again think this is interesting and when possibly will try to find similar scenarios.

Burtynskys most famous work are sweeping views of landscapes altered by industry,mine tailings,quarries,scrap piles, the grand, awe inspiring beauty of his images and is often tension within the compromised environments they depict. He has made several excursions to china and the country toys industrial emergence and the construction of one of the worlds largest engineering project.

To be able to take images like this I will have to get to very high places and then use a wide lens in order to capture accurately the whole ascent of the area itself.I could also do more night time slow shutter speeds and try  to capture  the light traces with all the given road paths because it shows even a more detrimental human inference of technology and building in order for human convenience.

Within this image you can see an architectural  side to the image and also the the structure to the image and the interesting sense of atmosphere that it brings.The green shows the small amount of nature left In the world and how it is now overpowered by the cities and insurable towns that we all live among.

This is my favourite image due to the way in which he uses the interesting and somewhat dystopian feel in order to show a theme of ruins and slow destruction that the human are forming on the earth, his works is done in order to show awareness of global warming and all the negative aspects that we as a society are distilling upon our world.

Ideas for the shoot

I would want to go to many areas such as the dump were there is a large change and a slow deterioration of the green and healthy nature within the environment and how that society and its gradual new buildings evolve so do the effect on the environment and also the people and living and trying to prevent this form occurring.I will only be able to use aspects of this work as I am not able to take images from as high of an angle.
