Due to his aim of wanting to portray a truthfulness within his work and examine conceptual aspects of art his approach to art is unique.His propaganda and dictatorship of Spain allowed him to reflect his authority wihtin his are,his advertising had complete relationships between photography and truth but most importantly he believed that his humour is the most important concept throughout his work and called his art ‘postmorden’

How does Fontcuberta’s work compare to the work of James Casabere ?

Since the mid-1970s James Casebere (b. 1953, Lansing, Michigan) has been carefully constructing architectural models and photographing them, yielding images somewhere between realism and obvious fabrication.All of Casebere’s work is filled with highly detailed models of but in a juxtaposing nano-detailed space.he does this in order to create his’ constructed  photography’. He focused much of his work on minimalism and the emptiness of spaces to that of the expansion of prison cells to flooded rooms.He likes to promote hunting images that do not underestimate the use of light and shadow to form a sense of size. Casebere is interested in the memories and feelings that are brought to mind by the architectural spaces he represents. The resulting works are dramatic, surreal, and remarkably true to life, embracing qualities of photography, architecture, and sculpture.

This differs strongly to that of Joan Fontcuberta’s work and how he focuses on the interesting work in which we are surrounded to portrays aspects of surrealism and adventure within his images. the juxtaposition wihtin their photos are enormous yet both highly influential.

To me Fontcuberta’s work inspires such a depth of beauty and detail of action within his images,everything has a meaning and belonging while still being filled with many visuals. He also has many portrays of people within his work to show how a human ideal to the scenario.I chose this image due to the way in which nature is seen surrounding a basic human necessity, it proposes the state in which he himself lives and how he is tangles and almost retrained to the life of nature and a drawn very humanness aspect of not wanting to leave the bed. It is a minimalist idea but presenting in a more diverse way whereas;

James Casabere’s work prestos a beauty within. basic man made future as he uses the delicacy of light to from and enhance the stutter to become a life and shows a sense of nature though the confinements of human life.

Within my work I too want to show different contrasting elements of more simple and structurally dynamic images enhanced within light but I also ant more interesting and conceptually interesting images.I think both images are just as successful as each other and encompass what they both want to portray every efficiently.I chose to all experiment within His work due to the way in which he is able to show how he captures the landscapes an nature shots which will be the boom of my development shots. Although I think he most effect part of this research is how James Casebere uses light to show tones and stutter within his work which is too what I need to experiment within. He does also have themes of surrealism which will also help me within my project.

Noemie Goudal

Her work that I am interested within is all about “observatories” this is a series of black and white images in order to demonstrate harsh strong structures such as concrete juxtaposed within the opposition of their natural equal,so in this case a calm sea.She creates this within using a two dimensional backdrops constructed entirely from paper by herself.This is interesting because it is forming a creates photography element in order to create a mass 3D feel. she consistently uses nature in order to show a more urban area and create an atmosphere that is not accurate to her surrounding when taken.

Noémie Goudal  has always has been drawn to nature and how she can use a combination of culture and combine them,she describes her methods as “invaded” by the man-made. Her strong attraction additionally to drama so also likes to combine all her learning into one. She has two stages throughout her work being her underline absurdity and the contrasting nature being relegated to a supporting feature.She has consistency said to have a deep  attraction for all but the most hardened urbanite. And yet water has had to give way to plastic, a word which has become synonymous with ’cheap’ and ’false’,although her work shows a beauty of nature and also illusion aspects. This is the conceptual concepts behind a strong majority of he photos.

I chose her as an artist due to her clear ideas of the formal elements trying to enhance the beauty of a strutrue that is man made,although also as a metaphor to demonstrate the obscurity of what humans do to land.

Image analysis

I chose this image due to the industrial impact that the center structure has,and also the impact that the reflection has and the power that it holds over the slow clam sea.There is a clear division and symmetry of three aspects within this image,this it the division of the building,the water and the sky, this allows a segmented and well thought out overall composition of the piece. I will have to do a lot of experimentation  in order to know how to successfully mirror a reflection within the water of the image as the object itself will obviously not be there. I think the tonal depth of colours all work very well together due to the way in which the centre is the main depth and then it gets light and then darker tones to the outside against signifying  a strong cut of shape. I like how the structure is such a solid model and how the cut tones and forms allow a strong contrast within the surrounding nature. the sky also has a hint of romanticism but is very reserved due the removal of colour and form to the clouds themselves.Her narrative is so transhistorical and transcultural she uses such simplistic images in order to prints all of her ideas of how she sees society building all these aggressive large buildings and this is taking away from nature,It is meant to symbolise life itself

My inspiration

I do think that all her methods from tones to the way in which she contrast her buildings to nature is all successful and the way in  which she too wants to show,I also think that the way in which she hangs her images and finally presents them is also successful and highly unique I too will put a lot of thought into presenting my overall last images because it is definitely one of the most important finishing features and I will experiment within this more after I have produced my images.
