Alex Webb

These images are from Alex Webb’s Haiti collection and ones I am using for inspiration. I am using these as inspiration as I feel his images have different concepts behind them when relating to the theory I am studying. When looking at the first image we can see a wall, however there are two openings in it which could suggest that Alex has taken this image in a way that challenges the theory of isolation as the sense of isolation isn’t there. In addition, the second and third images do relate to the theme of isolation. The second images relates to the theme of isolation as the high walls and gates create a sense of isolation and entrapment which is a clear indication that it links to the theory. Furthermore, the third image also has connotations of isolation as the two in the corner look trapped possibly indicating that they are inclosed in that area. These three images I can easily respond to by photographing areas that challenge the theory but also link to the theory.  I will focus on areas round St Helier which have built up walls but specifically gated areas and run down areas. I will mainly use natural lighting as it is clear that Alex has only used natural lighting too.
