I was inspired by this image due to the composition of the piece centring the women and how she connotes a struggle of her voice being taken away with all the hands heading towards her mouth, It presents a strong relation of humans to violence,and the most important weapons we have is our voice. Although how we are expected to act a certain way due to the environment we grow up in or dependent on our gender.Furthermore the lack of eye contact presents her human emotion and how she is not addressing us directly as she is seen as powerless wihtin the image once again indicating human behaviour of fear due to others influences.

I would further develop this image in order to present more surrealist values possibly adding more hands and creating a more conceptual feel to being trapped and isolated.It again highlights the sense of human struggle and relationships people have to form due to the codes and conventions as where they were raised.

Secondly this image shows a strong sense of raw emotion and additional themes of photo journalism, it shows a presence of emotion as well as conceptual idea presenting peoples feelings and also what they want in the world.

These last two images I  was inspired as it tracks human behaviour and activity as one existence and conceptually how we all ignore each other and do not view each other as equal.I think this demonstrates a movement as a wide view to capture society.I wasn’t influenced by a apseicifc artists but more the means at which all photojournalism and surrealism artists work to capture people in a certain light to present a conceptual meaning of truth.

for my shoot I too want to capture truth but will additional edit the images to presents a surrealism effect such as manipulating and adding more hands, or editing the scenario they are surrounded by. locations need to be areas in which travel is highly occurring and used to presents  a humans active life and actions .It also presents  conventions of a persons life and a routine in which we all stick to as a society because it is how we are expected to behaviour and act as a whole group.

Ketty la rocca

Ketty La Rocca was born 14 July 1938, in La Spezia, Kingdom of Italy – and died 7 February 1976, in Firenze,

Her work focus on beauty conventions and breaking them, this artist specifically also demonstrates human behaviour and the relationship people hold within each other;The art of La Rocca acts as a form of  visual poetry, visual art, and performance. She explored language, images, and scenes of the everyday world. She emphasized the imagery of bodies.She examined their potential for expression. She combined hands and words. She desired to create a different language, a more visceral communion in which the physical body, gestures and the written word were intertwined. She was a leading exponent of body art and visual poetry movements.

Analysis of her work:

This image is almost symbolic for how we are tried and confined by a certain behaviour or have a constant fear to act or look a certain way. I think my previous idea and this artist would make a very interesting shoot altogether.

Jesse Draxler

Draxler has such a strong presence through his powerful imagery and attitude of mystery. He charges his work through poignant cuts,scratches ,rips and abstract brush marks.  His work typically remains within black and white pallet in order to hold the bold composition of the piece itself.I chose his work as there is such a strong abstract presence as he address his own individuality to enhance an image altogether.when talking about his inspiration he is seen saying:”There is something about defacing an image that is not mine that I dig, much like graffiti I suppose. Image denial, rebellion, a subtle violence or aggression is inherent in that process,Transforming an image from something I may not really care for into something that speaks for me is gratifying, like creation through destruction. Mine now.”

His visual influence is so abstract and even he himself has said it is his own self exploration as how he can make an image his own,In Morden societies culture everything around us is influenced by something else. Fashion and his natural environment is additionally a factor seen effecting his work.He portrays his emotion weather that being a bad or good day into his work to symbolise a numb or positive feeling.He sees himself and his work as one big a ‘human canvas’

I was inspired by his work as he influences peoples appearances and beauty through his own  concentrations of his emotions at the time and how this behavior effects the image and itself overall effect.He not only uses collage and editing within Photoshop but also adds substances such as fire and a life effect captured on an image itself. he has such a strong concentration of the subject and only being  surrounded by a white background.This image also connects to alternative aspects of itself,using smoke from the eyes and fire from the mouth to symbolize the artists feeling of anger and self isolation. additionally the tones are so exposed with the contrast of white and black throughout with only a glimpse of color.There is an absence of self being and identity within this photo as he has no eyes and mouth so every freedom and sense of self expression and feeling is removed,this is a metaphor for again how we have to behave within a conditioned environment of society and a code of how we have to behave and the conventions of how our voice and personality can be removed by the voices of others.

inspiration for shoot;

For my shoot inspired by his work I will be mostly concentrated on varying angles and lighting of a person and then the main aspect of the image will be the secondary development of how to emotionally enhance the image itself. This could be through editing the image,using collage,using a fire substance or a  material to form texture,or possibly using Photoshop to create an  unrealistic altered effect to the image itself.I want all my work to have a strong aspect of originality and also unique editing circumstances and compositions to make a  detailed  analysis of the piece itself and more of the meaning behind what the image symbolizes. I will experiment with the ideas developed above but then also the way in which this changes how that persons beauty conventions have been altered and how the new image mimics a feeling or tone or presence to the piece as a whole.

Original inspiration

For my third artists I wanted to expand my ideas further from the behavior of people and  focus upon the behavior of nature and a pathetic flallsey effect and how nature has emotions and more power over humans.I want to portray a more free sense of nature and the environment not being held back by man made creations. I was originally inspired by the following images:I also want to focus on the conventional laws of how nature and how it is seen to behave and how we cannot actually predict its actions and its behaviour is a clear opposition to the lack of identity that people continuously show.

Third artists:Tony Hertz

He’s been recognized with top awards for his landscape photographs.His work has been published widely, including Outdoor Photographer Magazine, Photographer’s Forum, Silvershotz and Black and White Magazines. Tony has over 35 years of professional photography experience with 10 years of it as a daily newspaper photographer. While working as a photojournalist it helped refine his compositional instincts.Then he turned to focus mainly on landscape and nature subjects for personal and fine art photography work.  he become interested within photography in his early years of childhood when fining a box camera.At age 10 he was drawn to LIFE magazine and any book or tabloid that contained photos which in turn inspired him on his creative adventure. in 1971 he soon enrolled in a  photography class in San Bernardino Valley College.Afterwards he earns a liberal art degree and continued to teach photography.,while also learning the composition and techniques of the newspaper photographs. he soon became ;photojournalist;list of the year’ gaining skills of editing images and communicating within editors and photographers on story ideas and preventions. in the mid 1980’s he started to refine his compositional instincts and technically hone his photography skills. More importantly, it brought himself  into many situations and experiences with interesting people and events that shaped me professionally and personally.

I Chose this work due to the way the phototherapy divides his time equally shooting and then editing his work and additionally teaching traditional film photography and digital photography. within his work he has such diverse techniques and methods in order to capture the different atmospheres within landscapes and different methods in which to present nature and water,some of his work:

image anyslsis:

critical anyslsis:I Was inspired by this image as it presents a softer feel to nature and a long shutter speed in order to capture a movement of the water,This questions the conventions of the expectation of nature and the  presentation of how it works and can be presented.for my shoot I can develop the behaviour of nature demonstrating more stormy isolated weather as seen before and more romantisced nature to symbolises a behaviour we present and don’t show to people,furthermore the abstract sense and unpredictability that nature symbolises demonstrates the power nature has over people and how its strength can change the way people act and behave.
