When we went to see Claude Cahoon and Claire Rae‘s photography exhibition it was obvious that Claude Cahoon had a strong influence on Claire Rae‘s work as their styles are very similar, in addition to both photographers taking only black and white photos.

Both photographers also implement their body into their photos. However, they do this in their owns styles; Claire Rae makes her self look vulnerable, as if one move could end in her falling/getting injured. Whereas Claude Cahoon explored abstract themes which were not commonly talked about at the time.

However, none of the work by these two photographers was my favourite from the visit; in my opinion the pink floyd was the best.  This is because it had great use of shape and pattern. The name of the band spread out through edited versions of their most famous album cover ‘dark side of the moon’. This photo appeals to most of the general public due to its uniform structure and the pictures its made of being recognised by nearly everyone.
