The work of Joachim Schmid focuses on photographs that are produced and seen everyday, and challenges the idea of ‘art photography’. https://www.telegraph.co.uk/culture/3675573/Joachim-Schmid.html

Examples of his work:

 

Ideas:

For my mock exam I wanted to explore photo montage as I really like the idea of experimenting with the photos I have taken. I wanted to experiment with cutting images in half and sticking them together to create a new “identity”.

I really liked the idea of doing this one of my photos and then getting a photo from iconic films 90s films such as “Pulp Fiction”, “Lost Boys” or the “Goonies”. I want to show how different  the 90s were from today.

Experiments:

Overall I am very happy with how these experiments came out. I think the mixture of old and new is very refreshing and creates nostalgia.
