“There is a lot of casual chat about it, just as there is a lot of casual photography”

3 quotes taken from interview with Rut Blees Luxemburg:

“It’ another kind of street photography. Or maybe “street” isn’t even important. “Public” photography is better.”

I agree with this quote because street photography can be done by anybody, therefore it should be called public. It also signifies that people can sometimes judge what can happen in the image if we called it street photography, but if we do it in public, people would be more aware of what is happening.

“It’s a fascination with the possibilities of the large format camera and the long exposure which allows me to let chance enter the work.”

“I edit before I shoot, which means I take a very deliberate number of photographs.”

I believe that this is true because you make sure that you have everything you need before doing the photo shoot, but also as photographers we edit the setting of the camera before we take an image therefore we dont have to do it after.

Image analysis:

Visual:

In the image you can see a set of steps going in to a river – you can also see the water edge. The light is hitting the stairs on the centre but the main light focus is on the right side of the image. In the image there is a few details that you can focus on, you can see the brick outline on the wall,

Technical:

The image has been taken in an abstract form only focusing on the steps and the water, you can notice as well that the light is mainly on the right side of the image

Contextual/Conceptual:

Rut Blees mostly photographed at night and focused on urban surrounding. The image is called In Deeper, and this was taken by the river Thames. The Footprints in the mud on the steps signify the absent of human presence.
