mary ellen bartley – reserch and response
Mary Ellen Bartley is an American Photographer born in 1959. Her work “7 things again and again” was a project she started as lockdown hit in Italy and she was forced back home to New York, she took 7 objects and photographed them differently every day for a month. she chose everyday objects that someone would have around the house and a muted colour pallet of mainly white and creams- making the images analogous with low contrast which I like.

My Response
I started by looking for interesting objects in my house and ones that I see every day. I chose a grater, timer, plum, knife and a jar of tea. Along with Mary Ellen Bartley, I was also inspired by a photographer I previously studied Laura Letinsky and the subjects of her photographs- mainly domestic items and fruits and food.

MARY ELLEN BARTLEY:
During the 2019 pandemic of COVID-19, a lockdown was announced. Bartley is this time decided to give herself a photography challenge she was able to do at home. She picked 7 objects from around her house that seemed to have meaning during this pandemic, everyday in her tiny studio she created she would take a picture of the same objects but different ways.
All of her images are clean and unique. The colour palette of the simple earth tones create a cleansed look and aesthetically pleasing to look at. Each image is interesting yet they all include the same objects.
Personally this image I believe is one of her more creative ones. The use of the back natural lighting from her window to create shadows through the toilet paper to see the image, gives the image a unique style. Due to the soft lighting you are still able to see all the objects which still fits with her theme of the photoshoot.
