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.
