WHO IS STEPHANIE JUNG?

Stephanie Jung, based in Germany, is based known for her experimental work using multiple exposures of cities and crowded areas. She learnt the crafts of photography through her father. She loves warm colours (often around dusk time) and busy streets filled with pedestrians, vehicles, and tall buildings. After taking pictures from all different angles and exposures, she layers them all on top of each other so that you can vividly see all them all.

WHY HAVE A CHOSEN THIS PHOTOGRAPHER?

I have chosen Stephanie Jung because I really like the way it shows the busyness of a city while it still being different, exciting and not just a boring picture that you could see anywhere. This links to Anthropocene as I think its a great way of showing overpopulation (busy, lots of people, etc.) and pollution (loads of cars, etc.).

HOW I WILL RESPOND?

I plan to walk around town (St. Helier) and other busy places, especially around 4-5pm when lots of people finish work so there will be more going on and to photograph. I will mainly look for large crowds and tall buildings as these are elements that are focus points in Stephanie Jung’s work that I really love the effect of. I also the love the use of colour in the photos and how they can have such a big impact on the whole appearance of the photo, and because it is currently winter the sun will be setting when I plan on taking photos which I think will bring the pictures to life and make them that bit more special.
