Images inspired by Robert Frank [WINDOWS]
Frank’s images can be considered windows as they show photos that separate the people in the image from the viewer. his images are able to provide a view into another world where both an objective and subjective perspective can be shown. it shows the view of a moment in time which we don’t experience ourselves. this could be things such as a different culture that isn’t ours showing that we wouldn’t experience this moment however we are getting a view into someone else’s reality. windows may sometimes bring across an emotional aspect where the viewer feelings certain feelings towards the image and what is going on as they experience a glimpse of someone else’s reality.
Images inspired by Man Ray [MIRRORS]
Man Ray creates images that are considered mirrors by using reflective surfaces to distort images where he is able to present his subjects in unique ways. he manipulates the images which creates a break between what is real and what is illusion. He does this by placing mirrors in certain places which create the distortions. The image that is considered a mirror doesn’t usually include everything, it only captures what the photographer chooses to show and then allows to the viewer to interpret it from there. Mirrors in photography can be used to show identities and personal opinions and thoughts. like an actual mirror, they can be used to reflect how we see ourselves. they provide reflections of internal and external meanings and influence the way we perceive ourselves or what the photographer wants us to see. overall mirrors are not just a direct reflection, photographs like this are able to share deeper meanings and allow the viewer to be subjective with how the interpret the meaning.
