Walker Evans is a Photographer Born on the 3rd of November, 1903 in the United States and died April 10th 1975. Who also has the project “The Beauty Of The Common Tool”.
The project “The Beauty Of The Common Tool” was made in 1965 and all of the images within the project have a plain white background and also in monochrome, These two effects adds a vintage and a mysterious effect onto the project. He also has his photos exactly in the centre of the frame in every single photo with a lot of negative space around the objects, Evans uses tools that look like construction tools or hospital tools. So I would assume that these photos have been taken in a hospital, a construction site or in someone’s shed.
Darren Harvey-Regan is a British Photographer born in Exeter in 1974. Darren Harvey-Regan also created “beauties of the common tool”. Darren Harvey-Regan`s Photographs are extremely similar to Walker Evans Images in the subject of formalism. Harvey-Regan normally focuses on one object however focusing on the use of lines and shape, in these images above the objects have a unique shape with a different form of lines and texture for example the shapes of the objects are not a square or an actual shape they are a complete random shape. His work often shows up at different exhibitions and museums.
