Evaluation, critique and comparison.
First of all, I think I really achieved that awkwardness Clare portrays in her photos. I did this by making the people who I am photographing in awkward and uncomfortable positions. By doing this, I was able to portray the ideas of performance and the gesture to interrogate and subvert domination modes of representation.
She uses her body to communicate word she is not able to say or doesn’t want to say directly. Her use of her body is a powerful message that implies that one can communicate without words. I think I successfully show this in my pictures. However in my pictures I wanted to show the awkwardness of being objectified. I was still using my subjects body to communicate my message but it was a different type of message.
The portrayal of a certain discomfort within my pictures due to objectification, can be taken personally or indirectly, just like Clare Rae. The use of her body to explore her own personal experiences is something that she makes apparent. I, however did not use myself in these pictures, which I should have, so that I could show how I was heavily influenced by Clare, herself.
Furthermore, a way that I showed how heavily inspired I was by Clare Rae was producing a picture with similar settings and colours. As seen above, there is two pictures that shows a girl in a confined space just like what Clare did when she visited jersey and famously took a picture of her in a similar situation. That picture was in black and white so I also edited mine to black and white.
It also is evident that I have some coloured pictures and some black and white pictures, just like Clare Rae.
Overall, I think that my final products relates to Clare Rae’s work. I believe that, next time I should focus more on important details like, producing more pictures with a similar settings as hers and taking pictures of myself, like she does.
