Recycle

I have chosen to use old silver spoons as my recycled object. I like the idea of using old spoons as through wear and tear there is a lot of detail added to the spoons. I would like to add some fruit like cherries and blueberries to my image to add a pop of colour. For the background, I am thinking of using either a piece of old battered up wood or a piece of slate.

Stranger Portrait

We were set a task to go out to the city centre and ask strangers if we could take their photos while using daylight and a reflector. I found this task difficult at first as I was a little nervous to ask strangers to take their photo, but once I got used to asking people it got a little easier.

Why Photography?

Throughout high school I was always unsure of what I wanted to pursue as a career. After being diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes in 2012, I wanted to be a nurse. This however didn't last long as I lost interest in the idea of becoming a nurse. I’ve had an interest in photography for as long as I can remember. I would always ask my parents to use the small red Kodak camera that would lie in the drawer and was only ever pulled out on birthdays or at Christmas, I would then run around the house trying to find interesting things to photograph. If I was lucky enough (basically if I begged hard enough) my mum would occasionally buy me disposable cameras. I absolutely loved when I got the opportunity to take photos on a disposable camera. The thing that excited me most about it was collecting the photos after waiting what felt like months.

I realised that I wanted to pursue photography as a career when one of my mums work clients gave me a DSLR camera to borrow for a few weeks. During this time I took photos of my nephew who was 1 at the time. This sparked my interest in photography so once I left school I applied to photography courses at college. I attended South Lanarkshire College for a year before becoming a student at City of Glasgow. While at South Lanarkshire College I realised that I wanted to open my very own studio as i love doing anything that involves being in the studio.

Clean White Research

When I began doing my research for ideas of images I wanted to take, I had a look at David Baileys work. The first image is one of Baileys, I liked this image as the hood of the jacket stands out against the white background. The second image was also taken by Bailey, I liked this image as it is almost a silhouette image which I like the style of.

I then went onto Pinterest and searched for clean white portraits, the third image I liked because of the flower crown on the models head, I feel that the flower crown adds a touch of colour into an all white image. The last image was a self portrait taken by a photographer named Cristina Otero, I really liked this image as the black tones pop off the page and I also like how the shine in the lips brings your eyes to them.

1890-1899

1888 - George Eastman Patents the Kodak roll film camera.

The Kodak #1 camera was introduced in 1888. Invented and marketed by George Eastman, a former bank clerk from Rochester, New York. The Kodak was a simple box camera that came loaded with a 100- exposure roll of film. Once the roll was finished, the entire machine was sent back to the factory in Rochester, where it was reloaded and returned to the customer while the first roll was being processed. Eastman simplified the apparatus and also processed the film for the consumer making the Kodak #1 camera so popular. He coined the memorable slogan “you press the button, we do the rest”

1898 -

By 1898, just 10 years after the first Kodak was introduced , one photography journal estimated that over 1.5 roll - film camera had reached the hands of amateur shutterbugs.

Diane Arbus

Diane was born on the 14th of march, 1923 in New York City.

In 1928 Diane enrolled at the Ethical Culture School, a progressive private school.

Diane then attended city college from 1933 - 1935 but left before graduating. Diane met her husband Allan Arbus in 1936

In 1938, Diane attends Cummington, a summer school for the arts in Western Massachusetts. Her art teacher at Fieldson recommends her to the painting programme.

In 1942 Diane marries Allan Arbus. She receives a grafted camera as a gift from Allan. Diane took classes with Bernice Abbott, which primarily covered technical aspects of photography.

Following the entry of the US into WW2, Allen enlists in the army. In 1946, after the war Diane and Allan began a commercial photography business called “Diane and Allan Arbus”

In 1956 Diane quit the commercial photography business as she released she no longer enjoyed it. She began wandering the streets of New York with a 35mm Nikon. She would follow strangers and wait in doorways until she saw someone she felt compelled to photograph.

One of Diane’s photos that captured my attention “child with toy grenade in Central Park” The boy in the image is Colin Wood, the son of tennis player Sidney Wood.

Wood hated the image as a child, especially after one of his classmates photocopied the image and plastered it around his school. Now, Colin thinks of it as a great conversation starter. To him, Arbus “captured the loneliness of everyone, It’s all people who want to connect but don't know how to connect” Colin believes that also how Diane felt about herself.

I feel that this image shows how Diane experienced living through the time of a major war. I think that the young boy represents how during the war, Americans were betting on winning as they had joined in the fight. I believe this is a strong image as the boys expression and body language is of a manic nature. The boy hasn't been posed or told what to do, meaning this was his natural reaction to seeing the camera.
