Developing Visual Literacy...
Tradeston: A Touching Display - By Alastair Jackson...
Last week we went down to The Lighthouse to see an exhibition by Alastair Jackson. We went down as part of a class and we had to pick out our favourite image and give reasons why.
The photographs that were on display showed how neglected some of the buildings are. I do feel that they could be placed in a better location as the photographer placed his images on a window, the time we went down the light was streaming in so it was difficult to see the images without shielding the light or screwing our eyes up. Also the window it was placed on was quite dirty and with the light coming in it caused a bit of a distraction. It was a bit of a let down to the images.
All of the images are shot in natural light.
The majority of the images were in black and white with a few in colour. I think the black and white ones exclude elements of distraction and just let you focus on the neglected building.
The images are quite small, I think the photographer has done this so there isn’t too much detail he just wants to show the viewers the building.
I see neglected places like this everyday, to the same extent or maybe not as bad. Maybe for people who don’t see it all the time will be shocked by it and feel like something needs to be done to fix them.

Tradeston: A Touching Display
Last week, we visited The Lighthouse as they were doing a display by Alastair Jackson, named Tradeson: A Touching Display.
The images in this exhibition were shot using a DSLR camera, and then some were edited into black and white, then printed and mounted onto a foamboard backing. In the image I have chosen as my favourite [first image], you can see the state of poverty and mess within Tradeston. Everything in the image is a bit of a mess, which is a good reflection of the area in which the images were shot. There is a lot of rubbish and stuff within the image, however there is no sign of life within the image; showing the abandonment of the area. The photographers viewpoint is equal to the image, allowing you to feel that you are experiencing the scene exactly how other people do, without you appearing inferior or superior. The photo is shot in natural lighting due to it being outside. The image has been converted into black and white, giving the feel of the lack of colour and life within the area; which makes it seem dark and eerie. If the work was in colour, I think it would give a slightly more light hearted feel due to the colourful graffiti within the scene. I feel that with this exhibition, the photographer is trying to display the terrible way in which some of our community are living, despite our country being such a rich country. It’s rather disgraceful how some of our own community are being forced to live, in such poor conditions; which makes the viewer of the exhibition feel a bit saddened. A lot of people are ignorant to the situation our community is in, but this opens your eyes to it.
I wasn’t a fan of how the exhibition was laid out. The images were very small and because it was on a window, with the bright sunlight shining in from behind, it was difficult to actually see the images. I understand that the photographer has likely done this because it makes it more intimate due to how close you must get to the images, forcing you to intake more detail.
Overall, I do like this exhibition and think that the images are effective and hit a subject that is often brushed off by people.
