Artist research: My own analysis of the artist s picture.

What it
means and how it inspires my own photography.

These are good examples of using the point of view of someone moving through the space. (Left) even though you aren t looking through the eyes of the person like the photo on the right, you are still able to put yourself in their shoes. Perhaps it s the black and white effect that makes you concentrate on the silluettedperson and their journey ahead. The colour (or lack of) and emptiness of the photo gives a feeling of sadness or loneliness. The photo on the right is in colour and bright. More cheerful, like rood trip on a sunny day.

This point of view makes me feel like I m running down the stairs. I usually focus on one point when I m descending. Maybe to steady myself from falling. I think depth of field will be a good tool to use for direction and movement/the point of view of someone moving.

I like Ann Shelton s use of symmetry. A mirrored picture is used to create a space. To me it looks both real and fake. Symmetry can also make an ugly space look beautiful.

Neil Pardington. To me, Neil s use of straight lines, symmetry and vanishing points show direction of movement through a space. The strategy I m applying to my own photos.

Water is very transient (its there one moment and gone the next. Passing through
a space) As I have chosen to show my space as transitory, I will be including a flowing stream by using point of views/ camera angles that illustrate movement through my space. I have photographed a stream flowing underneath a walkway bridge featured also in the photo series. Flowing water is the epitome for transitory reality. It is temporary and continuous.
