Street Assignment - Final thoughts 2

BUSKER

 These are my final images from the Street assignment. I decided to shoot images of my friend playing guitar. I love these images and I am very proud of how they have come out. The images show a lonliness because he is on his own and there is nothing going on in the background.
My favourite image is the middle image because the way I have manipulated it looks like an old style photograph.

Julian Germain

I really enjoyed this talk because I found it relevant to me at the time because we were doing the "Making a book" assignment and for the assignment I am doing my book about portraiture.
His biggest work were group projects he did. Although I don't really find his photographs that interesting I still appreciate that he took the time to come and speak to us and I also like his ideas for shoots.

After researching Julian Germain I found he did a portrait project about generation this influenced my ideas for my own portrait project.

Studio Output

Studio Output are a team of artist working in every medium. Based within two studios in London and Nottingham.
They work doing websites, Advertising and Editorials. They have worked for such clients as Radio 1, Gio-Goi and Playstation to name a few.
I find their work very influecial and interesting to look at. I think they give an effective outlook on advertising leaving the viewer captured to the designs they have.

 The images bellow are from the Radio 1xtra launch campaign. I love the clours withing the images.

One minuite Sculptures

The class was given a day task to create interesting image using our bodies. We had to work in groups and half the group were the models and the other half were the photographers. i worked as one of the photographers for this task.

We walked around Burton finding interesting places to shoot our one minuite sculpture. We used placed such as phone boxes, doorways and passage ways etc...

Daniel Stier

I really enjoyed this talk. Daniel Stier was a very friendly man. He seemed nervous at the start but I couldn't blame his as he was standing in front of a lot of teenage faces. Once he got talking about his career and images he seemed to loosen up.

I found his photographs really interesting.

As well as being a renowned advertising photographer he has also taken portraits for various famous people such as Boy George,Helen Mirren and Amy Winehouse to name a few.

He has also done editorials for various magazines such as British Vogue, Dazed and GQ.

Daniel Stier showed us many of his photographs.

Whithin Stier's talk he told us he worked on the Sonia Bravia advert which interested me because thats the line of work I want to go into. The image below is a photograph Stier took for Sony.

The video below is the vinished Sony advert. Stier told us about how they managed to create the advert. He said they had to keep moving the clay bunnies an inch every shot which made me realise the lengths you have to go through to create a knock out advert that will make people interested in the product.

Ed Swinden

As we are currently working on a street photography assignment I found Ed Swinden's talk relevant and interesting.

I didn't really get any inspiration from him though which I was disapointed about after a really inspirational talk from Jon Burgerman.

Swinden focused mainly on his street photography work. He told us about how he would wait for ages to get the right sunlight and setting to produce his images that were shot in Manchester

Whilst giving his talk Swindon seemed very nervous and the talk seemed really rushed through.



John Burgerman.

The Video above is Jon Burgerman at AOL headquaters in America.

John Burgerman came into college on October 6th to give us a talk. I found his talk very interesting and inspirational.  Jon Burgerman studied graphic design at university. I like his work because it is bright and fun to look at.Whilst Jon Burgerman was giving his talk he expressed hiself very well and he was excentric about his work. He was also very friendly and funny and he wore a "Burger man" jumper.After he had visited my college assignments started influenced by Jon Burgerman's style of doodles/cartoons.The Graphic design class began to draw on their classroom white board in the same style as Jon Burgerman.

The image below is an example of Jon Burgerman's work as you can see there is alont to look at within the image and I like that.
