… I came across this very strange ad with a rather realistic image ‘printed’ on a cake. I can only say Happy Birthday indeed and happy picture eating…

These are images taken during my research at the Grange Village in Gloucestershire, I have selected this place to document for the Unit 1.1 assignment. It’s a community of around 80 people, living together, work, enjoy and create a purposeful meaning in society. It’s a place where people with learning disabilities and special needs find access to a harmonious life style, education, work and the arts. At the Grange knowledge is generated and shared based on the antroposophical philosophy by Rudolf Steiner - cosmos, nature, evolution, humans, animals - nothing is left out. [Read More]

… what is happening to you? A beautiful spring day in the UK, on our way to the land of north - Liverpool. The train journey takes about 2 hours, plenty of time to read the newspaper. Liverpool football club is on “sale”. Clegg - the new Obama? Possible coalition? Goldman Sachs fraud… yes, we all know that the bankers heads won’t roll in the end, more news from the volcano, etc… We are shortly arriving in Liverpool was the announcement on the “Emporio Brandson” Virgin train.

Ahhh, it is getting warmer on the British Isles and it is a pleasure to go outside. Blue sky, birds singing and a wheely bin parked wrongly.

Now this assignment is like the stepping stone - combining the single shots we previously worked on, into a story. I really like to create a visual narrative, not that I find it easy to do, but I have looked forward to get input on this matter. So, there I was my brain turning around ideas not being able to decide in which direction I want to go… There is Ridley Road Market, Buddhist Center, issues around Photography in public spaces, Open Wireless Network (OWN)… I read into all the subjects, tried to come up with shooting scripts, took some pictures, nothing really convincing.

For this assignment we were asked to step away from the observer position and to actually take control of the situation. Portraiture is a fascinating subject - I really like to put the people in the “right light”, by that I mean to use available light correctly, play & experiment with it. We were also asked to experiment with Portraiture as such and create a ‘quirky’ version of our sitters. [Read More]
