My Idea For My Single Image

For my single image I'm going to take photos of Baker Street in the town of Middlesbrough. Baker Street was a street full of houses before then the houses got boarded up and the street was closed down for a bit then a few years later the council gave money for the streets new image and they used the houses houses for shops, cafes, hairdressers and so on.

Duane Michals

Duane Michals

Duane Michals is an American photographer Michals work makes innovative use of photo-sequences often incorporating text to examine emotion and philosophy. In the 1960s Duane Michals worked as a freelance fashion photographer and portraitist while his artistic work began to address literally and philosophical ideas about death gender and sexuality. Working with staged scenes he experimented with multiple exposures sequences and drawings with his images.

Robert Frank

Robert Frank

Robert Frank is an important figure in American photography and film. His most notable work the 1958 book titled The Americans was influential and earned Frank comparisons to a modern-day de Tocqueville. It was fifty years ago that Robert Frank released his iconic and historical work The Americans. Robert Frank’s work is now widely considered an important intimate peak inside small-town America but originally it was not met with open arms by all- at the time of release many of the images were considered controversial while other critics just outright dismissed his work as a blurry mess of nothingness.

Tom Hunter

Tom Hunter

Tom hunter is a London based artist working in photography and film. His series of photos Life and Death in Hackney paints a landscape creating a melancholic beauty out of the post-industrial decay where the wild buddleia and sub-cultural inhabitants took root and bloomed. This maligned and somewhat abandoned area became the epicenter of the new warehouse rave scene of the early 90s. During this time the old print factories, warehouses and workshops became the playground of a disenchanted generation taking the DIY culture from the free festival scene and adapting it to the urban wastelands. This Venice of the East End with its canals rivers and waterways made a labyrinth of pleasure gardens and pavilions in which thousands of explorers travelled through a heady mixture of music and drug induced trances 

Jeff Wall

Jeff Wall

Jeff Wall is best known for his large-scale colour transparencies mounted in wall-hung light boxes which combine  the seductive glow of a cinema screen with the physical presence of sculpture. Wall’s works are typified by two approaches which he characterizes as either cinematographic or documentary. For his innovative mise-en-scenes wall has pioneered state of the art film and digital techniques to compose meticulously staged scenes.
