Ideas for Final


Idea 1: Inspired by Kenro Izu Blue Still Life

Mainly nudes, investigation into the human body and movements within it.
All skin photos, experiment with lighting and shadows.
Series - taken all within the same time (all photos look similar)

Kenro Izu, Blue: Still Life 851b, 2001, Cyanotype Over Platinum-Palladium Print

Kenro Izu, Blue: Still Life 838b, 2001, Cyanotype Over Platinum-Palladium Print

Edward Weston, Nude (62N), 1927














































Idea 2: Abstract Portraiture

Portraits without faces, but perhaps environmental portraiture.
Sampled from many different moments (taken over several days)
Strangers in moments - okay if faces are seen.










Book Idea

Minimalist.
White book with one photo per page.
Maybe a word or quote written by it - almost as a title.

Oral Presentation Choice

My photographer of choice is Kenro Izu. He was born in 1949 is Osaka, Japan and started working in New York in 1970. He is primarily a still life photographer who has travelled the world for his work. What interests me is the versatility in his work. He photographs landscapes, portraits and still life that all have their own unique qualities. I find all of his work especially beautiful and his style resonates with me. Some examples of his work includes: Kenro Izu  /  Sacred Within: Bhutan 1  /  2002  /  Platinum-Palladium Print Kenro Izu  /  Sacred Places: Egypt 107  /  1983  /  Gelatin Silver Print Kenro Izu  /  Still Life: Still Life 189  /  1992  /  Platinum-Palladium Print Kenro Izu  /  Blue: Still Life 851b  /  2001  /  Cyanotype Over Platinum-Palladium Print

Reading Assessment 3

Criticizing Photographs By Terry Barrett (Photographs and Contexts: Page 106-126)             This chapter explains that you need to know the context of photos (eg. who took, when taken, where, for what purpose) in order to accurately place them in categories. Context can be internal, original or external. Internal context is when you pay attention to the physical aspects of the photo; you look at the subject matter, the medium, the form and their relationship. You can tell the internal context of a photo just by observing it. Original context is when you know the background behind the photo. You know the meaning or situation or photographer and this context gives the photo much more depth. External context is where the photograph is found or how it is presented. Where a photo can be found affects its context (whether it is found in a magazine, advertisement, museum, etc.). Where a photo is found or its “channel of transmissi...
