Narcissi

I never thought it until today that Cindy Sherman and Frida Kahlo have narcissistic tendencies, in Cindy’s case I do not know whether she is very narcissistic or she enjoys being different people in her ‘pictures’. I found this on tumblr I have these  images already in my sketchbook but did not know how to show them without copying and pasting a hoard of them on my blog. I want to try this  STOP MOTION OR GIF for my project.

Saatchi Gallery part deux

I particularly enjoyed the work of tis photographer because of one the scale used to print his/her nudes. I am contemplating doing some nude photography as well but I have to pluck up the courage to do it, I will cover the obvious (bits)

It goes on

I have been feeling a bit deflated with my work at the moment,but alas I have to continue with work. I have started to try and do one drawing or more if I can manage per day. I am not whingeing but I amidst an essay so trying to a drawing per day is tricky whilst trying perfect a pose.

 

I have enjoyed it (sort of) I have been printing some images and doing some manipulation on Photoshop at the same time. I have decided to create a visual research sketchbook because have these images in my sketchbook was not working for me, I felt like my sketchbook was starting to look a bit higgledy piggledy.  I HAVE PUT AN END TO TODAY HURRAH
I have not been able to post thing on my blog because of the lack of internet at my premises, I am in the process of sorting that out at the moment.

Saatchi Gallery part un

Over the weekend I went to London for a bit of inspiration. I wanted to go mainly to the Saatchi gallery partly because of the photographic exhibition called OUT OF FOCUS I was pleased that we were allowed to take pictures of pictures in the gallery (pun) This one was the at ground floor of the gallery.




Seeing these images on a computer screen does not do them any justice they are all printed out on 139.7 x 104.1 cm
The exhibition is on going till the 22nd of July I suggest a visit/trip to London.
These image are by Kate Grannan click HERE  see the rest of the images in the collection by Kate Grannan

Helene Amouzou

Helene Amouzou was born in 1969 in Togo. She now resides in Molenbeek (Brussels) and took classes in photography at the Academy of drawing and visual arts of Molenbeek-Saint-Jean. For over six years, she decided to
return the lens at it systematically.
As she says, she continually photography, mostly in the attic .... What are these incessant self-portraits ?
Body embedded in the walls, shadows, light, movement, metamorphoses, hanging garments, bags, pictures of Helen fortes.On might think are the work of Francesca Woodman ... But the reality is different and each story is different. Perhaps his approach is to try to find, to meet, to certify to exist, because Helen seeks his identity for years. Where does it really? The photos of Helena show a painful question.

Photography

I  took this image  sung a Holga lens and flash and the are the effects.

To get me started with my project I went around Manchester taking pictures of trees, I focused mainly on the skeletal qualities of trees and tried to capture them ant night to see whether the dark background would give them a bit of definition.
