I see no reason for recording the obvious.

Eileen Quinlan
Eileen Quinlan took a wide range of pictures of every distinctive surface. In some of her pictures she focussed on the texture however for the most part she was simply attempting to demonstrate every distinctive sort of surfaces. A large portion of her pictures had brilliant hues and many lines and shapes inside them which made every last bit of her pictures very attractive. Inside these pictures she chooses to take her pictures at all extraordinary points to make some of them additionally fascinating and confounding, her creation isn't in one place all the time she's always showing signs of change the way she takes a photograph making every last bit of her pictures altogether different from each other and additionally different craftsmen. |
Jaromir Funke
Funke was born in Skute; he studied medicine, law, and philosophy at the Charles University in Prague and the University of Bratislava but did not graduate and instead turned to photography. Funke was recognized for his work with mirrors, lights, and insignificant objects, such as plates, bottles, or glasses, to create unique works; he also played with shadows creating abstract images that reminded people of photograms.Funke’s work would often feature the "dynamic diagonal" and his work was thought to be original, logical and expressive of nature. Funke work represents many styles and subjects. He uses composition to create shadows and these shadows shape the light as well as integrating the light to create amazing photographic opportunities. His photography is based on the shapes of different objects and the angles he places them at/ takes the photo at as this gives us a idea of the surfaces of objects and creates and more real effect. He uses close ups to look at different textures of objects. |
Owen Kydd
Owen Kydd explores the relationship between still and moving images. The majority of the works you see here are short video loops played on custom screens that mimic light boxes; Kydd refers to them as “durational photographs.” More than anything else, his art is about the passage of time, a key part of the photographic process for Kydd. His pieces are stripped of story, instead focusing on a single object as an event in time. This approach results in artworks that exist somewhere between static and moving images, pushing the boundaries of both. |
David Benjamin Sherry
"I shoot 4 x 5 film and print in a colour darkroom in New York. This is the case for all of my work. The photographs are all analogue – there's no digital manipulation and no computer used. I'm interested in these final days of film photography, and the areas still uncharted within the medium." Sherry's images of natural forms - rocks, trees and water - are often epic in scale and yet, despite the un-naturalistic colours that bathe his subjects, there is a close attention paid to the surface reality of the world. |
Letha wilson
Wilson claims that on there own her images are nothing special and are just simple photos that can be taken by anyone who goes on vacation and sees a pretty landscape or obscure rock. However, when subjected to physical processes, such as being cut, pleated or bisected her images become an abstract representation of the landscapes most visual and sensory effect. By cutting into images she created a more rugged and realistic effect of the landscape. Also by folding and pleating the images she makes a 3D effect of the leaves coming out on top of each other which is also a lot more realistic. Wilson gives a really good idea of surface as she makes physical changes because the images seems more real and by looking at the images the physical changes catch the eye. These make the audience want to view more of the work and also try to capture and change images like she does. |
Manipluted image based on Letha Wilson's work
I accomplished this photograph by joining two of my photographs of flowers together. I took one photograph and cut strips out and I painted it in different colours while sticking each other strip onto the second photograph to make the photograph look like Letha Wilson's work. |
For this multiplication, I printed 2 images of the same flower (one in colour and one in black and white).Then I cut the coloured photograph into strips and stuck it onto the black and white picture. I think this makes the image look different and creates contrast.

Edward Weston
Weston was born in March 1886 in Highland Park, Illinois, United States. He started photography at the age of 12 when he got his first camera from his dad. Weston photographed an increasingly wide range of subjects, including landscapes, still lives, nudes, portraits, genre scenes and even whimsical parodies. |
Edward Weston Critique
This is a black and white image of a cabbage leaf with a black background and the veins that stand out as the light hits them. Also I can see the main stem and the uneven shapes around the edges. The words I would use to describe this photograph is unrealistic, usual and unique.I would describe this image as a naturalistic because it is a close-up of vegetable that shows its texture.
Weston used vegetables and transferred it to look completely different by the use of photographic techniques. The black and white image of a cabbage shows contrast between the parts of the cabbage where light shines (along the middle) and where it doesn’t. Also in the picture the cabbage is upside down which is unique in itself as that is rarely seen. The picture seem to have been darken a little to create more depth to the image. The black background used make the cabbage stand out even more highlighting and projecting the cabbage than it normally would. |

My Chosen Images
The image is of a skull. To capture the image I used a torch and the flash was off which allowed me to capture different values in the skull (light and dark).The torch was shone from the side so it made the background dark and left the skull in focus. This allowed me to maintain the unique texture of the surface of the skull.

With the photograph of the apple I used a touch which was shone from the top which created a shiny and a smooth surface. Also the shadow was made very apparent through this process. However i wanted to create a greater contrast so I decided to turn the image black and white which added empathises to the light and the shadows in the image.
