Diary- (A)Same old, same old...
Why I choose the theme 'diary'
I like the idea of 'diary' because I like keeping dairies with me and I have looked at some photographers like Bill Brandt and Jimmy Owens and I've seen the way that they keep their diary's. They take photos of everyday life and it looks interesting, because I have thought of doing something like this before and eventually I have seen what I have been thinking about.

My plan for my theme:
Bill BrandtBrant was born on may 2 in Hamburg. He painted a family house when he was 14 in 1918.
Brant met Man-Ray and he was an artist, In parris for several months during 1930 and worked with him, though out that he was influence by his photographs he also liked taking photos in the night time and the effects of his photo's was always black and white. Brandt write a book called 'the night in London', he also took photo in the night time and he explain about the book. Brant took more photos that were linked to different events like 'Blackout and blitz' this photo was linked to the beginning of the war in 1936, when he was back in London and he thought the place looked really beautiful so he took a shot of the place. He also took another photo that was linked to 'Literary Britain' this photo was linked to when he was at a landscape and he waited for the seasons to be the right weather, wether it was day or night to get the perfect photo. |
looI have chosen this image because, as I look through his photos I can see that he takes pictures of other peoples lives instead of his life and the impact that this has on me is that it shows what a daily life as a big servant. Bill Brandt wanted to write a book about being a Big servant and this would also be good for people who wants to know what its like being a servant. When I look at this photo that I have chosen, it gives me an imagination of what life was like back then and the black and white filter makes look more effective. |
My pictures taken outside of school.
These are the photo's that I have been taking outside of school so far. As you can see most of my photo's are dark, the reason I have done this is because I think that it looks more attractive and interesting. Also you can see that most of my photos involves trees, I think trees make the view of the sky or place look really good, but mostly the sky when it is sunset. Most of my photo's have some added effect, I just personally think that normal photos without effect look boring most of the time, for me it just depends on the way you have taken the photo e.g. if the photo is in focus.
Ann RosenerRosener was born in november 26 1914 and died may 19 2012.
From about June 1941 until June 1943, she made photographs for the Farm Security Administration. Rosener was involved with the security Administration, which was when the big depression was happening and there was a war, the government said they would pay her money to do this so she went around and took pictures of poor families that were living on the street and other people as well, This was to show us how much had been going on, also to show how much people suffered during the big depression. The government also asked a lot of people to go around to different places to take photos. The have chosen the picture (which is just below the gallery pictures), because the composition of the photo is very good, the camera angle is very straight, so we can see where the photo has been taken. The photo effect shows that it is an old photo that has been taken before also with a different type of camera and not the type that we use today. |
Esther BubleyEsther was born on February 16th 1921 in the united states
She was an American photographer who took photos of people in everyday life. She started photography in High school then developed in college for 2 years. When she was 20, she became a professional photographer in New York. All the photo that Esther takes are cultural as an artist interest. When I look through her photos they make me feel like I am involved/inside the photo, because her photos look very fastinating as they can connect with the emotions that I feel when I look at her photos. The photo that I have chosen by Esther is this photo because of the way the photo has been taken and also it shows us what is happening also the black and white effect is in good contrast. This photo has a real connection with my emotions when i look at it and the type of emotion it has on me is, joyful and i feel enthuiasic when I look at it.I also have a feeling that it shows what happens in a room like that with people living life like that and its natural as well. |
Jimmy Owens
Jimmy was born on December 9th 1943 in New York, united states. Jimmy is 72 years.
He has been coing his photographic diary from 2001-2002 and he still does today and it functions different things swell. When people look at his diary they think that its fimalier but you can see that it has been used. When I look at his photos the impact that his photos have on me, is they make me want to find out more of what is in his diary and it makes me feel like I want to know what other photos that he has taken in his diary. Overall his diary seems fascinating to me. I have chosen this image by Jimmy Owens because I like the fact that it shows one page of his diary that he has chosen, but I also like the fact that his pictures can move as you move your mouse onto them, but i couldn't find a way to upload that on here. On this photo that I have chosen, I find it intresting because it has images of his own that he has been taking. |
some of my own photos taken in school:
set 1/2
set 2/2 (taken outside of school)
I got this photo from pintrest and I found this image and I liked it because it it was linked to what I was doing as I was taking photo's trees and leaves, also this image is a little bit dark, the effect and quality is very good.
I think that I will start to make my photo's look much more like this, also with a person inside of it, to make the photo look more interesting.

These are the photos that I have taken over a week or so and I have come out with loads of good photos especially of viraties of interesting images. The reason I have decided to take these type of images is because I though that it might be more interesting and also because of the effect that they would have on them.
Stephanie Shore
From looking at Stephanie Shore and what she has done, I find her pictures interesting because she's taking photos of whats he does everyday and this includes what she eat, past, sees also the who's she with and the environment. I also personally think that her works are quite better than the other artist that I've seen because this is more like a diary as you write in a diary but this one is more visible and theres is proof of whats she has done.
By looking at her work I have decided token

The day in the life of Audrey...
WWW:
what I have done here is taken photos of literally anything everyday and i have done this for 1 week without stopping, and it was quite challenging for me because I wasn't doing this fluidity before, as I would stop and maybe miss a day or even forget, but from looking at Stephanie shore, i have learn't a lot from her, because before I kept thinking that my photo's have to look good and the quality of the photo must be good so overall I personally think that Stephanie has taught me a lot about taking photos everywhere you go and where you are as its part of diary.
EBI:
I think I need to take more photo so that I can have enough for my final image, also I need to make sure that I am taking photos at all times and not just some specific times. i also need to be making sure that iI am taking photo's outside e.g. the environment.

The reason i've got these 3 photo's out is because while I have looked through my photos that I have been taking until now I and I relies that I've taken some photo's of food most of the time and I think that this is the biggest part of my life right now because I love working with food and making them.d
More of my diary pictures:
through out this week I have taken around 50+ and What I have planned to do with these photo's is I will choose 30 or more of my best photo's, print them out in A5 and mount them on my final photo. Once I have done this I will display it on the wall.
Down below are some of my images that I have chosen to put as display for my final image, I have chosen these because I think they are really good and clear image.
What i've done with the images are like I said before, i'll print it out in A5 but then I''' cut them out into a size that is bigger than the circles that I will cut on my final image. Once I've done this

My final set of images:
Some of these images are new and they are the photos that I have taken through out the last week or so. While I was taking theses photos I tried to get my best shot and a good angle in my photos as well as I could. My actual last bit of image was taken around my house, this was done the night before when I had no time and I slightly ran out of time while trying to take the best shots that I could.
