Conveying Messages through Photography - My Photography

Sometimes, a photographer will take a photo of something and not have no reason in mind for doing it. The photographer may just be looking for inspiration. But whether the photo is of beautiful scenery or a hobo begging for money outside a train station, every photo has a meaning.

Artist Analysis: Eduard 'Edu' Grau

This is one of the photos taken for the French Connection campaign by Edu Grau. I particularly like this photo in terms of male representation and masculinity because the male model used is the complete opposite to the stereotypical image of a ‘man’ shown in media today.

Artist Study: Eduard 'Edu' Grau.

Does the name Eduard Grau sound familiar? Think French Connection's The Man/ The Woman campaign. Think of the blockbuster A Single Man. Think The Lazarus Effect's '40c a day' campaign. Eduard Grau directed all of these famous film pieces.

Brainstorm 3

My last brainstorm turned out to be all about the 80's and technology. It includes ideas about people & Identity, Technology and sound.

This is the idea that I am going for. It is ambiguous and can be lead in many different directions. I do not know what I want my final piece to be so an idea as wide as this one is perfect for me. Through experiments, practicing and projects, this project could produce something great.

Brainstorm 2

This second brainstorm turned out to be based around paper, structure and colour. I found this idea to be quite interesting. If I took this forward I could do work with paper structures and even coloured paper glued to peoples clothes. I could have a model doing odd shapes and statuesque poses wearing paper etc.

Brainstorm

For me to have an idea/direction I would be happy with I would have to do a few brainstorms. I needed to gather an idea that I could develop and take to extreme lengths. This first brainstorm turned out to be centered around nostalgia & the 60's.

My Final A2 Digital Art Project

For my final project, I want to do some work with gender. I do not know what exactly yet but I am interested in using gender to show representation of different ideas and messages.
