An introduction...

Now then, welcome to another blog from yours truly. This new brief consists of three assignments, for the first one we had to randomly pick a photographers name, go away and research into their work a little to create a 5 minute presentation to find the oeuvre of the chosen one. 

To do so we have to research the following:

What is their approach/What tradition does their work belong to?

What is their work about? 

How is their work made? What equipment/techniques do they use?

Where have they published their work (books, galleries, magazines etc)?

The photographer I chose is Stephen Gill. On researching his work I can say I'm not really over the moon about having his work but ah well, needs must and all that. I have found one series of work that I think I can work pretty well with though, it's called 'Covered or Removed' and it documents walls, fences and any other surfaces that have been graffiti damaged and painted over in order to look 'presentable'.

Living in an area what has certain hotspots for graffiti I think I can relate to and cover this work quite easily. Just have to see how the next assignment pans out, and on that note I shall leave it there....
