I personally tend to think of long exposures as being 1 or 2 seconds, or maybe a few minutes if using a dark ND filter such as a Lee Big Stopper. Two photographers introduced here take this idea to a whole new level. Hiroshi Sugimoto Sugimoto captures images showing a theatre and an entire film […]

Research: High Speed Image Capture
Introduction I researched this topic to be able to capture my response to Exercise 3.1 – capture a frozen moment in time. I had decided to capture a bursting water balloon. There are several challenges to be faced to capture a perfectly sharp image. I use a Nikon D800 and its fastest shutter speed is […]
Research: Saul Leiter and influence on Colour Street Photography
Research I chose to research Saul when I came across the phrase ‘Instinctively for him, colour was the picture.’ (The Photographers’ Gallery, 2016). This is a phrase I would not have expected to see in an article about street photography and so it caught my attention. My work on this course is all about exploration […]
Research: Garry Winogrand and his photography of crowds
Research The Man I have selected this photographer for specific research because of the work he produced in response to his fellowship award from Guggenheim to investigate the effects that media has on public events. Given the context of media, this tended to mean that he was photographing large events and therefore crowds. His approach […]
Research: Street Photography – Influences for subject of “Crowds”

Whilst undertaking my research I looked into the following photographers: […]

Research: Landscape Photographers Calendar Workshop / Tony Worobiec
I attended the RPS Landscape Photographers Calendar Workshop training course (Worobiec, 2017) to pursue further my interest in photographing landscapes and in particular, to explore further the interest that my studies have triggered in the idea that not all photographs have to have the ‘wow’ magazine cover look in order to have value; in fact […]
Research: A Review of Ruff’s Jpegs by Campney and Colberg

One of his collections is called JPEG, this note discusses two reviews of his work, one by Campney (2008) and one by […]
Research: Landscape Photographer of the Year 2016 Exhibition and Book
Visit On the 2nd Feb 2017 I visited the Landscape Photographer of the Year exhibition that was showing at Waterloo Station. I chose to visit this because if I were to have named a genre of photography that I have most followed before starting this course, it would have been landscape. As well as wanting […]
