The name of the photograph "Tokyo" is to show where about in the world David Gaberle has taken this picture, my perspective on why he has done this is to show and to give a taste of what Japan's capital city Tokyo is like. Gaberle has taken this picture at a certain angle to get the reflection of the street lights from the ground and the rails on the stairs, with a night time setting only using the street lights as the main light sorce of the picture while it is raining, he has possibly done this to give the viewer of the photograph a nostalgic feeling of going home after along day of work with the calming rain hitting the umbrella to make the viewer feel some sort of connection to the photograph. Japan is a country well known for their respective behavior towards work and organisation, I believe this is what David Gaberle has aimed for within his photograph to give the viewer a view on what Japan, Tokyo is like, the people within this photo have all come prepared for the rain showing they thought ahead of time, also in the background is a constructing site on the road where cones have been equally distributed along the road, I believe David Gaberle has taken this picture the way he has to show his admiration for Japan's organisation through his lenses. 

How the lighting of this picture is used is amazing and something I would like to add my own twist to in my own photography. ]]> 2018-07-02 12:17:23 UTC https://padlet.com/cameron_ferguson_001/3sz2rh5us315/wish/269154501 cameron_ferguson_001 https://padlet.com/cameron_ferguson_001/3sz2rh5us315/wish/269154502 http://www.bjp-online.com/2017/04/photobook-metropolight-by-david-gaberle/

I believe Gaberle names his pictures after the city they have been taken in to summarize what he see the city to be like, for example this picture beautifully shows the common anti social behavior normally found on trains in Seoul, in my opinion this tells me that Gaberle wishes for more of a social environment through this picture; This to me is what makes the picture, everyone who is on their phone, looking away from one and another, and not making eye contact with anyone else are blurred out and all look quite similar due to their clothing being boring and grey, to show as if they are all the same not willing to make convocation or too self involved with their technology; The main part of the image that is not blurred is an elderly women with a bright yellow jacket, not following the crowd of people in their dull work clothes, she clearly stands out from the rest of the people on the train and seems to be the only one making eye contact with the camera acknowledge someone else's presence on the train as if she wants to engage in convocation. 

Gaberle's work with the camera's blur to make the viewer of the photo focus on certain aspects of the photograph to tell a story of sort is clever and interesting way to give the photo context this is something I am very much interested in implementing in my own work with photography.]]> 2018-07-02 12:17:24 UTC https://padlet.com/cameron_ferguson_001/3sz2rh5us315/wish/269154502 cameron_ferguson_001 https://padlet.com/cameron_ferguson_001/3sz2rh5us315/wish/269154925 http://www.davidgaberle.com/about
David Gaberle described as "one of the most successful Instagram take overs for the photographer's gallery in London" is an amazing street photographer with great talent. Gaberle started his journey of photography in 2012 and brought a Fujifilm X100 along with his very first photobook. Gaberle moved to London in 2013 and used photography as an outlet to "ease the experience" of the city, he also stated "it gives me the illusion that I'm in control" which means to me when looking at his work it's as if I'm see a glimpse into his personal life, like the cameras lenses is his perspective it's self. 2015 is the year Daivd Gaberle became an official Fujifilm X-Photographer he also travailed the world taking picture for example of the countries hes been to Greece, Georgia and Japan.]]> 2018-07-02 12:23:07 UTC https://padlet.com/cameron_ferguson_001/3sz2rh5us315/wish/269154925 cameron_ferguson_001 https://padlet.com/cameron_ferguson_001/3sz2rh5us315/wish/269287081 David Gaberle

Philip-Lorca diCorcia started working on his Hollywood series between 1990 and 1992 where he paid prostitutes, hustlers, and drug addicts to pose in an environment where he thought they best suited for his photograph, he titled each picture with the name of his subject, as well as how much he paid them to sit for the photograph.
diCoria has used two types of cameras through out being a photographer a Linhof Technika 23 and a Mamiya RZ.

The photograph seems to be showing two men in a bus stop waiting but the photo mainly seems to be focusing on one man facing in the direction the photo was taken from, by diCorcia using a slower shutter speed so the cars are blurred in the back ground, it gives a sense of motion to the picture as if time is moving forward still with the man just sitting there; personally what comes to mind when looking at diCoria's photograph is that the man is pondering about something, becasue he is looking off into the distance forgetting about his surroundings with cars passing by. ]]> 2018-07-05 18:54:42 UTC https://padlet.com/cameron_ferguson_001/3sz2rh5us315/wish/269498767 cameron_ferguson_001 https://padlet.com/cameron_ferguson_001/3sz2rh5us315/wish/269498990 Philip-Lorca diCorcia

Philip-Lorca diCorcia took this photograph when doing his Hollywood series; diCorcia named this picture about where and when it was taken, who was in the picture, along with how old they were and how much they was paid to be in the photograph.

Philip-Lorca diCoria has taken an incredible picture and I especially like how he mixes reality and stages parts of it to give a surprisingly "spontaneous looking" photograph; diCoria has has mixed artificial lighting in certain areas such as the drink in front of the man has a flashbulb either inside or behind it to give a glowing like effect; also by taking a closer look at the photograph the man seems to have a light in his hand to seem has if the lighting around him is illuminating off of him.

I'm fascinated with how Philip-Lorca diCorcia has chosen where to put his artificial lighting to make if look natural enough where the average viewer wouldn't be able to tell if its purposefully there or not.

Looking at the photograph it seems that Philip-Lorca diCorcia has taken this photo either in the morning or early afternoon, further viewing the photograph it seems diCorcia has lowered the satiation of the photograph as nice effect to possibly imply the atmosphere of the environment in the picture is dull. 

Philip-Lorca diCorcia took this photograph in Japan, Tokyo. diCorcia when taking this photo waited for the perfect moment in the city to capture his ideal photograph, in the picture it shows many people dressed smart and ready for work but it has been taken to seem as if it is focusing the viewers attention to a man and a women dressed very casually, with the mans shirt being unbuttoned and the women wearing a baby blue vest shirt with a mini skirt; Their body langue is also very casual as the man has is hand in his pocket, with the women very lightly holding onto his wrist, they also seem to be walking in the opposite direction from the crowd as if to show they are different from everyone else like the path they walk in life is very different from the average person.

I take a liking to how Philip-Lorca diCorcia has played with the satiation to set a mood for the photograph, if I apply this to my work I can increase the satiation to make the photo have more of a vibrant feeling to it or lower it to give more of a dull feeling.  ]]> 2018-07-05 19:06:59 UTC https://padlet.com/cameron_ferguson_001/3sz2rh5us315/wish/269499449 cameron_ferguson_001 https://padlet.com/cameron_ferguson_001/3sz2rh5us315/wish/269626365 Philip-Lorca diCorcia

I've also noticed within her photographs when it comes to colours she typically likes to use primary colours, and if she doesn't use primary colours its usually a lighter version of the colour, like a mint green or a baby blue; this is to possibly help the colours be boulder when making the contrast higher.  ]]> 2018-07-08 15:30:48 UTC https://padlet.com/cameron_ferguson_001/3sz2rh5us315/wish/269661378 cameron_ferguson_001 https://padlet.com/cameron_ferguson_001/3sz2rh5us315/wish/269661383 Alex Prager]]> 2018-07-08 15:30:53 UTC https://padlet.com/cameron_ferguson_001/3sz2rh5us315/wish/269661383 cameron_ferguson_001 https://padlet.com/cameron_ferguson_001/3sz2rh5us315/wish/269661407 2018-07-08 15:31:22 UTC https://padlet.com/cameron_ferguson_001/3sz2rh5us315/wish/269661407 cameron_ferguson_001 https://padlet.com/cameron_ferguson_001/3sz2rh5us315/wish/269661410 The main reasons I gravitated towards Shirley Bakers work while at the Photographer's Gallery isn't just becasue of how she tells a story through the people with in the photographs but also how she tells a story through the buildings in her photographs too such as, where the working-class children live and play, what life is like for the working class families and what the environment is like in general, I believe this photograph by Baker is a perfect representation. ]]> 2018-07-08 15:31:27 UTC https://padlet.com/cameron_ferguson_001/3sz2rh5us315/wish/269661410 cameron_ferguson_001 https://padlet.com/cameron_ferguson_001/3sz2rh5us315/wish/269661413 2018-07-08 15:31:31 UTC https://padlet.com/cameron_ferguson_001/3sz2rh5us315/wish/269661413 cameron_ferguson_001 https://padlet.com/cameron_ferguson_001/3sz2rh5us315/wish/269661414 2018-07-08 15:31:33 UTC https://padlet.com/cameron_ferguson_001/3sz2rh5us315/wish/269661414 cameron_ferguson_001 https://padlet.com/cameron_ferguson_001/3sz2rh5us315/wish/269661472 While at the Eden Gallery in London I saw a few different pieces of work that didn't patriotically relate to my work but I thought I could draw certain elements from them to possibly influence my Graphics work.   ]]> 2018-07-08 15:32:44 UTC https://padlet.com/cameron_ferguson_001/3sz2rh5us315/wish/269661472 cameron_ferguson_001 https://padlet.com/cameron_ferguson_001/3sz2rh5us315/wish/271094484 http://shirleybakerphotography.com/bio/

Alex Prager worked three jobs and even when she worked her hardest she was paid the same, Prager always felt like she had more of a creative purpose in life so she went out and searched for it, until Prager stumbled across photographers she said she "obsessed over" also stating that she "never really saw photography as art" only as fashion or Advertising; this is where her interest for photography stemmed from, she wanted to know more it was like "magic" to her. 

Lucy Bourton from It'sNiceThat.com describes Alex Prager's work as "able to make the viewers see the world in its bust but dressed-up glory" which I agree with something about Alex Prager's work catches my attention she shows "normal peoples" day to day life's but makes it "eerily similar" meaning it has a sense of a creepy dole like feeling to it. 

Further more Lucy Bourton also describes Alex Prager's work as "a mix of the real and the staged" which is quite similar to Philip-Lorca diCorcia another photographer who is also well know for mixing reality and staged, he pays real drug dealers and hustlers to be in his photographs where he stages lighting and props; Where they both differ is in execution of real and staged, Alex Prager takes the concept of a real scenario but stages it, but Philip-Lorca diCorcia takes a real situation but stages the scenario.

https://www.britannica.com/technology/dye-transfer-process
Dye-transfer process is a photography technique where three colours are separated from one image, and then put through a process which end with them creating a final image that results with a higher contrast then other photographs from the time period.

Dye-transfer process creates amazing looking high contrast images with rich colours, and unfortunately isn't something that can recreated without investing alot of time, effort and money into making its near to extinct in the modern world of photography.
For my personal work Dye-transfer process is something that caches my eye but isn't something I can do myself so what I plan on doing is trying to recreate the same or look of the Dye-transfer process through photoshop. ]]> 2018-08-28 23:10:40 UTC https://padlet.com/cameron_ferguson_001/3sz2rh5us315/wish/276067540 cameron_ferguson_00 https://padlet.com/cameron_ferguson_001/3sz2rh5us315/wish/289016697 2018-10-04 08:56:49 UTC https://padlet.com/cameron_ferguson_001/3sz2rh5us315/wish/289016697 cameron_ferguson_00 https://padlet.com/cameron_ferguson_001/3sz2rh5us315/wish/291481081 I love the idea of mixing my imagination with reality my idea sparked from the cartoon "Who framed Roger rabbit" ]]> 2018-10-10 20:57:02 UTC https://padlet.com/cameron_ferguson_001/3sz2rh5us315/wish/291481081 cameron_ferguson_00 https://padlet.com/cameron_ferguson_001/3sz2rh5us315/wish/291483912 2018-10-10 21:09:44 UTC https://padlet.com/cameron_ferguson_001/3sz2rh5us315/wish/291483912
