Rodchenko

After having the interim crit where we presented our blogs and talked about our photoshot and all the ideas i felt less confident than before. I think having the project over easter has made it difficult as many people go home, and have lots of different things going on. We decided to do our shoot before easter which left us with nearly 3 weeks to choose the final images, edit and choose layouts and have the images sent off for printing. I felt our shoot and our narrative is alot stronger than our first project, i don't feel the crit helped our group, i think it made us all over-think what we had done and how it really didn't show our narrative throught the images.

One photographer we have been told to look at that may give us more inspiration was Alexander Rodchenko. He was a Russian designers, who started out as a graphic designer and then moved on to photography and photomontage.


 "One has to take several different shots of a subject, from different points of view and in different situations, as if one examined it in the round rather than looked through the same key-hole again and again." - Rodchenko
