"How to make the viewer react to a photograph"


This was a weird project I did back at AS in 2010.  I discovered that people react a little bit if they like something, a bit more if they find it funny, but most of all if they dont like it.  



Bill Brandt (shown above) was my starting point as I liked his sculptural forms of the body and how he played with perspective.  As I looked into more photographers doing a similar thing, it just got weirder and weirder.  One thing led to another and I ended up here...


My work was very much inspired by Marilyn Minter (shown above) so hopefully there is a strong link between them... 

Below are some examples of my final images with the intention of making you cringe. 




























...Yeah.  Pretty strange...

And on the strange note, I thought Id show you this too... These 3 images below represent a sort of self portrait of me in 2010.  Pretty embarrassing but still nice looking back on it and remembering the meaning behind the pictures.  Interpret them how you like!
