Parliament Of Owls: Jack Latham

-


Jack Latham is a British photographer who is well known for being the author of many photo books. Latham's most recent work being Latent Bloom, which was created using algorithms. 

During my visit to the exhibition I took some photos of the images I found interesting that were being displayed.



I felt that many of Jack Latham's images sat well with the time that we are living in, as they are political and also the masks in some of the photographs are fitting to what is going on in the world now. For me it felt like these images describes what is going on in the world. 

It was strange going to a gallery in these times, having to wear a mask and we had to book a slot which meant we only had thirty minutes to look at the images but during that time I saw everything and I enjoyed myself very much. It was fun going to a exhibition as I hadn't been to one since our exhibition was in Oriel Colwyn, so it was interesting seeing the work on display as it was a lot different to when ours was on. 

I like the fact that all he images that were being displayed were in a large scale, they were all black and white and had nice thick brown frames.

Premiere Pro

I have downloaded Premiere Pro and I have installed it onto my computer. I have discovered some of the articles on the website which I feel will help me when building my video.  One of the articles I have found suggests that a video is all about the way in which you tell the story.  It states on the article that one of the best ways to engage with your audience is by adding emotion. I am going to be doing this in my own video, there will be sound and images that in my opinion will raise emotions, some good and some bad. It also states that the audience will lose interest if there are gaps in the story, this makes sense as some people can often lose interest if they can't quite work out what is going on.  This article has been helpful, I feel I have an understanding now that when I create my video I need to try and ensure that the story has a start, end and a middle, when it comes to my video I have thought about perhaps having the negative stuff at the start, for example the polic

Interests and Inspirations

I have been researching different photographers to gain an understanding of other styles and to see if I can take inspiration within my own work. I will briefly go through a few photographers that I am interested in. I want to look at their styles within their photographs so I have kept the information simple.  Adam Friedman documented the people within the club scene whilst living in London and New York capturing the Acid Jazz party goers. Adam Friedmans images caught my attention because of the text that has been added onto the photograph, not to mention the beautiful lighting. In all his pictures a bit of text has been added, it baffled me to say the least because at first I thought perhaps there were descriptions of the people in the images but then some of them did not make sense, so from what I have seen, I am thinking that they are the names of the clubs that the people are in. This to me is a very interesting aspect that adds mystery to his photography.  Adam Friedman's pho
