Fields and Frames

The fields and frames project is really interesting me. I want to try out a few different ideas, but i'm not really sure how much i want to put on myself considering the dance video. My interests at the moment are photography. I was thinking of this from a practical point of view just because it's something i can easily do on my own, and wouldn't be as time consuming as a full shoot, but i would also like to consider making some kind of film for my portfolio. 
I've done some general research into photography, i've looked through a few books and looked up especially conceptual photography to give me some ideas. 

John William Keedy - It's Hardly Noticeable 
I really like this set of photographs because i have anxiety myself, and i feel like it's a clever way of representing something in a minimal way. It doesn't shove the message in your face, and is extremely relatable to someone like me. 
 

Tim Flach
I firstly found his dog portaits, but on his website, he has a lot more photographs and they're all equally as amazing. I love how he captures animals in a formal setting, most of them seemingly posing in a studio. I love nature photography but this is a very stylised way of capturing animals and i think it looks really good. 

Adam Fuss
I was taken by this photo of the snake in a book, and reading more into Adam's processes in photograms, i am interested in looking into more of his work. 


Uta Barth 
I'm interested in her abstract take on photography. Her photos turn every day locations into light and colour. 
 

Hiroshi sugimoto - seascapes
Again, i love the minimal aspect to these photos. I love how the sea become gradients and shades,  it takes something natural and turns it into something abstract but beautiful.




Bing Wright - Broken Mirror/Evening Sky
I find these photos so beautiful. The way in which the sky can be manipulated in such a simple way really pleases me.
