Hi,
I hope anyone can help me. In two weeks I need to give a presentation about a photographer and his work for a course I'm taking at the moment. A while ago I browsed the internet and stumbled on a photographer whos work I really liked, but can't for the life of me remember his name. He (or she) shoots mostly domestic scenes, which always seem a bit contrived. Usually there are several people on them, and the ones on the foreground are always cropped in a weird way (only showing the legs and a piece of newspaper or so). The people are always doind some trivial thing, like reading, knitting or hanging painting their nails. The colors are sharp, but always a bit toned down, and the contrast is rather high. I always get a surreal feeling when looking at those pictures.
One picture I can remember vividly: there are four or five people on them, one of them is knitting or so. The scene is on some porch, and there is a child hanging over a low wall, looking away. There is one person in the foreground with his back to the camera reading a newspaper, cropped in such way that you only see his legs and the headlines of the paper.
Does anyone know of which photographer I'm talking? |
