Gallery visit
- How to Win at Photography: Image-Making as Play is an open invitation to reconsider photography via the act of experimenting with - and breaking - the game's rules and to take into account who is playing whom. Visitors are prompted to think about issues like: Are we playing with the camera, or is the camera playing us? What part do we play in the photographic system? In a bigger social and cultural network, are we just pawns? What can a jovial photographer actually accomplish? Who can eventually "win" this game, though?
- How to Win at Photography, which includes work from over 30 international artists, challenges the purpose and intent of photography as we know it.
- the exhibition, which examines the connections between photography, image-making, and play, encourages viewers to pay attention to the playful aspects of visual culture and forges unexpected links between the history of photography and the image-making techniques used in computer games and broader digital screen culture.
Also, upload images from the internet so we can see the photographs more clearly.
Succes Criterea
- try different compositions
- make sure that the part you will edit the image to is contained within the frame
Building Fragments
Patrick Cornillet
- Patrick Cornillet is a painter who painted buildings and architectural elements isolated from their environment. Normally parts of the buildings/structures were missing, on a white background. Cornillet alters his paintings that way to draw attention to parts of the buildings that were normally overlooked, and The concrete makes us aware of the material and of the remains left by the humans and of time passing by.He choses to represent plain concrete structures or institutional buildings. The way he paints the buildings makes them mesmerising to look at
- I had to capture the buildings from different angles with little to no foreground visible in the photo whilst capturing perspective aswell. I also had to make sure that the images were well exposed and in focus.

Brodbeck
- Mauren Brodbeck who is a multisensory artist and singer-songwriter from Switzerland mixes visual and aural components to produce striking reimaginings of everyday items and events. Her multifaceted artworks inspire the viewer to leave their secure and comfortable reality and reevaluate their interactions with the people and surroundings around them.
- At the Collège de Saussure in Geneva, where she concentrated on the visual arts—drawing, painting, photography, sculpture, and videography—Brodbeck received her first arts education. She spent several years on the Pacific West Coast after graduating, first obtaining a diploma in film production at the Vancouver Film School in Canada, and later obtaining a Bachelor of Fine Arts in photography from Pasadena's Art Center College of Design.
- She attracted worldwide notice as a student at ArtCenter when a committee from the Musée de l'Elysée in Lausanne, Switzerland, chose her work for inclusion in the first "reGeneration, 50 Photographers of Tomorrow" global travelling show. A solo show with the J.J. Heckenhauer gallery, continued representation with the Lumas Editions Gallery, and inclusion in a number of art fairs, such as Photo Miami, Paris Photo, and the Berliner Liste, were all made possible by the attention she gained.

WWW:
- chose colours well as Brodbeck uses bright colours and the colours contrast the background, good composition and whole building is in shot which creates a surreal effect
- some of the images were out of focus, and in some pictures some of the buildings goes off the edge.
- A lot of the pictures were repetitive so I have to take pictures from different angles

Chris Killip
Chris Killip was born i on the Isle of Man; he documented the lives of those who were affected by economic changes in the North of England throughout the 1970s-80s.
Frequently, he depicts contrasting sceneries as well as powerful and detailed facial expressions. Most people in the pictures look directly at the camera which gives a more powerful a real tone to the photos. For example two girls Grangetown, 1976.
He was inspired by steelworks.He also uses models names in the pictures as well as lots of animals in his pictures and the close ups used were great at showing peoples emotions and facial expressions which illustrates the impact that the economic shifts had on people. For example Alison and the little dog, 1983.

ANASTASIA SAVINOVA
- Anastasia Savinova photographs streets and mountain passes, encounters on the road and off-road are a rich source of visual information such as form, colour and texture; at the same time, all the encountered environments contain something incorporeal.
- 1988 birth in the Soviet Union in the Ural Mountains. She is a multidisciplinary artist who has been based in Sweden since 2013. Her artistic endeavours include performance, text, film, sound, and collage.Her training in architecture has made her a lover of construction and building. She loves to hike in the mountains and is greatly affected and inspired by nature. She uses a phenomenological method to investigate the environment, both natural and man-made.
- Each piece Savinova produces is a visual record in which a single image distils the spirit and mood of a destination. She wanders, watches, and records.She explores, taking in the atmosphere of places while trying to picture them. She is a mountain hiker and city flâneur. Streets, mountain passes, and on- and off-road interactions are excellent sources of visual information.
- She explores, taking in the atmosphere of places while trying to picture them. She is a mountain hiker and city flâneur. Streets, mountain passes, on- and off-road interactions are all rich sources of visual data like shape, colour, and texture, but they also hold something intangible. The guardian spirit of a place was known as genius loci by the ancient Romans. Each component of the project is made up of a number of images of real, authentic structures and landscape formations from the area being investigated. These pieces serve as custodians of the location's memory and soul.

Laurence Demaison
Laurence Demaison is a photographer and visual artist, born in 1965 in France. She graduated from the Strasbourg School of Architecture in 1988. Her first approaches to photography took place in the early 1990s. Her photographic work is exclusively consisting of self-portraits from 1993 to 2009. She also wrote a book.
She doesn't edit her photos much, the manipulation of her subjects is all done through physical means such as water.
The photographic work of Laurence Demaison is exclusively constituted by self-portraits from 1993 to 2009. Since 2010 she occasionally uses mannequins or dolls. The used techniques – shot, development, print – are analogicals and realized by the author. No particular manipulation intervenes beyond the shot (except chemical inversion of films for some series)

Second Development
In this development I used the work of Bill Jacobson.
Bill Jacobson
Bill Jacobson (b. 1955, Norwich, Connecticut) is widely known for his out of focus photographs of both the figure and the landscape. His work is in the collections of the Guggenheim Museum, the Metropolitan Museum, the Whitney Museum, the Victoria and Albert Museum, and many others. In 2012, he was the recipient of a fellowship from the John Simon Guggenheim Foundation.
He began his signature, indistinct images in 1989, and has since been exhibiting in galleries and museums throughout the US and Europe. These early works, titled Interim Portraits, feature shadowy, pale figures that evoke the loss experienced by many during the height of the AIDS epidemic. The blurred subjects underline the futility of capturing a true human likeness in both portraiture and memory.
Jacobson’s subsequent Song of Sentient Beings continued this interest in the defocused figure. In contrast to the bleached luminosity of his earlier work, this series depicts deep-black backgrounds enveloping ghostly figures, which bend, sleep, stretch and howl. Towards the mid-1990s, he completed the Thought Series, an almost monochromatic evocation of the flow of life. These depict a broad spectrum of subjects, from tightly cropped faces and articles of clothing, to fields of grass and surfaces of water. bill jacobson 1989-1997, published by Twin Palms, is a survey of work from this nine year period.

My response
What is your intention? Is it more than just appearance? Is it about identity?
My images express my intentions which were to convey a dramatic as well as a haunting essence to create discomfort to the viewers and make it seem like they're in a nightmare

WWW:
My images express my intentions which were to create a sinister edge through the facial expressions and shadows being warped thus creating a dramatic effect and it gives a mysterious aura to the figure
EBI:
Using diverse models would make the photographs more interesting and produce a better overall result, and if the lighting was better and more spread out in certain pictures rather than just in one location.

Third Development
Saul Leiter
In his teenage years in Pittsburgh, the American artist Saul Leiter (1923–2013) fell in love with both painting and photography. His imaginative vision and unwavering dedication to his artistic practise propelled him to become one of the iconic photographers of the mid-twentieth century after he moved to New York City in 1946. He was a lifelong student of art of all types due to an instinctive sense of curiosity, and he maintained this spirit of discovery and spontaneity throughout his lengthy career, in both his fashion photographs and his personal work.
Leiter has been prominently featured in solo museum and gallery shows in the U.S. and Europe. His works are held in prestigious public and private collections, including those of the Whitney Museum of American Art, the Milwaukee Art Museum, the Yale University Art Gallery, the Museum of Modern Art, the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston, the Art Institute of Chicago, the Baltimore Museum of Art, the Victoria and Albert Museum, the National Gallery of Australia, and others.

Fifth Development
Erwin Blumenfeld
American-German photographer Erwin Blumenfeld is best recognised for his journalistic images, avant-garde fine art pieces, and portraits of famous people. The artist frequently blended black-and-white imagery with little sections of vivid colour in both his independent and commissioned works. He is also frequently linked to the satirical series Hitler, Face of Terror, which focused on the dictator's excessively bloody rule. Blumenfeld, who was born in Berlin, Germany, on January 26, 1897, spent his formative years working as an amateur photographer.
The artist started working professionally after World War I, and Henri Matisse and Georges Rouault portraits brought him worldwide recognition. He started working for French Vogue in 1937, and because to the photo assignments he did with Josephine Baker and rose to fame thanks to his photo assignments with Carmen Dell'Orefice and Josephine Baker. Due to his Jewish origin, the artist was detained by the Nazis in a concentration camp for two years during World War II. He was eventually liberated in 1941 and was able to come to New York to find employment. He was in high demand for editorial picture projects and the best paid photographer in the world in the years following World War II. Blumenfeld passed away in Rome, Italy, on January 4, 1969. The Museum of Modern Art in New York, the Berlinische Galerie in Berlin, and the Riksmuseum in Amsterdam all presently have collections of his work.
