Websites i took inspiration from

  • https://www.megandoherty.com/ - Simplistic colour pallet but very easy to navigate and find relevant information. I was able to find out all the relevant information about her including all the work she has produced and developed which was for herself and commercially. Along with being able to find the information her work was presented in a clear and thought out way that made it not only visually appealing and cohesive with the design.




  • http://www.leestitt.com/ - Easy to navigate and clever layout and design. His work has no relevance to fashion but i really appreciate landscape photography. His work has captured an image so perfectly still you expect it to move as if it was a video on the website. I like the feature that Lee included which was a video about his latest piece which adds a whole level of usage and functionality to the site.


  • https://www.tylermitchell.co/ - For me i really like any website that isn't too over the top with the design and for Tyler Mitchell he has done the same by not overselling his work with a fancy site, but plain and stylish to share whatever information deemed relevant. On the section about some work he has done as you put the mouse over the section it gives you a title as to what that piece of work was for to ensure you fully understand it's intended purpose. For my own site i want to ensure that there is not one moment in which you become confused or lost so a helpful navigation bar, similar to Tylers can help you find everything simple and quick.


 


  • https://laurapannack.com/ - Now Laura is a very well known photographer with a lot of status within the art industry. But i feel as though her website doesn't provide the same level of status she has. Firstly and the biggest annoyance for me is how when you hover your mouse over a title for a section, an image from that section pops up covering part of the page which i find to be very annoying and also look really untidy. Not only is this annoying but it almost covers up other sections of the page making them fairly difficult to read. For me i would take away this feature as it can ruin the layout. Also i find that having writing all over the place at different angles can be hard to read but also can be missed if you don't know that its there. On my site i want people to find my work simply and fast and when you have to hunt for the icons to do this, then i believe that the site is not operating at it's full potential. However, this is all my own justification and it purely comes down to taste of design, but i feel as though her site just doesn't work well.

Galleries Research

  Commercial These are classed as businesses with the main goal of achieving a profit. Collectors who visit these galleries will buy artwork that has been on display and then both the artist and the gallery will receive a percentage of the commission each. Commercial can be seen as quite strict places to get work put on display as they will only look at and display work that they feel will sell the easiest as they have business targets to achieve. However, if you wish to set up your own commercial gallery it will take a long time due to the initial investments you require to get the gallery off and running. Along with financial restraints you will need to ensure you can find artists who would like to have their work on display and sold, so it will require artist connections along with clients who are eager to buy artwork. An example of a commercial gallery is The Brick Lane Gallery in London which specialises in displaying Fine Art pieces. Artist Run These are galleries that are ru...

Ethics and Photography Research

In photography ethics can play a very vital role in how individuals produce and create work due to restraints, whether that is legal or classed as a gentleman's agreement amongst other members of the art world. The thing is ethics can be very broad and can incorporate a bunch of different factors about copyright, types of subjects used, ethnicities and a whole range of other variables.  For starters the main issue that causes a lot of tension between artists is the fact that many can copy a piece of work directly or indirectly. Meaning they might copy a very small part such as a similar idea or way of capturing their image, or directly in which they make work that is virtually a direct copy of someone else's work while trying to pass it off as their own and something brand new. An example of this is Sherrie Levine's "After Walker Evans" in which she essentially made a like for like copy of Walker Evans work from his "American Photographs". Many people di...

My Career

When i think about photography my first instinct goes towards fashion and portraiture. However, recently i have begun exploring more landscapes, but at the moment fashion is my biggest interest. I began studying and making fashion images since the age of 12 and all my life i have kept up with fashion trends and my own style all my life. I gained a connection to making these images as my connections with people began to expand due to the fact a lot of my friends are very stylish themselves and therefore made a lot of sense to capture them. As i develop my work and my status in the industry i want to share my work in numerous places so my images and style become much more recognised. Once i have work in multiple locations and people from those areas are finding my work then i will start looking at expanding outside of local areas and connecting with more regional individuals, places and companies to continue expanding.  In the fashion world a photographer can be vital but there is a ...
