Noell Oszvald Photography Research


















Noella Osvald is a Photographer who manipulates and tells a story in her images, all of her images are in black and white giving it a serious tone. She became viral after posting her images on her Flickr page.
Oszvald says that she chooses only to work in black and white because she finds colour distracting from her conceptual ideas, she also wishes for viewers of her work to find their own meaning and interpretation of each image, this is why she only includes a title instead of any description.
Her work is very inspiring as she has only been using a digital camera for a few years, this shows talents and determination to improve in her work, I think that Black and white images show a more serious/mysterious feel to the images. This gets the audience to think what the artwork might mean/represent.
I am inspire to use this for the topic ,"Human Trafficking", as it is a very serious topic but also add no description only a simple title. I think this will work well as the audience will have to determine what is happening in the images and if it relates in some way to the title.

Dominic Murphy Artist Research

Dominic Murphy is a British artist who works in a very gruesome and dark art way. Lots of his work is based around Alice in wonderland. I like how he uses a lot of colour but in a monotone kind of sense, making the piece look more gruesome and horrible. All his artwork is very realistic which works well in his favour as it adds more of a weird and creepy aspect to the work. It has inspired me to use colour but in a neutral and with a low saturation through out the book.

Original stories Dinsey used to base their movies off

Adbusters Research

 Adbusters is a website that fights consumerism brands/people using powerful posters that have a strong meaning/story for the audience. Adbuster shows consumers how bad company's are to the environment and to them. My favourite image is of a baby being breast fed and the mother having a burger painted on her boob, this is very inspiring as it shows that any bad greasy food the mother eats so does the baby, this poster is meant to open women's eyes up to being careful of what they eat when pregnant. This has inspire me to try and develop a certain logo and change it into something bad they do; Pepsi logo being turned into an obese person as there is a lot of sugar and calories in them.
