evaluation: component 1
one of the themes I explored was the human condition . I thought the human condition would be a good theme to choose as I find human behaviour and I thought showing it through photographs would be interesting and a broad path to choose I also thought that you could intereprate the theme in multiple different ways therefore producing a range of different photographs .The first artist that I looked at during this theme was Ralph Eugene meat yard .meatyard took a lot of differs photographs witch had different meanings but the main selection of photos I was interested in was 'the family album of lucybell carter'.this album includes an array of traditional photos but with the participants of the photos wearing carnival masks . meat yards idea for this album is inspired buy his old job as an optition .ralph was interested in the way people see things and he wanted peoples focus on his photographs to be shifted from who is in the photo to the idea of what makes a traditional family photograph.he wanted to express the fact that even though you can't particularly tell who the subjects of the photo are that you can still tell that they are a family due to other factors in the images .I like this concept as people are constantly focused on identity and you can argue that photographs are peoples main way of expressing that.one of the main ideas in photography is that every photo is abstract I think this is true as different people interpretate different things when they look at a photograph as they might have different norms ,values and memories related to multiple colours or objects
