In the Style of Lewis Hine and the Empire State Building

This is the group photograph taken by students from my Thursday night class who based their images on one by the American photographer Lewis Hine. Lewis Hine took a series of photographs illustrating workmen on the construction of the Empire State building. Here the students adapted their image to portray the construction of a fictitious building over the City of Manchester, even down to the construction of the steel girder (made of wood).

Photo debate - Gregory Crewdson

The new photography debate for members of the Lindow Photographic Group revolves around the work of American photographer Gregory Crewdson. Best known for his photographs, which feature elaborately staged, surreal tableaus of suburban life, it is these 'tableaus' that we shall consider and discuss through this blog. To start the discussion I'd like to pose the questions 'what type of photography is this? Is it fine art, figurative, landscape or is it a genre all of its own?' 'What is the difference between the way he creates his work and that of a still from a film?' And lastly 'what do the images communicate to you and where is he drawing his influences from?' Add your thoughts and questions to this blog, but if you'd like to research a bit more here is a direct link Aperture190

Goosefest Tutorial

Richard's had a busy day today: a 5 hour photography course, part of the Goostrey festival. (What an festival! I was there last night when "Any Questions" went out live on Radio 4), followed by a stint as wedding photographer at St Barts in Wilmslow, aided by the very capable Leonie. Just as well the Wilmslow High School PTA Ball, also booked in for this evening was postponed! Richard's not back yet - but when he is, I'm sure he'll be very touched by the e-mails that are coming in from the photographers he tutored today, who are buzzing with what they've learned and where they want to go with it. Here are just a few of their thoughts: "Many thanks for the course today, I really enjoyed it. I am hopi ng to come to the Lindow Photographic Group on Monday if that's ok and see what it's all about." "Thanks for the great photographer course today. Myself and my daughter really enjoyed it and gained a lot of tips." &qu
