Feedly Reader Response #11


After I made my post to the Photo exchange website (http://photographyexchange.wordpress.com/2014/03/27/lucy-nystrom/ ) I explored a lot of other students work.  I looked at http://photographyexchange.wordpress.com/2012/04/07/abie-lauren-kanyuck/ and http://photographyexchange.wordpress.com/2014/03/18/fengyu-lloyd-wang/.  I looked for other images, which focused on reflections and read the comments left by others. My favorite was http://photographyexchange.wordpress.com/2014/03/18/fengyu-lloyd-wang/ because it reminded me of work I did this summer in London.  A lot of the comments were similar to feedback I have gotten in class about the image appearing to be double exposures.  It really helped to see the treatment of the images and things, which people strongly respond to.  After hearing feedback on my photos and reading the feedback on the photos by Fengyu (Lloyd) Wang I believe I have a better understanding of how people respond to images similar to the ones I am creating.  I am glad that there was not an artist statement included with the post because it allowed me to take a step back and look at the images and just see how people respond to them.  I commented on the photos asking what the theme was. 

I looked for a blog but could not find one, however I did find a blog for Abie (Lauren) Kanyuck  (http://akanyuck.wordpress.com).  Her work is similar to some new ideas I am experimenting with.  I used ot focus entirely on water reflections but this semester I have been trying to branch out.  There are several photos of reflections in cars and reflections of lights in windows with are very similar to what I am experimenting with now.

I think it will be interesting and helpful to see how people respond to my work on the photo exchange and to follow these two photographers (especially the feedback they are getting) while continuing to work on my project.
