Tim Tadder's Water Wigs photo series went viral, first with his images of bald men and then women. These shots made his bald (or bald-capped) subjects look as if they had hair made of water, and required incredibly precise timing
Tadao Cern
Tadao Cern is a Lithuanian artist, who, in 2010, decided to stop being an architect and try something new - photography. This led to his series of wind-swept portraits, a new interpretation of Van Gogh's self-portrait. In Cern's photography, he uses a high powered leaf blower to create this humorous yet interesting and unattractive set of photos. He uses a high shutter speed to capture the distinctive facial movements of the people, as they have high powered wind blasting in their faces, which then creates the humorous aspect of Cern's project.
Amelia Fletcher
Photographer and wanderer based out of Asheville, NC, specializing in portraits and weddings.
Nadav Kander Half Life
Nadav Kander (born December 1, 1961) is a London-based photographer, artist and director, known for his portraiture and landscapes. His pictures are very interesting to look at as he is representing nature overgrowing onto man made items. He may be signifying that nature is more powerful and more beautiful then man made items. Our population do not appreciate the beauty of nature! We become ignorant when it comes to nature yet it surrounds us.
Man Vs Nature First Response
I went to many different locations to find some nature growing on top of man made subjects. The contrast between the nature and buildings is very interesting to see. It shows there is always the growth of nature underlying the builds of humans. In my opinion I find that nature is so much more powerful and cannot be recreated the same way buildings etc can.
Man Vs Nature Second Response
WWW: I managed to find the representation of Man VS Nature. EBI: I found more interesting combinations to show this difference.
Francois Delfosse
This is Francios Delfosse's project antarctica in a bag:
The effect of Francois Delfosse's images are trying to show a sort of glacier look to it.
The image looks like its never ending which makes it interesting and mysterious.
Having the light go through gives it more interest.
Applied Force-First Response
Final Three Images
WWW: I managed to take photos in the way Delfosse did using coloured bags and different angles. EBI: I took more shots of different coloured bags.
Applied Force-Second Responce
It was fun and interesting to see the outcome of the photos when simply smashing bits of coloured chalk. It made very good photography.
Final Three Images
WWW: I managed to take photos of the chalk at different stages in terms of the size, colour and pattern. EBI: I created shapes with the chalk
Paper-Applied Force
Final Three Images
WWW: I managed to take various different shots of the paper in different shapes and with different crease lines. EBI: I used coloured paper
Water Movement-Applied Force
Final Three Images
WWW: I managed to take photos of water the movement of water at different stages in time. EBI: I used food colouring.
Further Development
I decided to continue to develop the movement of water. To do this I used different coloured dye. I then took a series of shots as the dye was being put in which gave a cool effect as it was contaminating the water.
Final Three Images
WWW: I managed to successfully develop the movement of water and took some good shots. EBI: I positioned the white background paper to fit the frame of the camera.
Edward Horseford
Edward Horsford is a London based designer, technologist and photographer rolled into one. With an interest in hacking, breaking and making, his high speed photographs of balloons bursting are almost ethereal. Having studied industrial design, Horsford created his own high speed trigger to create the photographs, often planning each shot for hours and hours in advance in order to get the look just so. Using a combination of strobe lights and balloons filled with dyed water, he manages to produce some truly fascinating shots in his ‘Balloons’ series.
Water Movement-Balloons
WWW: We took pictures in a similar way Edward Horseford did. EBI: Get a lighter background to make the picture sharper and clearer
Eliot Porter
Eliot Porter is an American photographer born in 1901 who started taking photos at the age of 11. Alongside photography he had also studied chemistry at Harvard University. He is best known for his intimate colour photographs of nature.
In these photos above that Porter had taken, he has taken all of these photos from different angles. From directly infront, from below and from above. His photos find the beauty in nature and have so much colour to them. Porter had clearly carefully chosen where and what he wanted to photograph. He had thought about the colours in each photo and whether they worked well together.
Foggy Environment
WWW: I managed to capture some good shots on the field of the fog. EBI: I took photos with darker tones.
Rule Of Thirds The rule of thirds is applied by aligning a subject with the guide lines and their intersection points, placing the horizon on the top or bottom line, or allowing linear features in the image to flow from section to section.
WWW:I was able to take photos using the rule of thirds. EBI: I took pictures of buildings.

WWW:I managed to find objects to photograph defining the words the Good, Bad and Ugly. EBI: I went in the morning rather than at night to get better lighting.
Formal Elements-Decay
I managed to find objects that describe the word "Decay" in my local area making sure they all are in focus.
Simon Philips
Photographer based in Clerkenwell central London.
My Response-Barbican
I went to the Barbican as I knew there would be very quirky and interesting buildings to photograph there. It links to Simon Philips' photography as the buildings there are all grey and what else had made it look better without having to edit the photos was the fact that it was already a cloudy grey day which contrasted with the buildings.
Colin Winterbottom
Winterbottom grew up in the streets of the Washington suburbs and lived inn the city over 20 years. He earned an undergraduate degree in economics and master of arts in philosophy and social policy. He takes pictures of objects with different textures, patterns and colours. His photos look very appealing and abstract.
Close up-Far Away
WWW: I managed to take photos close up and far away also showing texture and pattern like Colin Winterbottom. EBI: I found objects with lots of colour.
Force Final Piece
I selected the photos that showed texture, colour and rust to really replicate Colin Winterbottom's work. It only took me a trip around my neighbourhood to find these interesting things to photograph.
