Tom Hunter

Website i looked at: http://www.tomhunter.org/gallery/

Instead of just using google images i thought it would be best if i looked at a website that was only about the photographer as google images can be unreliable with its images. This website showcased a lot of different series' of images that are all about expressing narratives in photography. There was a lot to chose to look at but i thought it would be best to look at as many as i could so i could get a good idea of his work.

I will only talk about the one that really inspired me to think about other narratives otherwise this post may be a little too long and boring. 

As you know through reading my older posts i want to capture a narrative that is personal to me to do with my memories so throughout looking at all photographers i am constantly waiting for something to help me fabricate ideas. 

The first series that stuck out to me was the 'Flashback' series of images he mashed together old period style looking outfits and unusual probs. Tom said in a brief paragraph about this series that he's 'blurred the boundaries between fine art practise and documentary by re-examining the history of London using key artefacts from the museum of London'
The main image that caught my eye was image of a women dressed in what looks like a victorian gown who is holding and stood next to a Vespa. The reason this initially caught my eye was because i thought this is something i could think about because my dad owns Lambretta scooters and i could not reenact the image but take the image into consideration and create my own interpretation of it. 

And also the fact that i wanted this part of the project to be personal to me and my life as it is north east stories, using my dads scooter would be perfect for that.
