So my topic for this project is to look into Documentary Family photography/photojournalism. Comprehensively through out the project I’ve collectively calibrated a variety of different artist research which has helped me discover and expand on my whole idea of Documentary.
My stylistic approach, I wouldn’t particularly suggest I have one specific artist who has influenced me throughout, as all of the artist who I’ve looked into I’ve involved and got inspiration from. The most approachable artist who I personally think is similar to mine is ‘Richard Billingham’s’ series of ‘Ray’s a Laugh’ In my opinion because of the way he portrays a realistic method. And makes his Images gritty and unnatural to the viewers, because you wouldn’t usually want to see this in photographers work as it unusual to do so. But because I find it so intriguing and fascination. I feel like i tried to include this type of style with in my shots which therefore got myself influenced by Billingham’s work.
