When i was talking about the artist Martin Parr, i talked about a specific series which he created which was called "Common Sense". Because we had to create some work which was inspired by Martin Parr, i decided to create some work which would fit into the Common Sense series very well ...
Below are the photographs which were in Martin Parrs' Common sense series just so that i can compare his work to mine ...
These particular pieces which i have chosen are very simple to show everyday life, which is what i am going to try and put forward as well. Below are my attempts to some work which was inspired by the artist Martin Parr.
Like i said above, i wanted to try and recreate the work which Martin Parr creates and he creates work which is just everyday items, so i decided to photograph things that are just around the house which are treasures which my mum likes to keep and cherish. For Example with photographs three, four and six they are the items that my mum is very caring over and cherish because they are something which she has collected for many years and there something which we used to give as presents to show our appreciation to everything which she does to us. the other photographs are just general simple items around the house which is something that Martin Parr photographs as well. The difference is that he photographs items in the house which are more old fashioned compared to my photographs which are photographs of items which are more modern. Also his photographs have that old fashioned feel about them because of the colours and the brightness of his photographs and also he has a certain grain to his photographs where as again my photographs are very modern because of the camera which i have used to take my photographs where as Martin Parr would have used a film camera by the looks of the photographs.
It was nice to photograph in the same style as a particular artist just to see how i could intemperate there own style but i don't think its the type of style which is me. I like his work to look at but not to try and re-create.
