This feels pretty daunting if I’m being honest. I’m going to have to look at how I structure an essay, not my strongest point and I think with my writing style I tend to waffle.
This maybe time I call on the wife’s education and pester her for some help on this matter. I’m better with a camera than a pen.
Intial images to looks at are from Sir Don McCullin. Who most will know as a world-class war photographer. A title he doesn’t agree with. I can fully understand that statement. War in itself will always be reported on and captured with a camera and lens. I believe it is how the photographer captures those moments in time documenting what is going on. Filming Vs Camera stills is a debate that could open up through this and I’m strongly towards stills over film.
Moving images are seen with a different eye than a still. The still image for me opens the mind up to read the photograph versus seeing the action unfold with the film.
The three series of pictures I will research for this.
- Northern Ireland Circa 1971
- Vietnam Circa 1968
- Southern Frontiers Circa 2006-17.
I was lucky enough to visit the Tate exhibition the other year to see McCullin images for myself with my wife.
