5. Moments in Time

The camera can capture moments in different ways. When photographing sport and movement Lev Akhsanov and Ray Demskiuse a fast shutter speed to freeze a moment in time. David Hilliard creates composite images using photographs of separate moments in time. Many animators use the technique of stop motion to produce the effect of movement from a sequence of isolated moments in time.

Study appropriate sources and produce your own work in response to Moments in time.

6. Hair

Images of hair have held a cultural and fashion interest for photographers. Marc Laroche often photographs the movement and structure of hair. Fabien Baron and Alex Styles have explored unusual hair styles in their fashion photography. In her project ‘East Flatbush, Brooklyn’, Sabrina Santiago documents hair salons and the part they play in the African Caribbean community. J.D. ’Okhai Ojeikeredocumented the intricacy of patterns and textures in hundreds of Nigerian hairstyles.

Study appropriate sources and produce your own work inspired by Hair.

• What photography techniques do you think the artist has used? (consider: shutter speed, aperture (fstop),lighting, photoshop)

• Gaze: Where are people in the photograph looking?

• What is significant about where they are looking or what they are looking at?

• What do you like? Dislike? Why?

• How could you use this to help with your own work?
