SCARTI
Broomberg and Chanarin`s photobook 'SCARTI' become named after the technical term 'Scarti di avviamento', that is Italian for the paper this is fed thru a printing press that allows you to easy the drums of ink among whenever that it's miles used ('scary' meaning 'scraps'). Typically, this derivative is discarded of and destroyed because it not has any use, but this photobook is packed with these 'scarti' that have been produced (consequently the title). Although in the beginning the photos appear to be layered on pinnacle of every different purposely, they have been all produced and coupled through chance. These photos have been first of all for a photobook titled 'Ghetto', which become produced over a 3 12 months time period, despite the fact that now, it's miles out of print. In 'Scarti', the photos appear nearly planned and inventive in a way.

Hicham Benohoud - La Salle de Classe
Benohoud`s series 'La Salle de Classe' became stimulated through his years of being a instructor which advanced a photographic technique closer to staging. In all of his pix on this unique series, there are individuals (maximum possibly his college students), acting in a few manner in the front of the elegance with extraordinary objects. However, in spite of the absurdity of a number of those actions, the alternative college students withinside the again continue to be centered on their research and appear to truly forget about what's occurring, completely. This should replicate the subject that Benohoud has imposed on his college students as nicely done, as they maintain to live composed.

My response:
For this photoshoot my focus was to try and find my own and unique response to Benohouds project La Salle de Classe to find unique things in usual places to make them more unusual. For this shoot i decided to find several random objects and put them with what someone could see as usual to try and show that this is the response from the project La Salle de Classe and try and go along the lines of what Benohouds did in this project. i took a couple of risks when in this shoot like when i used the same object several times as at the start of this project i wanted to try and find several different objects to use and not just the same objects for the while shoot, event though i did this i still did use a variety of different objects, so i still did go with what i wanted to do where as i could have done a bigger and better variety of random objects. We did something different with this shoot and was told to get with someone that we have not worked with a lot of the time and i was put with Harry and we worked very well together getting everything that we needed to do done, we took it in tern to take our individual images and we took some ideas from each other, for example at first i used the foam block with the string on and we then both ended up using it of our shoot. In this shoot I used a series of different probs including; a foam block with a string attached to it, a bike tire this in part and the outside part, a fan and a kids toy with a pipe cleaner in it. Over all i thought this project went pretty well, something that i think i could improve on is to look at my backgrounds more closely as i was focussing a lot on the subjects and how they were placed that i didn't really take any time to look at the background to help make these images more impactful.
My second attempt:
For My second attempt of this project I focused more on what is wanted to improve on from the last shoot i did which is the background of my images to most impact the overall images for this next shoot. For this shoot i took some different objects that i thought would give me the most use out of so that i could use them for a multi use so that i could be more experimental with my shoot and the images that i am taking. In this shoot i took a couple more risks than i usually would by getting my model to do some more abstract and out of the usual poses as last time i don’t t think i got enough variety and i didn’t take as much rick and experimental mind set that i wanted to which is why i did this in my second attempt of the La Salle de Classe by Benohoud. In this shoot is was put with a different person that i haven’t worked with before so that we changed up the way we took the images and the influence in this shoot was very interesting as we both very much collaborated with
Layering images
i chose this image for page 17 to overlap as they both have lines and my portrait has basically no colour where as he page 17 has lodes of colours and also have lines and also plants but my image looks more dead and black and white.
