Chris Steele- Perkins Chris Steele – Perkins was born 28th July 1947 and is a British photographer. He is best known for his depiction of Africa, Afghanistan, England, and Japan. He was born in Ragoon but at the age of two moved away from his mother to England with his father, after his parents got a divorce. He went to Christ’s Hospital and for one year and studied chemistry at the University of York. He moved to Canada for a short period of time but soon returned to Britain, where he joined the University of Newcastle upon Tyne. There he served as photographer and picture editor for a student magazine. After graduating in psychology in 1970 he started to work as a freelance photographer, specializing in the theatre, while he also lectured in psychology. By 1971, Chris had moved to London and become a full-time photographer, with particular interest in urban issues and poverty. He went to Bangladesh in 1973 to take photographs for relief organizations, which gave him an insight to real life urban issues and great poverty. I have chosen to study Chris Steele- Perkins for a number of reasons. I take an interest in his work as I also am interested in the theme of urban issues. I also take a huge interest in the time frame in which most of his photos have been taken. My favourite pieces of his work are the photographs from ‘The Teds’. I take an interest in these because I think they show relationships in a clear way. In my own work I would like to show the relationship between the model and their surroundings and objects. In Chris Steele-Perkins work, he shows a clear relationship between 2 or more models and their surroundings. For example, in the photograph to the left, it shows two models and their relationship between each other. They are standing together, however they are not clearly interacting with each other. I like how we can see a clear relationship, yet it is not obvious what the relationship is, as their facial expressions do not give us an insight on their relationship towards the other model. This is similar to the work I would like to do. I also take an interest in his work as I like the fashion that the models wear and the locations that the photographer uses. To help my work link to this, I will take a photoshoot of a model wearing similar fashion to the teds (1970s) in different locations. This will help me to link to Chris Steele-Perkins work and will allow me to get variations in relationships between different models, objects and locations.
Jim Marshall James Joseph Marshall was born February 3rd 1936 and died March 24th 2010. He was a photographer, often of rock stars. He had extended access to numerous musicians through the 1960s and 1970s, including being with The Beatles’ for their final concert in San Francisco’s Candlestick Park. He was also chief photographer at Woodstock. Marshall was born in Chicago, Illinois. While still at high school, he purchased his first camera and began documenting musicians and artists in San Francisco. After serving several years in the Air Force, he moved to New York. His photos appeared on the covers of over 500 albums and even more were published in Rolling Stone. He famously photographed Jimi Hendrix setting his guitar on fire at the Monterey Pop Festival, and Johnny Cash at San Quentin. “When I’m photographing people, I don’t like to give any direction. There are no hair people fussing around, no makeup artists. I’m like a reporter, only with a camera; I react to my subject in their environment, and if it’s going well, I get so immersed in it that I become one with the camera.” Annie Leibovitz said he was “the rock ’n’ roll photographer”. I have chosen to study Jim Marshall as I am very interested in his work involving music. In my theme of personal relationships, one of my ideas is showing the relationship between a player and their instrument. For doing this, Jim Marshall is the perfect photographer to look to for inspiration. In Jim Marshall’s work he really shows the relationship between the player and the instrument. He captures the facial expression of the model and has an equal show of the instrument and the player. This keeps the viewer’s eyes on both when looking at the composition. I would similarly like to do this in my work and show the facial expressions of the model and how they use their instrument. I would like to show a variety in this theme, so I will use different models with different instruments and compare the different facial expressions with the different instruments.

So far...
Section 1 The reason I chose to use Personal Relationships as my theme was because I am interested in the different ways in which personal relationships can be shown through using different people and different objects. I have explored the theme by using different ways in which to express the concept of personal relationships. I have interpreted by work while being inspired by Chris Steele Perkins work of the Teddy Boys. I have done similar photographs of his work to help explore the theme. I have also, with my own ideas, shown the personal relationships between one person and different objects that they use. Also the relationship between the model and their surroundings and how they look and act in different locations. From the research I have done on my theme, I have learned that there are many different ways in which I can show personal themes. I could use one model or as many models as I liked. I could use different clothing on the models and have them in different environments. I have researched different photographers such as Chris Steele Perkins and Jim Marshall. These photographers have taught me that there are so many different ways in which I can show personal relationships, with this research I have expressed different ways in which to show personal relationships throughout my photographs. Section 2 I have researched into Chris Steele Perkins and Jim Marshall. They have helped my understanding of the theme by showing different ways in which personal relationships can be incorporated. They have developed my understanding of the theme by giving me more ideas on what else I can do to show personal relationships between the model and different things, such as the object they are holding, the location they are in and their relationship between them and the camera/ photographer. I used the photographer’s ideas in my work to help me have a base idea. I would then think of ways to elaborate on this idea so that I could come up with my own idea. For example, one of Chris Steele Perkins pieces shows a man combing his hair in the mirror, this gave me an idea to make it seem as if the camera lens was the mirror, and so I go the model to comb his hair very close to the lens. I have also had other influences in my work such as music and history. I am very interested in music so in some of my work I have shown the relationship between a player and their instrument. I have also been influenced by history by using an idea of the Teddy Boys. I am very interested in this period of time with the clothing that the Teddy Boys wear and the way they act etc. so I have shown this in some of my work. Section 3 So far I have completed 3 photo shoots, the mind-map, the artist interpretation and photoshoot 1. I have made them relate to my theme by showing personal relationships in each photograph. Each photoshoot has around 50100 photographs showing different personal relationships. In some I have used models, in some I have used instruments and in some I have used objects. In 2 of my photo shoots I have used shutter speed. I have done this because with my photoshoot including instruments, I wanted to be able to capture the players arm in focus, so I had my camera settings on high shutter speed. In my photoshoot 1, I used a model and a yoyo. For this I used shutter speed because I wanted to be able to capture the yoyo in clear focus while it was moving. I have also used the extreme close up setting, I did this so that I could get a really good image of the model close up, without there being any blurs. To develop my theme I have scanograms. I have done this to show variation and a use of techniques in my work. The scanograms helped me to develop my theme as it made me thing about what objects mostly link to my theme and so which objects can I then use in my next photo shoots. I could improve these effects by showing more variation in the objects that I have used and experiment more. I could also use contrasting objects so that I can compare my work to the objects and show opposites through my work. I would like to use more scanograms in the future and also use the dark room. This will help show variation and development in my work and also help me to come up with some new ideas for my work. Section 4 To develop my theme, I could take a number of ideas further. I could use the dark room process with my Teddy Boys theme. This would help to develop the theme as it shows a more retro technique, which links to the photography theme. I could also show instruments on scanograms to help develop my instrument theme. These would both help to develop my themes and help me to come up with a new or more ideas. I can make use of my photographer’s research by looking at different techniques that the photographers have used and how I can use those ideas and make them into my own work. They could help to give me a small idea that I can elaborate on to make my work develop further into my final piece. I need to develop my photoshoot 1 further. This is because I need to make it link more to my other themes. At the moment it is random and completely different to my other two themes. Although it is good to show variation, I would like to show a link between my different ideas and photo shoots.
