Assignment 1
GangCulture takes pictures of daily items and things we see and puts them in a whole new perspective with cool camera effects at times and perfect placement. They always have a really unique placement as I can see through their Instagram. This is unique and I enjoy it a lot. I’m quite impressed that many of the pictures were taken on an iPhone 4, I do not understand how such good quality can come out of a phone with that much age. I cannot even get a creative picture with my iPhone 11 Pro.
Questions
1.
what kind of photographs do they make? (black
and white, colour, subject matter)
They always take a coloured picture that looks
great
2.
Describe some of their compositions (centered,
irregular,
The item they are taking in the picture is always
centered, at least for most of the pictures
3.
What were some of their ideas/motivation in
making the pictures?
The motivation in taking these pictures are
daily items that are in a unique position or have something special about them.
This is what he takes in pictures and they are quite distinctive I don’t really
ever see pictures taken from these angles.
