The concept came about when I thought how I took my photographs. Looking, watching and waiting, trying to keep alert for those individual moments in time when a picture is born. So taking a photograph of a particular view we naturally look around at what is in front of us. It occurred to me we never see what is behind us, there\u2019s no reason to, we have found the view we wish to photograph. However, if we were to turn around what would we see? I wanted to capture precisely this<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
I found this a really interesting juxtaposition between in front and behind, in terms of Assignment 3 – Decisive Moment, I feel that this is something I could use or expand to incorporate the other themes. Jo’s image above definitely engenders both landscape and a decisive moment.<\/p>\n
Following this presentation, I went out the next day to have a go at taking a similar image. I found out I can ‘overlay images’ in camera, so used this feature for this image. I chose to stand inside one of the shelters to take the images, as I wanted to explore the idea of Henri Cartier-Bresson that form and frame of the image can be prepared in advance and provides structure to the image. <\/p>\n

Mewsbrook – 24.01.18 – overlay image in camera<\/p><\/div>\n
I would like to explore this idea further, taking an image of a person coming towards the camera and then from behind as they walk away. The decisive moment will be as they pass me, but the viewer will only see the before and after.<\/p>\n
