UNIT 1, PART C. Cardiff Before Cardiff Exhibition Review.
Today I went to the 'Cardiff before Cardiff' photography
exhibition in The Millennium Centre in Cardiff Bay. The photographs are by two
photographers, one is Keith S Robertson and the other is Jon Poutney. The older
photos by Keith were undiscovered for years but then Jon found them and did
lots of research about them and then he reimaged lots of them to a modern
version of the old photo. All the pictures are off Cardiff from 1970’sish till
now. I liked the exhibition and liked how the people were all in their natural
surroundings and not posed, I didn’t like them all being Black and White, some
I think I would have left in colour. In some ways the photography is a bit like
mine because I like people to be natural and not posed but I don’t think I’d be
able to walk around city streets taking photos of strangers. The display was very simple and neat and the black frames and white mounts showed off the photographs really nicely. The style of street photography and the all black and white was not really something I liked I found it quite boring but I did really like the relaxed poses and this is something I do in my photography and will continue to do but I dont think I will be doing any street photography and lots of black and white photographs.

Hi Jordan,
ReplyDeleteHow did you enjoy the images from this gallery?
Hi Julie, I really liked the images and the idea behind them because the old ones and new ones kinda matched because they had the same theme so one was kids playing cricket in the street in about 1970 and another one was kids playing now but they were just climbing up a billboard. But I didn't really like them all being black and white some would have looked nicer in colour or even half black and white n half colour.
