Stephen Gill

Again Gill is a photographer whos work I have been aware of for a good few years, I am really intrigued by his work as the concept behind his different images is really interesting - it is probably something I would explore if i was so afraid of ruining a camera that I love so much.

The concept behind his work is that he goes to a location, when he know what he want to photograph and capture he looks around the area he is within and find something that has been disposed of or has been left lying around, something that has a connection to the location he is at and will add significance to the photograph. He then takes this item (what ever it is that he has found and wants to use) opens up his camera and places it inside so that when he looks through the viewfinder to frame his image the object is also there within the composition. He is creating a layered image straight from the camera, without having to do it in post production, he is making the image all the more real and raw as everything was captured together at one moment in time.
