Blog post from Anna!

Hello Ladies! 

I had such a great time with all of you that came to the Open Mic on Friday! It was really great seeing you all share your work and seeing what the other YAC groups have been working on. I wanted to show you this contemporary British photographer named Hannah Starkey. Take a look at these photos and think about how they are similar or different to other photographer we have looked at recently, in particular, Robert Frank in the Americans. Do you think her photos are documentary style, set up, or both?  Do you think of a photograph differently when you know how is was made? What aspects of identity do this images capture? It seems as if we've been given a look into someone's personal moment or thought in many of these photos. Do you think the people photographed can represent a larger feeling or aspect of the communities they live in? If you were to stage a photograph of yourself in attempt to describe your environment what would it be? Lots to think about!
