Development

I gave my 1 year old cousin my digital camera whilst it was on video because I wanted to see what the video would turn out like and it gave me the idea to ask another young cousin of mine to take photos around the city, I wanted to see what he would photograph without any influence. I thought the photos he took would show me the view he has of the city, it ties in nicely with previous series of works ive done for this brief of seeing things through other peoples eyes. Me, my 4 year old cousin and his mum went to Manchester, I gave him my camera and said whenever you want to, take a photo of something, after looking at his photos I then stood where he stood and captured what he tryed to capture using another camera, I wanted to show the difference in what we see and how we see it. The photos shown below are the final images I selected from the many that I chose to re-create in his style. So the photos were taken by me but look almost identical to the photos he took on that day, I re-took them only so the work would be classed as my own.

He didn't intend on cutting the view off the image and didn't intend on some being blurry, these things happened because of the eagerness to move on, he didn't stay in the same spot to take a photo for more than about 2 seconds at a time. I re-created his images in my own way to show the contrast in skill, patience and creativity but still I wanted the photos to be recognisable as re-creations of his photos. My photos taking in my own style are shown below.
