BLACK LIVES MATTER

Foundation and Extended Diploma Photo Students (B)

Inspired by research in to this topic, students showcase their exploration of 'Black Live Matters', creating an understanding for themselves and communicating their feelings visually to others. Expressed through diverse genres of photography, documentary, environmental portraiture, or still life, students decide what and how they want to highlight themes of discrimination, or solidarity, own emotions or the emotions of others...with that achieving diverse individual outcomes.

Conor Crosby Inspired by Thomas Kellner, my take on the concept however is that I layered four of my final BLM images over each other and turned down their opacity to 50% to present them all at the same time as one conceptual piece of work.

Robin Evans-Milne From our brief of ‘black lives matter’ I chose to focus on international racism and sexism that black women experience. Moya bailey a queer black feminist blends the words mysogony (hatred of women) and the french word “noir” (black) to explain this - Mysogynoir.
I worked with my model to ensure that she was being portrayed in the way she wanted and for my research I wanted to focus on recognising black female and non binary talent which is why I chose the likes of Zanele Muholi and Nadine Ijwere to inspire my work.

Harry Fuller The actual person is often not seen by police

Mani Cain The Diptych I have created is to present two images that I took at the Black Lives Matter march. One is of a black protester holding a sign while the other is of a police officer. The protester is looking at the camera as if they’re engaging with us directly, asking for their questions to be answered. The officer, on the other hand, has his back to the camera and head turned away from the protester, trying to not see their plea.
