Research: Photography and Narrative
Jeff Wall

Jeff is a photographer who created the concept of 'photographic objectivity' to define  the 'photo conceptualism'. Jeff was always interested in displaying racism, violence and poverty. He thinks that photography have a big influence from the history of art in paintings of the modern era like Manet and Delacroix. Some of Jeff's photographs are complicated productions involving  cast, sets, crews and digital post production. His photographs are usually staged like in a film the composition is well thought through and borrowed details from modern painters.  Jeff has the ability to capture reality and ambition to open his mind of conceptual art to get people to feel and whatever they discover. Jeff has well balanced composition of shapes, light and movement, the careful choice of objects and location and seeking a sharp view at people's everyday life.


Jeff wall: “My pictures are obviously related to my own life. Why would I be interested in them otherwise? I’m not a sociologist. I must identify with these figures, even though I often don’t like them, I don’t even feel that sympathetic to them sometimes. But I must identify with them in some way because they keep coming into pictures that I want to make.”

This picture I feel that the society is careless in the way they handle their food and drink as our generation people seem to not care that they spilling liquids on pavement leaving staines. The guy in the photo looks frustrated by his life or someone just talked to him by sitting by the wall beside him but he doesn't agree with her opinion so hes shaving the drink in anger not caring where it lands.

A sudden gust of wind 1993 picture on the left based on Yejiri station, province of Suruga 1832 on the right that is a woodprint by Katsushika Hokusia to create 19th century Japanese scene in contemporary British Collumbria, using actors and took over a year to achieve all in one montage that gives the illusion of capturing a real moment in time.
