ACPP: Environmental Portraits - Notes

ACPP: Intimate Life

• Richard Billingham - visual aids for his paintings
• Photography as contemporary art - 'private experience'
• Not meant to shock. Spiritual
• Large prints like paintings, more saleable
• Photos need to have an energy
• We have to show technical competence
• Being oneself, not imitating
• 3rd Year moves away from technical training
• Unequal power relationships
• Billingham is an insider
• Nina Berman - soldiers & injuries
• Nan Goldin - was in the middle recording er life
• Stephen Shore - recorded evreything in his life
• Juergen Teller - compact & flash
• Mitch Epstein - respectful distance

ADI - Book Design Elements

Books with design elements that I like:

• The Americans by Robert Frank - even pages are blank (focus on one page at a time), titles on even pages, all B&W 
• William Eggleston's Guide - opening 16 pages of text are on green paper, main pages are bright-white, very first image invites you in, odd pages are blank, title and page number are on opposite page, photo page only photo, landscape- eye-level suits the image, portrait - direction suits the image, image titles are just places with maybe year
• Gregory Crewdson, 1985-2005 - large format, german/english text, chapter openings in blue/grey, small thumbnail opposite, plates only on odd pages, white margins
• In Flagrante by Chris Killip - all B&W, sometimes image spreads two pages, sometimes four images over two pages
