Reynold Reynolds 'Burn'

Again another great concept, using film to produce a thought provoking piece of art where the inhabitants of a dwelling are surrounded by all their belongings on fire.
The amount of time setting up, testing and not to mention the cost of production. A lot of time has gone in to the initial ideas and you can see that it is not just mindless documentary, but communicates as a fully developed self initiated concept.

Paul Graham 'Beyond Caring'

This project could be classed as a social documentary, I would not have said so much of a narrative as the images were depicting different waiting rooms in the 70's / 80's and as such were a story within themselves and did not really flow as a narrative would.
The images showed a good depth of field with a wide angle lens, with plenty of the composition in focus.
I felt there was good harmony between the C-type prints and the format / framing of the display. The print was displayed in a very wide, thick off white window mount, which helped bring the subject matter to the forefront and give an overall aesthetically pleasing composition of what could be classed by some as an unusual subject matter.
