Discuss the following images. What interests you about them? What makes them good photographs? How to analyse the work of a new artist and take inspiration from their work. Peter Keetman Keetman's extensive portfolio combined nature and motion studies, experiments, industrial and applied photography. Peter Keetman (1916–2005) was a central figure in German post-war modern photography, Characteristic of Keetman’s work is his continuous and imaginative exploration of the camera’s potential to create rather than just capture images. Keetman's photographs unite the period’s two main aesthetic currents: On one hand there is the modernist intention to form, experiment, and abstract – on the other hand there is the wish for a humanist relationship to the world as well as a turning towards reconstruction, the city, and nature, up to its most fundamental elements. Keetman stated that he discovers the "great picture" in the smallest details – and translates them into abstract images. His bold, black and white, high contrasting photographs become abstract as a result of looking so closely at unusual details of different items, often including mechanical structures with reflective surfaces. Using the information above plus your own further research, write a paragraph to analyse the work of Peter Keetman. Work onto a single slide of a powerpoint Include a 4+ photos of his work, and use the sentence starters/prompts to help you. To analyse a photographer's work, you need to talk about what is in the picture, how they have taken the photograph, camera or editing techniques they have used, how they have used the formal elements (colour, composition, lighting, viewpoint etc), what you like about the work, and how their work could inspire your own photographs. Try to use key words. If you need help getting started, use these sentence starters but write as a paragraph... Artist's Name takes photographs of... He/she takes his/her photos by... This photographer considers formal elements in their work by... Something I like about Artist's Name's photography style is... I could take inspiration from this photographer in my own work by... Going for gold: Use ALL of these key words!CONTRAST COMPOSITION MONOTONE REFLECTIVE LIGHTING PATTERN TEXTURE REPETITION LINE SHAPE If you are ahead - well done! Go to one of your homework photos, and edit it in the style of this artist. Think about what you just identified about his style. It should be:
- monotone - high contrast - feature pattern/line - look shiny/reflective
