photographer 2- Corrine Vionnet


I have chosen Corrine Vionnet as I like the way she creates blurred photographs of famous tourist attraction. These images are different as it has hundreds of the same photographs placed on top of each other. I feel that her images signify memories which people have made as well as showing the movement of the thousand of people who have visited these famous attraction all over the world. Lastly i chose Corrine Vionnet as she shows blurring in a different way which is all about layers of images.

The composition of image one is Big Ben seen form across the river, the building looks blurred with the different layers of the image. This almost gives the impression of mountains in the distance. From the layers of images it starts to create ghostly figures in the foreground. The colours that have been used are browns, creams and pale blues. This gives the effect of the images looking frozen in time. The purpose of this image is to make you look closely and see dim shadows, vague silhouettes that aimlessly wander around. More than anything, the haunting figures make us think about our own fading memories and the passage of time. We always take the same photographs because the photograph proves our presence and make it become a memory.

The composition of image two is the Eifel Tower in the centre of the photograph. Faintly you can see the blur of the people how have been built up in the making of the photograph, this almost makes the bottom of the image just become a dark blur which represents all the people have been at this famous attraction. The fact that the Eifel Tower is in line as does not blur represents that it has been unchanged whereas the people attending the attraction are always changing.











The composition of image Three is a famous temple which is the centre of the photograph to show its importance. The main temple building is not blurred showing that it has been unchanged however there are pillars on each side of the temple which are slightly fainter than the actual temple suggesting that they may be new or no longer there. On either side of the image there are mass amount of blur to represent the people who are their which suggests this is a very popular place to visit.




Lastly the composition of the forth image is again a famous attraction which is rounded and takes up most of the photograph. A quarter of the Building is fainter than the rest which may suggest that it is in the middle of being built or has been damaged due to how old it is. Similar to the other photographs there is a dark blur at the bottom of the image which is representing the mass amount of people who have attended this attraction.






influence 
This photographer has influenced me in a way in which i have started to experiment with moving the camera to show movement rather than the actual object moving. This way i would be able to make something look like they are moving when they really now, this is better as i was restricted in my movement image as i was only able to move certain objects. 

Summary
Overall i like this photographer as they show a different way of showing movement as well as creating a mysterious atmosphere in the photograph by the ghostly looking figures.Also it is a way of showing all the different people that have created memories in these famous landmarks.
