V&A

As a fun visit during the summer i went to my routine visit to the V&A, just to look around and get any inspiration from the vast collections there.

Some of the pieces that i found useful for media ideas were in the photography halls.
Artists such as Hannah Starky are famous for there simplistic scene's with usually female models. Looking at her work might be useful for compistion's in the frame and presenting characters in film.



(a summary from http://collections.vam.ac.uk/item/O20214/photograph-untitled-may-1997/)

In 1997, when Hannah Starkey graduated from the Royal College of Art, she received a number of awards including The Photographers Gallery Award, The Sunday Times Award and the John Kobal Portrait Award. Her photographs of women in atmospheric interiors have been widely exhibited and reproduced in publications. About this image, the photographer wrote: 'The photograph of the two girls on a sofa depicts a situation that is both reality and fantasy. A moment in teenage years that can be easily identified with as a familiar memory. Emma and Sam were drama students, and this was their student union. It portrays a moment (possibly one of many) when the party is, at least for now, over. The expectations of the evening are now replaced with exhaustion and their relationship becomes one of co-dependency and the shared knowledge of a satisfied ending.'
