Lens Based Media Exploratory WEEK 2 PART 1

This week we were introduced to the Lens Based Media pathway. We began the week of photography by researching and exploring the meaning of an image and how it is created. The series of images studied were by John Hillard, entitled 'Cause of Death' c1970 :

We created our own photos which represented the following words :
CRUSH / FALL / JUMP / ECHO / SAD / HAPPY.

I learnt that composition is essential to giving meaning to an image:
