I recently opened a twitter account, which was previously something i had said i would never do, but when someone mentioned how useful it was for contacts and seeing other peoples photography, i thought maybe it would be worth it, and it was! The amount of creativity i have seen just by following certain people and pages has amazed me.
For example the work of Jasper James, tweeted by Feature Shoot. A Set of portraits that are layered over city-scapes in the most beautiful way. Subtle colours and tones that create a calm atmosphere but that makes me think and consider the work curiously.
What is the connection between these people and the city which they are blended with? Is it their home? Their future or past? Or is it a statement about society and its relationship to the city. The new world we live in. Our world has become hugely modernised and over-run with technology, and a lot of the buildings in these images represent that.
One final image that really held me from this set, was this one with the aeroplane. For me it has immediate connection with the 9/11 and i cant find out if this was the intention of Jasper James or not. But the sense of fragility from the image strikes something inside me. The fact that the plane is being controlled by something outside, a higher power if you like. The scale of the hand shows how it overpowers all that is within the frame and the reality of it something quite deep in comparison of how his other images affected me.
