Uta Barth is a contemporary photographer born in Berlin, Germany in 1958. Now based in Los Angeles she worked as a professor of art at the university of California. I really like the techniques that Barth uses as most of her work is out of focus which shows a surrealist theme as you are almost unable to read the imagery but still can tell what the subject is. I want to produce two series of work for this homage I will shoot one inside paying tribute to two of her most famous projects ‘Passing Bye’ and ‘Draw With Light’ these two works are all shot with natural light from a window which I think will really work with the windows at my parents house as they have beautiful lighting at dawn through the glass giving a golden look.
I also want to shoot some images on a cliff in South Shields where I am from, it currently has high percentage of people falling off the edge of cliffs under the influence of alcohol, I think this would be a captivating concept that would work well with the techniques Uta Barth uses by blurring the focal points.
Here is an example of Uta’s work:
