Reviewing Sally Manns work introduced me to a new technique that can be used in photography. I was first drawn to Mann’s work because of the ominous feel her photographs convey. Learning that she intentionally created these feelings through her use of large-scale cameras and the collodium technique showed me the importance of choosing the correct materials to create images. Evaluating her work also introduced me to the idea of allowing for imperfections or purposefully causing them. Mann believed that the flaws in her images allowed for poetic potential. I believe these flaws and the use of unique techniques made her images more impactful. Mann's work broadened my understanding of photographic techniques and deepened my appreciation for the deliberate storytelling within her images.
Comment on Owen Fournier
I think the pictures you chose for your presentation were able to show the range of Sir Donald McCullin's work. I liked that your first image showed the physical effects of war while your second showed the psychological effects. You can see the impacts war has on the communities involved through these photos. The photos you chose give an eery feeling and I agree with your evaluation of "Road to the Battlefields" that without context the photo could be evaluated as a simple landscape image.
