Also, one of the photographers used a technique were he put things on the front of the lens of his camera. I thought the outcome was really good and will give it a go with my own camera. I later found out the Photographer was Stephan Gill.

One of the photographs Stephan Gill took with  things on his camera.

Context

In some of the galleries we visited on wednesday, the pictures didn't have and frames, they were just pinned up on a wall.

In the pictures we saw, the surroundings let the audience know what is happening, were it is, the time period etc.

Techniques

In one of the galleries we visited on wednesday, a few of the pictures were shot with a slow shutter speed which allowed the people who were being photographed, add effects, such as; one picture was of a house and in front of the house there were children playing. in the middle of the photo there was a bright squiggly line. This was a result of the slow shutter speed of the camera. something bright must have moved across the shot quickly to produce the effect.

The pictures weren't printed on big canvases or in frames, they were just on gloss paper. I think this added an effect, it allowed the image to come to life and express the colors in the picture.
