I have picked Bobby Adams as one of my photographers as i feel he shows the effects of ageing and he shows the similarities between the genetic material of different generations. I feel his work is showing a good contrast of young and old and it is evidence of ageing.
This photograph is showing Bobby himself at a later stage in his life compared to a photograph from when he is younger. He physically rips photographs and glues them together. He then puts the pictures together to recreate the original face.
This is another approach Bobby takes, this is one of his photographs showing two women from the same bloodline. I like the way he shows the contrast of the old woman directly with the young woman. It is showing the evidence of ageing as it is showing what the younger woman will most probably look like when she is that age also.
This is another photograph which is showing the same person but at a young age and again at a later stage in life. Again this shows a great contrast between young and old and it shows the effect of ageing on one person over their life course.
This photograph is of two people of a similar age whose photographs have been put together, to show the difference between genders and how they age, this shows a good example of evidence of how different genders age.
His work has influenced me because i feel his work is a good evidence of the life experience of ageing. I like the way it shows two different people at different or similar ages next to each other or the same person at different stages of their life. I feel that this is something that i would like to do myself as i feel it ties in well with the topic of life experience which is something that i would like to focus on.
In summary i feel that i would like to try and create images similar to Bobby as it provides a great way of showing contrast between age and genetics, I feel this would be good for the life experience side of my project. I like Bobby's work as it is a creative way of showing the contrast which i feel can be used to show many other contrasting items such as eye colour, gender etc.
