I went to an exhibiton at the film and photography museum in Bradford by Simon Roberts
Some images were very strong, like this one above : South Downs Way, West Sussex, 8th October 2007
And this one below titled Ladies' Day, Aintree Racecourse, Merseyside 4th April 2008. I wondered if this was landscape or social documentary in the style of Parr.
Some of the images seemed less strong in my opinion, like the following, Cotswold Water Park, Shornecote, Gloucestershire, 11th May 2008. None the less all the images worked well together and had a good theme, I felt that they showed a good cross section of the community :
Also there was another exhibition on at the same time by Robbie Cooper, which had been reviewed in the times recently :
I very much enjoyed this exhibiton too, the images used were striking to say the least.
People are immersed in screen media for longer periods and with more intensity than ever before. From children watching television to people living out second lives through online virtual worlds, Robbie Cooper’s imagery captures the many ways in which people choose to disengage from everyday life.
