I have been searching on the websites for various artists what can inspire me to go out and take images.

 

Nov 14th- Jan 31st:

 

 This image is by Ann Carlson and Mary Ellen Strom, this image tells me that there is a sense of freedom in this workplace, the positioning of thw subjects is well used and how every individual workman is in a different position or pulling a different pose.
This gives an insight of what perhaps men are hoping to do when working in a office job, everything is restricted to do the same thing everyday but inside sometimes they want to break lose for a few moments and this could be a rare sight although it is set up.

 Lars Tubnjork  portrays what he sees as the melancholy and absurdity of modern-day office life and the struggle of the individual against corporate homogeneity. He observes individuals tailoring their environments to their needs—a shoeless man stretching his legs under his desk, another man talking on the telephone tucked under his desk.
Lars Tunbjörk also uses body language and formal constructions to capture the hierarchal levels of office life.
A woman crouches under a desk organizing papers while her boss stands above by the window, for example. In many of his pictures there is a sense that something is festering under the surface or behind closed doors.

 

 Looking at this image, seeing that it is someones office or cubical with snapshots of loved ones and pets is another way workers venture to fight the uniformity and impersonality of the workplace, often revealing more of their personal lives than intended.
Karen Yama's photographs of such different arrangements are odd still lifes that expose our desire to modify our work spaces to feel more like home.

 

 

 Thomas Demand re-creates media-based photographs by painstakingly making and photographing full-scale, three-dimensional models of his subjects.
Although Demand’s subject may seem boring and commonplace, his work often carries cultural or political relevance and offers a smart critique of mass media. In much of his work the relevance of the paper itself is the subject of the picture.This office copy machine is also laden with cultural myths concerning fraud and breaks in confidentiality.

 

Edwards Burtynsky

 

 

 

 

The massive scale of the transformation that has taken place in China is visualized in Edward Burtynsky's photographs of enormous manufacturing plants employing thousands of workers.
Edward used a large-format camera and filling the frame with rows and rows of production lines, the factories and the workers become almost infinite. In some of his images, such as Manufacturing, Youngor Textiles, Nigbo, Zhejiang Province, one person visibly stands out alone.

This image, along with certain others in the series, disclose the presence of a personal story behind each of the millions of factory workers and provide a reminder that individuals are implicated in these seemingly autonomous processes.
