Research Task: Aaron Siskind

 Hi Everyone, 

Today I would like to present you my last research for my media project

Name something you have researched for your project?

I have researched abstract photographer Aaron Siskind 

Explain how you researched this?

I looked on the internet for some articles about Abstract Photographer I found some informations about Aaron Siskind and it's quite interesting person. I found some articles about him an his story and how he decided to start doing photography.

What facts did you discover?
- Aaron dedicated himself to photographing details of nature and architecture, with a focus on the texture, lines and patterns.
-Siskind found emotional joy and tension in the process of discovering subjects and photographing them.
-Siskind turned away from the social/political world post-World War II, and instead looked inward to seek meaning in the mostly inanimate forms he observed around him.
-He won many awards for his photography, including a Guggenheim, Fellowship and Distinguished Photography Awards from the Friends of Photography. 

What NEW conclusion did you establish?
I haven't found much information to help me deduce anything new, but looking at his photography and style it's something I'll definitely be following for my project, hopefully copying his work a little.

How does it apply to the project?

In my own project I would like to make abstract photos of building and architecture as well so I will have a look at his work and I will try to use some of his skills in my final project.
