NATURAL FORMS ..... this is our theme to start the course. We must think of Photography as a WAY OF SEEING. We need to be able to write about PHOTOGRAPHS in a sophisticated way for GCSE Photography.
Look at this PINTEREST on 'Natural Forms' and choose one photograph to write about...
Use this THEME page on THE NATURAL WORLD for an artist to focus on and produce a detailed, structured essay of PHOTOGRAPHIC WRITING on.

Karl Blossfeldt ‘has played his part in that great examination of the inventory of perception, which will have an unforeseeable effect on our conception of the world’
Over three decades, Blossfeldt produced 6000 photographs, using a homemade camera and lens that could magnify a subject by 30 times, to capture the microcosmic Photographic aesthetic of his specimens.
Today Blossfeldt's work is in the collections of the Museum Ludwig, Cologne; the National Library, Paris, the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York and many other important collections. Vintage silver prints are extremely scarce and command prices up to $50,000 each, depending on condition.
