jill cole

Jill moved into photography as a second career after working for twelve years as an agricultural economist. In 2004, with two young children at home, joined Cleveland College of Art and Design, to study for a degree course and graduated in 2008.

 

Wanting to find a way of producing work without travel or huge cost, Jill produced Guns in 2007. It was a way of commenting on larger issues in a local way. In this case, about how guns are present in our everyday lives.

 

Leading from that, Jill went on to photograph army recruits, noticing how young they were. This work won her the Fujifilm Student Awards in 2007. This was a great boost and as this was significant, Jill decided to revisit one of the recruits a year later. He had since left the army and Jill made a short documentary of him.

this image is interesting to me because it shows life in the split moment in which we blink we can miss something i love the short depth of field used in this image 

this image is one of my favorite images of jill coles images because it shows the humanity even in the militant forces showing the pain in the soldiers eyes.

information on her career and life

Luxemburg studied photography at London College of Communication and gained her last formal education at the University of Westminster.

She employs long exposures to allows her to use the light emanating from the street only, for instance from office blocks or street lights in her photos.

Luxemburg created a series of images for the London Underground in 2007.

she also took the photograph for The Streets album original pirate material which was taken in London 

i chose to use this image on my blogger because it shows the advertising that she  did for The Streets along with the nice vibrancy of the orange/yellow tint to make it feel warm

i chose this image to display because it is interesting with the light and the writing on the wall, i like the layout of the image  because of the different colours in the image 

this is a portrait of rut blees Luxemburg the artist 

Jon Burgerman

i like this image because of the vibrant colours and abstraction of his art it makes the images more appealing to the younger generation and it has a style of graffiti which is very unique
