MY PICTURES:
ABOUT DOROTHY BOHM
"I have spent my lifetime taking photographs. The photograph fulfils my deep need to stop things from disappearing. It makes transience less painful and retains some of the special magic, which I have looked for and found. I have tried to create order out of chaos, to find stability in flux and beauty in the most unlikely places." Dorothy Bohm
This quote is full of meaning for me. In only a few sentences, Bohm has summed up the importance of photography for many photographers including me. If you think her attitude is amazing, you will be blown away by her pictures.
The composition in this photograph is incredible and it is clear she has a natural talent. She has captured so many emotions and so much atmosphere in this one photo that no words are needed to go with it; it speaks for itself.
It also shows that some pictures are better off without colour to be distracting and to give false emotions.
Her pictures have inspired me so much. She had a camera which was of pretty bad quality yet she produced such amazing pictures.
I loved her black and white photos the most so I decided to do a mini project on absence of colour based on her work; a modern Dorothy Bohm
I got on a bus to Norwich city centre, with my camera, to capture some magic moments.
I went to her gallery which was on display in the Sainsbury centre in the University of East Anglia. I could have spent all day looking at her pictures, taking notes and then looking over the whole gallery again. I don’t know why but some of her photos moved me so much.
