Earlier in the academic year I visited the Market Street Gallery. I viewed a photography exhibition with a wide range of interesting pieces. The two images below display the two pieces that I was most drawn to in the exhibition.

On the left is three pieces that are a collection of images of benches that have been placed with the purpose of being a memorial for somebody. The collection documents peoples everyday lives around these wooden benches which are all similar in appearance but hold very different stories and are in unique places around Edinburgh. I was inspired by this work because of the deep meaning behind it as well as the interesting composition of each photograph.

The right image displays a piece by Ron O’Donnell, one of my lecturers at Edinburgh Napier University. Within the photograph is a piece of art, constructed by the photographer. This method is interesting and I think it is very effective in creating a unique and eye-capturing photograph.
