Ryan Weideman Street Photographer and Taxi Driver

Ryan Weideman (born 1941)  came to New York as a Photographer in 1980, planning on focusing on Street Photography in the city. He started driving a Yellow Tax Cab to generate a steady income with the cab and its passengers becoming the subjects in his street photography. Ryan drove a cab in NYC until 2016 and published a book of his work in 1991. Examples of his black and white portraits are included in American Museum collections including Brooklyn Museum and The Art Institute of Chicago

Martin Wilson - Interesting Approach to Sequence Photography

 Martin Wilson takes sequences of carefully posed and considered photos. His Artworks or final images are made using his Contact Sheets blown up large scale. This is slow and careful and very methodical

He has not published any work for about 7 years on his website, but his work in incredible and an interesting take on sequence or joiner photography

A Level Exam 2024 - Observe Seek Challenge - Hokusai Woodcut Prints - Views of Mount Fuji

 Hokusai produced a series of 36 Woodcut prints between 1830 -  1832 showing views of Mount Fuji in Japan. The Prints were so successful and popular that he produced a further 10 prints on the same theme

Some, like the Great Wave, a symbol of the power of nature with a view point that puts us in a choppy sea far off the coast of Japan are famous. Some use very interesting compositions with use of negative shapes and the Mountain in the background almost like a Wheres Wally.

Mount Fuji seen from a range of different viewpoints is an interesting visual device to connect together the series of prints as well as showing how central the large mountain is in that part of Japan
