"Deadpan"

Deadpan Photography is the style and theme for my written Essay, I know that a deadpan image could potentially be in every genre of photography.  The Deadpan shot could range from landscape to portraits.  It is neutral photography without bias and it is and insightful focusing, often revealing life and recording changing times. I have looked up The Deadpan image for my essay and have realised that I can literally go down every route with this as my main idea.  I've decided to stick with deadpan to be my main topic area and to research and find the works around this topic for my journal and final project theme.

Because Deadpan is an image taken with honesty, credibility and without prejudice, anything taken with them three quality classes as deadpan.  It could be so open, I could work with portraits and the body or landscapes and switch up my ideas as long as I stick to the general theme of Deadpan.  I have found a general list of the types of deadpan and ideas that I shall look up throughout my Blog Journal.

• Historical Sites,
• Landscapes,
• Industrial Spaces,
• Portraits, 
• Urban Spaces, 
• Architecture, 
• Life on the Street/Society,
• Transitional Spaces / a Changing World. 

This leaves me with so many different options to go from, but there are plenty of photographers to discuss and look at.  Examples of deadpan photographers that I want to include are Candida Hofer, Simone Nieweg, Edward Burtynsky, Thomas Ruff, Gabriele Basilico, Taksahi Homma, Eugene Atget.
