Harvey A level Photography
My name is Harvey Cantrill Baker and I am a year 12 pupil at Thomas Tallis school. This website allows me to display and document the work I am doing over the time of this linear 2 year course. I have chosen A level photography because of my interest in the art. I love the idea that photography is the only median in which you are able to record the world so directly, whilst at the same time, having the ability to create entirely abstract photographs. Over my time in this two year corse, I will be exploring and documenting this. Having completed the GCSE level photography corse I have some incite into a decent range of photographic techniques. This year, I hope to refine my knowledge and ability in photography. I'm more of a street photographer over anything else but I do really enjoy constructing photograms.

One of my favourite genres of photography is street photography, I really like the work of Bruce Gilden, especially his series of photographs made on extremely detailed portraits of some very rough looking people. Below are some from the selection taken in places from Papua New Guinea to England.
These images are both shocking and interesting, you can't really look away. You He is well known for these unique photographs. He is also well know for his earlier work, of which is very different in style, these photographs were of hardcore gangsters, some Japanese, some Russian, some Latin American, below are some of these photos.
and of corse, Bruce Gilden has taken some classic street photography, yet again, using flash. His technique consists of having an external flash on his camera meaning he can light the subject from whatever angle he wants, I have one of these and I really enjoy using it. The other advantage of using a flash is that you can freeze the subject, freezing the subject
