Andre Kertesz

I researched Andre Kertesz for this brief as I have already researched him before and thought his work is very relevant to what I was to achieve. Here are a few of his images that I think are most relevant.

This first image really caught my eye when I came across it. I really like the way that it looks surreal with the way the bridge at the top looks like its just been edited on. This gives a sense that there is two images in one, with the busy people on the bridge and the quiet man sat on his own at the bottom.

I put this photograph in as when I read about it I found out that the train wasn't actually there in the image, he added it in after.  With the train in the photograph it adds to the busy town affect, with everyone doing there own thing. There is a lot of distance and depth in this photograph giving a lot to look at.

This is my favourite photograph as its very surreal. You have to look at the photograph more than once to full understand it. From first looking at this image its almost as if the man with the umbrella is walking on water and that the street lights are just floating on top. But then when you look at the image again you see that its just a very rainy day, this is good photo manipulation.


Andre Kertesz has a lot of very interesting work which I would like to produce myself. I will use some of his techniques and style of working in my own photographs.
