Meet Rosie Hardy!
I found her on Flickr one lovely day of my life.
Her name is Rosie Hardy and she lives in London, England. She does alot of self portraits and is super good at photoshop. She does not really have a general focus that her photography circles around. But you can tell from her other photography that she likes scary grudgey stuff as well. She also layers a lot of textured photos over her original photos to give the photo different textures. As a result of this it can set the tone of the photo, such as grudgey or very graceful. She uses photoshop to create non-existing things, such as a floating chair, or hands in place of a person's head. I really enjoy her photos because she always comes up with someone new and creative rather than just being repetitive. She explores the realm of photography on another level. If you have time you should really check out her Flickr, your eyes will explode with happiness.

To my fellow classmates...
What do you think is the message she's trying to send out with each individual photo?
Peace in the Middle East
To be completely honest, I am not sure what message she is trying to cen I see pictures like rosiehardys, I always think they are really cool, but I often wonder whether she was even trying to convey a certain message. I agree, the pictures are amazing, and it is hard for me to interpret them. I think the one with the flowers has a lot to do with speaking and with personal identity. The one with the chair reminds me of a fairy tale, thats about it, and the one with the balloons reminds me of childhood. I wish I knew if they all had a deeper symbolic reference!
ReplyDeleteI've always really liked Rosie Hardy's work, but I'm not sure if they have a particular message behind them. I think, they're more of ideas, rather than messages. She creates really cool atmospheres for her photos, and gets you really engaged in them! (:
