Portraits of Children Around the World and Where They Sleep by James Mollison

For my independent project I would love to do something along the lines of this photo essay but made out of pictures my parents took of children around the world. My parents were, and still are, avid travelers and I found that my mom loved to take pictures of the children. I hope to make a bound book made of slide images transferred onto either plain or textured paper.

Independent Project: Inspiration

Francisco Infante-Arana is a Russian photographer who uses mirrors in landscape photography to add a unique twist to typical landscapes of nature.  Francisco also works with his wife, Nonna Gorunova, who is also a photographer to create the complex images. They worked together during the Soviet Era which was known for its lack of alternative and modern artwork. They are considered even more remarkable as artist because they were creating such modern photographs during a period of great upheaval and artistic restraint. Their pictures were not only free of any computer manipulation, but they belong and are well entrenched in the film era, being from the 1970's and 1980's. Francisco was and still is one of Russia's leading avante-garde artists.
