Artist: Sally Davies

how does the photographer creatively represent your chosen subject matter: My artist Sally Davies creatively represents photography with her unique perspective and her way of capturing and documenting in the streets.

What have i learned/how has this helped develop ideas:

Her work contributes to contemporary photography, through perspectives on the communities she documents. One of her important works is back in 2010 where she documented a Happy Meal daily to show its lack of decay over time. This project gained attention and highlighted themes of consumerism and the nature of food. This helps me think deeper thoughts and convey everything to be meaningful.

Context:

Sally Davies’ work includes many themes and movements of art and social issues. She is highly recognized for her street photography where she documents economic change over time. Her ability to show urban environments about identity and community is very strong. She likes to take photos through personal and communal perspectives of people in their everyday life and spread a value of health and sustainability. Her work also reflects women’s art and emphasized female perspective who also advocates gender equality.

What I like about the style:  I like how she clashes modern street elements with culture and many groups of people. She creates a image of combinations of a variety of unexpected pieces.

I like this last photo the best because of all the different elements it shows. Theres culture, graffiti, basic street conditions and the connections it shows to daily life is so strong and visualizing to see. The perspective it creates is interesting for me as it shows the lady centered and she seems to be looking upwards at something with a kid beside her being playful.
