Bruce Gilden- Haiti Richard Billingham- Ray's a laugh

I decided to focus on both of these photographers at the same time as I would like to merge both of their styles together as one. Bruce Gilden's work in Haiti from my opinion is just as good, if not better, than his New York work purely due to the fact they are so captivating when referring to what he is actually photographing. In a similar sense Richard Billingham's 'Ray's a laugh' from both a technically and visual perspective is very clever...the tacky nature of the book, the cheap film with such a high grain rate used to capture each photograph reinforces the environment and mood of book as a whole. I would like to make my book a bit tacky and due to the fact that I have consciously shot this entire project with either expired or cheap film will allow me to reinforce this initial tacky quality. In a similar sense, I want to use Gilden's non ethical approach to photography to create photographs that are instantly captivating, evoking a reaction from the reader.
