Rut Blees Luxemburg works mainly in film - she says that this produces a more luminous image, she has an MA in Photography.
The image above is one of her well known images as it was used on the front cover of an album by band 'The Streets'. I really like that this image seems quite symetrical, the lines and rectangular shape of the building also make the picture a frame within a frame. I think that the quality of this image is great, Luxemburg uses mainly medium format film and i think that she was right to say that it gives a more luminous picture. She says that with her work, she tries to transform something which we would normally dismiss in to something enjoyable.
I thought that this guest lecture was very interesting an it sparked a lot of ideas in my head, i like that she photographs quite bland things and somehow turns them in to fantastic pictures which are visually and technically very good. This is an idea that i would like to apply to my future work.
