Larry Clark

My initial thought upon seeing Clarks work was to be stunned by how blunt and graphic his photographs are. Possibly showing young adults in what they now do. The images appear to be in filthy and small flats or houses, could be implying working class people. The image is also, clearly, very informal, this is visible through the ambient light and in what the subjects a literally doing.

                 The meaning or purpose of these images would possibly be used in exhibitions. Possibly to show how sex and drug fuelled young adult life is. The images appear to be subjective and not staged, almost as though these images not only show the audience young adult life, but also his own. Upon seeing these images I knew straight away Clark's work would be discarded as disgusting and unrealistic.

                  Colour, the images are in black and white with rather soft shades. This may have been done meaningly to perhaps emphasise a kind of grungy look, or it may have been unintentional due to the lack of quality in the camera

                  Equipment, probably a 35 mm film camera with very limited other equipment, this is shown by the lack in quality of the images. Probably a pretty basic 50 mm lens.
