Reflections 5 Photography - Artist Research


Sally Mann - These sets of images completely jumped out at me whilst doing research. They’re absolutely simple but stunning and very powerful.
I love the concept and the high contrast black and white used.

For my own work this will be my main inspiration behind my own meaning. I’d like to set out my work with a similar theme.










William Utermohlen


When he learned in 1995 that he had Alzheimer’s disease, William Utermohlen, an American artist living in London, immediately began work on an ambitious series of self-portraits. The artist pursued this project over an eight-year period, adapting his style to the growing limitations of his perception and motor skills and creating images that powerfully documented his experience of his illness. The resulting body of work serves as a unique artistic, medical, and personal record of one man’s struggle with dementia.
