For a project we did on the body these are the pictures I took. They are based on the work of a contemporary artist I found called Nigel Cox, who like Hopper uses detailed figures in his work, who appears to be concerned with something the viewer has to guess at. Unlike Hopper however Cox paints the backgrounds as vast, plain lanscapes that represent lanscapes in the artic, which has the effect of really highlighting the detail in the figures he paints. I hoped to mimick this is my photos, aiming to capture people in the middle of doing something seemingly private but the blank background means they could be anywhere.
