“Postmodernism is a late 20th-century style and concept in the arts, architecture, and criticism, which represents a departure from modernism and is characterized by the self-conscious use of earlier styles and conventions, a mixing of different artistic styles and media, and a general distrust of theories.”

This image shows the use of technology and how it has played a massive part in photography for many years and it is used to capture amazing memories and they have been shared with the world. A photograph can show many things and can make you perceive things differently this is what I enjoy most about photography the way you make the audience feel and look at your work inspires you to create more. The thing I like most about this photograph is the people with in it and how casual they look, showing that capturing the moment is so important to remember.
Andy Warhol was a very iconic artist his work included many celebrities such as Marilyn Munroe, the
style of his work is still used today by many people that are inspired by his work. My second image is of 100 coke bottles (http://www.historygraphicdesign.com/the-age-of-information/postmodern-design/1070-andy-warhol) this was a very popular piece of pop art in the 60s as cokewas the trend. Warhol said that whoever the person is and whatever their status in society is “a coke is a coke and no amount of money can get you a better coke”. The repetition of his work attracts me because it is the same thing over and over but the bottles are still interesting to look at. Even when you deconstruct his images because of the repetition the same image is produced at the end of it making his work so unique and successful.
Finally, my third image is a sequence of images by Richard Longo (http://alastair27mancoll.blogspot.co.uk/2013/01/post-modern-photography.html). I am attracted to this image as it reveals body language of the individual. In all three images the model isn’t looking directly at the camera and the different body positions look uncomfortable making you look at the image for longer. These images are very corporate and looking at more of his images they all have the same style, there are three images and all are in suits. This reveals that Richard has a certain pattern to his work and its very peculiar to look at.
