The first artist I chose to post about is Janet Delaney and her photo series “Public Life Matters.” This series is appealing to many people because of the film aesthetic, color and detail. The fashion and hair take us back to the 1980’s. These images have resurfaced after about three decades when Janet was archiving slides and negatives from her 1980s South of the Market project. Many images in this book reflect a sense of great pride and solidarity. For this project she worked with a 4x5 view camera. She never worked or thought of herself as a documentarian photographer she always made photographs for the pleasure of photographing. “Not only did I care about the causes, I also loved swimming with the crowd, camera in hand, being swept up in the sound of heat of the moment.”I chose to write about Janet Delaney because I think the style of photography will be similar to the way that I am looking to make photographs for my project. It is helpful to read about different photographers and their ways of working with photographing the public.
