What made me be attracted to the magazine?
The front cover of the margazine, is the main attractiation that pulled me to look at the margazine.
As the still photograph of the flapping colourful bird caught my eye as I was interested to found more information about the front cover photograph.
Also, another way that I was attracted to this magazine was when I was having a quick look through the pages inside the Photography magazine. But then I stopped at to look at the variety of camera shots on pages 22-23, showing the representation of life and nature in Shanghai, China. Furthermore the front cover image of the flapping, colourful bird was also on these pages too, as I found out more information out about this animal.
Writing up an article in the magazine.
In the magazine, (pages 30-31), talks about Jordan Madge and his photography. I have learnt from reading the long article on these pages, that the rural outer suburbs of Melbourne, where Jordan Madge lived, had a big influence on the way, he takes his photographs.
As Jordan Madge is a graduate in documentary photography, he takes his approach is 'slow-burning' with 'an appetite for Victorian landscapes'. For his latest project, he reflected this 'Victorian landscape' background, by using the real-life disappearance of a girl in central Victoria as his starting point.
The project 'Red Herring', Jordan Madge developed his interest to 'in found imagery' to make the project to explore the process of visual storytelling, that the viewer has to piece the imagery together to tell the 'fragmented' narrative of the 'real-life mystery'.
Jordan Madge made the narrative to this project 'fragmented', as the imagery makes the story go backwards and forwards between the fact and fiction of the narrative to the project.
As he stated for the research of the girl's story and disappearance to collect the facts, he went to different places and taken photos of anything to help with telling the story of the girl's disappearance.
