Chris Jordan
Remains of a business, St Bernard Parish
I decided that i would start off this project with a little artist research. Im going to look at the photographer Chris Jordan. He manages to create beautiful photos of waste. I really think there is something in the ability to be able to do this that is truly interesting. It brings a slight edge to taking photos of an already beautiful landscape. The trick to this is to make something not particularly beautiful look beautiful. It also then begins to dive into the question 'What is beauty?'. Who says that these waste landscapes are not beautiful? However Chris jordan does not take this view. Chris Jordan said that he 'uses beauty as a tool for seduction' to draw people in to show them the grave issues at hand.
