My Photography Project will focus on cityscapes of London showing different people engaged in various activities at different times and locations around the city. The document provides background on photographers John Clang and Jeff Wall, whose work also features city landscapes and explores themes of everyday life, time, and human existence within urban environments. It concludes with a brief mention of including panoramic cityscape photographs in the portfolio to provide different perspectives of the city.

2. Cityscape
Definition: The visual appearance of a city or urban area; a city landscape
My project will be cityscapes and have a focus on what people are doing something
within the city.
I will have people model for my photographs staged so they are posed how I want or
doing what I want them to be doing in the photograph the city landscape will be the
background.
My project is about how different people use London at different times of day and at
different locations.

2009, he gained gallery representation by 2902 Gallery and Singapore Art Museum

5. Jeffery “Jeff” Wall
Jeffery “Jeff” Wall was born September 29 1946 is a Canadian artist who is best
known for his large-scale backlit ilfochrome photographs. Wall has been a big part
of the Vancouver art scene since the early 70’s, his photographs often contain a
mixture of Vancouver’s natural beauty, urban decay and postmodern with industrial
featurelessness as their backdrop. Wall experimented with conceptual art while an
undergraduate at UBC. He then made no art until 1977, when he produced his first
backlit photo transparencies. Many of these are staged and refer to the history of
art and philosophical problems of representation.

perspective, allowing the viewer to visually experience more of the city. As well as
panoramas within city streets, from bridges and rivers, there are also panoramic
skylines.
