Alexey Titarenko

Alexey Titarenko is a photographer who uses long exposure to show the passing of time. I picked to look at his work because it is again a different style of photography and it uses a very different technique in order to show off the passing of time. He use long exposure to show the passing of time, 

In the photograph above Alexey Titerenko uses long exposure to show the passing of time as you can only just see some of the different people moving through the photograph. The people are clear and you can see that only a few people are in but you can see every move they make during the time the photograph is taken. This image shows the natural passing of time as nothing is forced or posed in these photographs they are all very natural and show a normal way of life.

In this image Alexey Titierenko has used long exposure in a very busy area to show the passing of the time. The number of people in the photograph has made it look very busy but the amount of people also help to show the passing of time because there is so much going on and none of the people can be seen in the photograph however you can make out some of them. The time that has passed is suggested to be a long period of time due to the amount of people being seen within the photograph. 

In this image the passing of time is show going up the stars at what would appear to be a train station. The exposure time adds to the idea of passing of time. In this image there is no one visible in the image and the gives the idea that they are moving fast and not stopping to even look at what is going on around them. The passing of time appears to be of an extended period of time as not that many people can go up the stairs at one point so it must be over a longer period of time due to the amount of blur in the picture.

In this photograph Alexey Titerenko has kept one person completely in focus and then the rest of the world has continued on around them, this has been done to show that the world doesn't stop for anyone. In this image the person has stood in the same place for a long time and this shows the passing of time as he isn't moving yet the rest of the world is. This photograph has kept the man clear and really shows off the movement over the time period. 

Alexey Titerenko has influenced my work in showing me that I can do long exposure photographs in the public and make them successful in showing the passing of time. His influence has also shown me that the photographs can look even more effective in black and white and can give off the desired effect that is needed. 

To summarise Alexey Titerenko is an artist who I really liked the work of and he has shown me a way in which to photograph long exposure shots in public and make them successful.  He has also shown me that making the photograph black and white can also look very good in this style of photography.
