Jade Birchnall uses a medium format film camera and enjoys shooting her images in black and white. She did a series of images featuring a home of elderly people and the nuns who cared for them. Each individual portrait of each person really portrays and shows that particular persons character. I found the photographs very interesting and moving because it just shows how sad and lonely some of the elderly residents actually were because you can jut see it in their expressions yet their individual character still shines through.
My favourite series of images that she did were the ones of the strippers, i liked them because they pushed the boundaries of art showing that she did not care what others thought of her work. I liked how the images were in black and white because it gave a dark contrast and highlighted the imperfections on each women's body. also in each of the images you can see a slight innocence in some of the women's eyes, maybe because they are embarrassed of what they do, maybe they have no other option, it brings mystery to the images.
