Pinterest Board:
By creating a pinterest board, it is a good way to gain more ideas for the project and also a really easy way to display your images.
August Sander
The aim with Sanders typology was all about the German society between the two world wars. Sanders idea was that he would create a record of images of the social types of classes and the relationship between them and also to recognise the display of his pictures. Just by looking at these images they are so powerful but with just one single fire they were all destroyed when the Nazis came into power.

These are my first typologies, which I have created by using my mothers old tapes which she had kept them since late 1970's. I didn't really have an idea on what type of typology I should do but by doing some research on different photographers that creates typologies, I was able to find a project that has focused on tapes and I had found it really interesting but they had only photographed the tape itself but I wanted to expand my idea by creating photograms. This is because I thought that it would be more interesting to look at and also would be more experimental. So trying to find them tapes that my mum loved was kinda hard because we had kept them in a cardboard at one point but when we have moved houses they were all in boxes but then I remembered that that we had placed them inside the attic. So I choose some of these tapes in particular this is because I wanted to try out how the see through tapes came out, if the writing on them will come out or just blur out on the paper. When I went into the dark room I said to myself that I didn't have no hope it wasn't going to turn out the way you want but I still wanted to try, so when I was in the dark room I done all of the tapes and dried them off. The next day I had went back into the darkroom to take them out, when I had viewed my photograms they had turn't out the way I wanted.

When we went out for a school trip to visit the science museum I was interested in the fact that all of the frames that were hanged on the wall and while looking at them from a distance for example once you walk through the door you would realise that it would be a typology. I think this because each frame was hanged separate from the others but they were all hanged from the same angle and the same height from the wall.

Bernd and Hilla Becher
“The question 'is this a work of art or not?’ is not very interesting for us.”
Bernd and Hilla Becher is an german photographer which he photographs old industrial buildings in a manner related to industrial archaeology. Bernard was born at Siegen and he had studied graphics and art at the Stuttgart and Dusseldorf Academies, he had began to make paintings of industries and after a while he became interested in buildings and then began collecting old photographs that he had taken throughout his career and after a few years he gave up painting and decided to become a photographer. Moving on to Becker she was born in Berlin, and had studied photography in Potsdam and worked as a photographer in an advertising section. But after a while he gave up on advertising and decided to start again from the start and begun to study at Dusseldorf Academy, where she was taught in the photographic department, and where Bernd and Hilla Becher had met and decided to work together. Bernd and Hilla Becher had decided to arrange their pictures of the industrial architecture in grids or sequence them in monographs.

I have chosen to create a typology of some of my family members. I have selected a plain background this is because by using a different background it would of looked a bit to much so plain was just right because it shows more of the faces. I used my mobile phone to take the images, which turned out really successful this is because I had changed my settings and selected a grid on my camera view so while taking the pictures of them individually I would take all of the pictures in the same angle.
