This series of work is called Off Ground. Stephen Gill produced this work in 2011. I like this style of work that Gill produces because you can tell that he still puts thought into his composition even though he is photographing the simplest of objects. I also really like the fact that Gill has shot these images in black and white. I find that each shot has a beautiful tonal range to it. I am definitely considering shooting my final series of work in black and white because it is my favourite way of working. Displayed below are the photographs that stood out the most to me from the series 'Off Ground'. You can find this work through the following link. http://www.stephengill.co.uk/portfolio/portfolio

Stephen Gill's previous work

Here is a series of work that Stephen Gill has previously produced that has caught my eye. I think that this selection of images has taken my interest because it is so simple yet effective at the same time. The concept it so simple, yet this artist has still managed to make each individual shot look like a piece of artwork. I would definitely like to try something like this when it comes to my own photo shoot for this brief.
Stephen Gill has proven that you can take anything from your surroundings and you can turn that subject into art. This series of images is certainly one of my favourites from Stephen Gill's portfolio. You can find this selection of work by taking a look at his website.

A little bit about Stephen Gill

Best Before End
By Stephen Gill
(2013)


Stephen gill is a rather interesting photographer who was born in Bristol in 1971. Stephen Gill was generally interested in birds, animals and music at the beginning of his journey as a photographer. Gill took an interest in photography at quite a young age. Gill's work has been held in a number of private and public collections. His work has even been exhibited in a large number of galleries and museums.
Stephen Gill has produced a wide range of work that covers birds, bridges, billboards, blackberries, rubble and also people. I am really looking forward to producing a final series of work inspired by Stephen Gill because he has produced such a wide variety of work in the past. I particularly like the photograph that is displayed above. I love the richness of the colours that are used in the shot. This style of image seems to draw the viewer in. This shot makes me feel as if I want to know more.
Stephen Gill has also visited many places of education to hold talks about his work. Gill tells many students across a large number of universities how he views his surroundings on a daily basis.
