Aaron Yeandle

Today Aaron Yeandle came in a did a talk about his photography. He spoke about his different photographs he had taken over the past few years. The photos he showed us the most were his images he took when he spent about 18 months travelling throughout Asia, these images showed the vast differences of the countries that he visited.

He studied at both Burton College and Staffordshire University and in his early days of photography he took images of Stoke-on-Trent. He also took images of all the Union Jack items he could find in 2012 around the time of the jubilee and the Olympics.

When talking about his trip around Asia he showed us his images of China, Vietnam and Sri Lanka, he also visited Myanmar, Nepal, India, Cambodia, Laos and Thailand. I looked at all the images after his talk it showed a very vast selection of images judging by what he said he enjoyed his time and it truly helped his photography and allows you to get images you wouldn't get before.

After listening to his talk his images were really good and judging by what he said travel is a really ideal thing for photography as it shows you places you wouldn't normal visit, overall I enjoyed his talk and images.

These images show to me the vast differences in Aaron's photography the one closest to the text was taken during Aaron's journeys around Asia this image is vastly difference to the one below mainly due to the fact that the one at the bottom is mainly about Britishness and the Queen which we associated with riches whereas the photo in Asia looks like it is trying to symbolise a poor person.

The photo of the child in Asia is the more impressive to me because it is quite a striking image because it shows the area that he is in, it doesn't look the nicest place but with a car and a motorbike in the background it isn't as impressive as it could have been had they not actually been there.

This image to me displays a much richer part of life than the one above mainly due to the fact that it is about the Queen who is someone we normally associate with riches.
