North East Stories - Research- Part one of the project

Im not sure how i can go into how im researching this part of the project as ive been told to keep it to myself so it can be discussed when the hand in date comes around. But what i can say is i was very much givin the idea and inspiration from a lecture i had with Antony when he was showing us photographers and there one images that tell a story. When he showed us a painting called Ophelia which is a story. The story of Ophelia is told in Shakespheres Hamlet and is about a woman who was to marry Hamlet and she went to a brook to collect flowers and she fell into the water and drownd "incapable of her own distress" She just lay there for a while before her dress filled with water and pulled her to the debths.

 After he should us this painting he then showed some photographers take on this painting and story.

The above Photograph is by Tom Hunter and this is his version of Ophelia

The above image is by Gregory Crewdson and again his version of Ophila.

I felt very much inspired by this type of photography and recreating so i have picked my own story and intend on recreating my own Ophilia at some point to.
