The Genius of Photography - Documents for Artists

While i was at the gallery today i went into the TV and media part of the exhibition and you were able to pick out past TV shows that you wanted to watch. I had a quick flick through the book to see if i could see something fun to kill a bit of time. I came across this. It wasn't the type of thing that i was intending to watch however i though i would go ahead and have a look see if anything interesting came up...

Most of it was about the industrial revolution and the incoming of machines. However i did find a little part that would be useful for this project. There was a little section on an artist named Karl Blossfeldt. I have pulled some screen grabs from the video to put into here.

It goes on to say how he made many images like this and placed the side by side in this style of layout so that you can see the similarity's and differences of the plants. 

This is a really interesting idea. The way that he has a large variety of the same item and he has line them up to be able to see how much they differ from one another. This could possibly a good concept to try and give my own twist too.  Would maybe however choose something personal to me.
