As part of my media project, I want to ensure a variety of primary and secondary sources have been used as both part of and to develop my research into the types of genres and photographers I may decide to show influence from in my final outcome demonstrated in my digital portfolio, hence why I made a return to my hometown of Hull and visited the Feren’s Art Gallery as I knew the work on display would be the originals and therefore a primary source example.
As my attention is drawn to wildlife photography of both land and aquatic, this digital print by photographer Tracey Lund captioned ‘Thirsty Lion’ is a prime example of the type of images I may want to consider for my portfolio
Another image by Tracey Lund, this photograph is captioned as ‘Safety at Night’ as according to the Feren’s Art Gallery exhibition guide of 2020 and again is relevant to my research and project as elephants are part of our wildlife.
Originally exhibited in 1882 in London, The Lion at Home (1881) is the third and final piece of work I came across when exploring the exhibition and is a painting by Victorian yet French artist Rosa Bonheur.
According to the plaque beside the painting, Bonheur was a successful artist when it came to depicting animals and apparently it’s been recorded that she shared a studio with Nubian lions.
The plaque in which a brief history about Bonheur and her The Lion at Home artwork
Both digital prints by Tracey Lund can be seen on this page, however in order to find them quicker the display numbers are 2 and 25.
