Blake Ogden
I really enjoy Blake Ogdens work for many reasons. First off I really love the nostalgic feel that it creates when you are looking at his images. I also love the personification in some of the images that is created with the objects that he photographs. These images create somewhat of a narrative within the work that makes you wonder what the story is behind these objects. Ogden builds a relationship between the objects, himself, and the viewer that is unique.
Ogden's been in many solo exhibitions and publications. Some of which include The Photo Review in 2001 and 2000, Plates to Pixels Magazine in 2009, and Intimate History in 2009 to name a few.
The reflection on the past is what really draws me to Ogdens work however. I feel that in theme it may be similar to my own work this semester. Also the way he shows relationship between the dolls in two of the pictures is similar to the concept of relationship within my own work.
