Julia fullerton Batten
Julia Fullerton Batten is My favourite photographer at the moment, I find her composites truly fascinating and inspiring while i've been creating my own. while researching other composite artists i found many to be comical and a bit 'cheesy'. Julia's images are very different to others i have seen . They have a very fine art feel, are serenely lit, all of the models look like they have been carefully placed into the perfect position. I would love to work out how she lights a scene, I think its fairly simple to light one still scene, but when you have to blend several together, getting the lighting just right so they all look convincing would be quite tricky.
'School days can be miserable, angsty and boring - or the best time of your life. So in her photographic series 'School Play', Julia Fullerton-Batten takes this to extremes and pictures school as halfway between Malory Towers and prison. Sticking to her signature style (artificially staged, immaculately finished and jarringly odd), Fullerton-Batten photographs cloned school girls going about the regimented rituals of boarding school. What she has to say about such establishments - or indeed about institutions in general - may not be entirely flattering, but with occasional instances of hair cutting, tearing up books (see Library, 2007, above) and stepping out of line, she does at least give her students a mild rebellious streak.''
