digital technology two week 4 richard mosses

what genre/s does richard mosses  'the enclave " fit into ?


 richard mosses work fits into the documentary genre but not in the traditional way .the way he takes these photos bends the rules of the documentary genre .his use of infared film breaks the tradition of documentary photography where the photos are shown as the scene is whether that be in black and white of in the natural colors of the scene



what is the history that relates to this project ?

the war in east congo

 is there anything in his own history that influences this work  

richard mosses grew up in ireland with a quaker background  he grew up with the knowledge of the events in  ireland at that time 

why did he choose to use kodak infared film for this project

his choice to use infared film for  this project was inspired by the army's use of it to show what was hidden i.e people hidden among the the greenery . richard  mosses wanted to use this film to revile the war to people to


how does this film fit into the documentary genre 

out of the ordinary not tridisnial for this type of work


how many times has he been to the eastern congo for this project ? why do you think he has been back so many times ?



richard mosses has been to the congo 8 times over 8 years


what justification does he have for cheating such beautiful images to represent such horrific events ?why would he be criticized for this ?how does this differ from other war photographs you  have seen ? 


he's trying to reveal the conflict like never before yo think its just a nice landscape at first then you start seeing what's actually happening as the photos go on
