Making It Up: Photographic Fictions.

At the VandA i visited the Making it up: Photographic Fictions exhibition. It explores the truthfulness of photography and has been employed throughout its history as a means of telling stories and evoking the imaginary. i enjoyed visiting this exhibition and learnt how there are many different ways of showing narrative through photography.


These images by Andy Weiner show the downfall of an extravagant womanising rake.



This image by Trish Morrissey shows the relationship between siblings as they impersonate relatives.




This image by Xing Danwen, shows a building for a new development. She places herself into the image to create a disturbing narrative.




In these series of images by Duane Michals, two men are passing each other in an alleyway without incident. The figures move in and out of shots, like a film.
