Richard Wentworth
Wentworth is traditionally a Sculptor who is focused on the idea of the alteration and transformation of everyday objects and made a series called "Making Do and Getting By" where he photographed everyday objects that were left in the street often abandoned like rubbish. I think the use of soft cloudy/ overcast lighting further stimulates the feeling of isolation of the objects. The objects also act as an impracticable and odd replacements for the standard practical objects that would be used. In terms of camera height most is looking down at the objects.
Vera Lutter
When comparing the photographers in terms of aesthetics I find that Luxemburg's work is intimidating due to the choice of working with ambient/street lighting where with Wentworth's work I find to be intimate and inviting due to the use of soft lighting and with Lutter's work I find to be unsettling and scary due to the choice of keeping the photograph unchanged. What I find similar between Luxemburg and Lutter's work is that you get a lot of detail in the photographs and the shapes and lines are very similar. Comparing Wentworth to Luxemburg and Lutter, Wentworth focuses on the intimate details by only looking at objects within the space of an urban environment while the other two don't really focus on that much singular detail.
