Portraits - Lars Andersen

Lars Andersen

I was trying to look for a photographer who had done similar work to my alleyway idea but couldn't find anyone. I then found a man named Lars Andersen; he isn't a well known photographer because there isn't much of his work on the internet but he did a very interesting piece of work that works with an alleyway too. Andersen lives in Norway and has been a pro photographer since 1999. His idea was that he decided to take photos of the same alleyway over the duration of 10 years. These pictures aren't taken from the same place like mine are but every photograph has a person or people in them which is a similarity to my work. You can tell that Andersen has captured these over a period of time as the alleyway is clear in some of the images but in others it is filled with snow. I feel as though I can relate to Andersens work because he had to wait for a very long time to get these photos and although I know I didn't have to wait 10 years, it still shows an element of patience because there was times that no one was walking down the alleyway and for Andersen to do this over the course of 10 years is very admirable and I very much respect his work.
