I found the use of mosaic to present the images in Matt Collishaw's 'Eighth Day' interesting as it firstly encourages the viewer to get close and examine the image in more detail but also questions the difference between photography and art.
The use of colour tinting in David Benjamin Sherry's landscapes acts to change the viewers perception of the scene by changing the general mood. For example this image below being tinted purple gives it a gloomy, mysterious feel.
I liked the presentation of Meredith Sparks' work as it shows the images cut out and stood upright so it becomes 3-dimensional, making it almost a sculpture piece.
Sohei Nishino's 'Dioramas' of Tokyo, New York and London were interesting as multiple images were used to create one image but in a different way to the work of people like David Hockney as Nishino's bigger image is a fictional composite of the cities, rather than a composite of a real image.
I liked the use of shape to present the images by Adam Broomberg and Oliver Chanarin. I later found out the images are the parts of photos covered up by circle stickers, blown up bigger which is interesting as it shows how much can go on in one photo as these are just tiny sections of them. It also leaves the viewer wondering about the rest of the image and the background of it.
