CREATIVE PURPOSE - Jill Cole

Jill Cole is a photographer who came to talk to us in college. Her photographs are mainly documentary and wildlife. She takes photographs on army bases and takes pictures of new recruits.



She told us the story of a boy that she took a photograph of, he has just started in the army. She then took another picture of him about 1 year later when he had left the army. In the first picture he looked like a young man, but in the second photograph he looked like a child again.


She also takes pictures of birds that have been caught in a massive net. The net is there to capture the birds so that researchers and count and see how the different birds are going. She has taken picture of the many birds these nets have captured.


I am not keen on her images, as I find them a little plain and boring. But I like how all of the images have a little story about them.
