Roger Ballen

I recently visited Manchester Art Gallery where I saw some really interesting work by Roger Ballen, a photographer who just works in black and white. Although this wasn't appropriate for my project, I thought his work was really powerful as some of it I found quite disturbing as he likes to play with the differences between reality and fantasy. I also liked that some of his photographs felt like a drawing because of the smooth textures, and his juxtapositions between key elements, playing with your eyes.
