A superb interpretation of the brief. The images offer surprise and at first glance seem to maybe be letters from the alphabet. The use of the soft edges adds an extra dimension and work very well as a triptych.. The images are strong as single photographs but added together become something special which would work well in a gallery setting.
Sometimes the best images are the ones that put a smile on our faces. This sweet series brings out the best in all of us. The use of a shallow depth of field highlights the lovely smile on the young girls face that lights up the whole scene. A wonderful set especially during lockdown and Covid. Nice and upbeat.

The clean lines run throughout all the photographs. Their is a real sense of a story running between the images and this visual link between paper pages, pens and a book blend perfectly together. The graphic quality and use of B/W really draws the viewer in and the fact we cant quite see into the book adds an extra intrigue as to what maybe written on the paper. Clever and beautifully considered and photographed.
The clever use of the background colour and the updated pint of beer compared to the classic milk really adds an extra dimension to the work. We the audience get to see how shapes are created and perfectly formed by the cameras shutter in this triptych. An excellent study in photographs and no doubt a good drink after all the hard work.
A really clever use of how best to present a triptych. The blue colour hues are perfectly complemented by the subject matter and use of macro. The circle can be seen as an eye and this again adds that extra attention to detail that makes this set really stand out from the crowd. Clean and well presented. A great interpretation of the brief.
Brief

The opportunities that open up when three images are displayed alongside each other are many. The triptych in art has often been used to show a single scene sliced into three, perhaps with changes of viewpoint. But the presentation of a series of images on a given subject can be used in many other ways too - to show changes over time, changes in behaviour, changes under different conditions, or several varieties or examples of it. All of which can vastly enrich our understanding and appreciation of a subject, and bring a narrative arc into the series. There is no limitation on subject matter in this contest, and the ways in which your three images relate to each other, and are presented, is for you to decide.

A classic subject for a triptych. You use the space side on view and straight to camera viewpoint to really add depth to the images. as does the shooting from a low position to highlight and offer a sense of tribute to the subject. The black & white adds real punch and the eye just moves across the images very well. Congratulations you have captured the brief very well.
It's the clever and design elements of this made triptych that really elevates this set. The slight single black lines that divide the photographs is perfectly done and really draws attention to the subject. The strong use of highlights against the black background works very well and as the image continues across the fine lines we keep going with it. Clean, simple and very well done.
Sometimes we don't need to travel far to gain inspiration and a great subject matter. This beautifully realised series is simple but the use of macro lens and fine detail give weight to the work. The subject remains known to the viewer and these classic elements really make for a strong set of photographs. The slight shift of focus adds a real extra layer and these are a very well put together set.
Some photographs can't reveal the true story in one image. This triptych perfectly details this theory. The sense of drama and story telling only starts to revel itself by the use of several images placed next to each other in order to show the audience what is happening. The images offer a surreal element and this only adds to the intrigue. The sense of scale which changes between the images adds another layer of intrigue. Nicely observed.
Delicate and simple wins out. The quality of the light is matched by the composition and subtle use of colour that makes this set really stand out. The attention is in the original idea and the set up which needs to be perfect in order to work so well. Beautiful still life's that work very well and something we could all live with on our walls.
A really novel way of interpreting the brief. The use of polaroids and pegs to create the illusion of three separate photographs works very well. They trick our eye into thinking we are looking at different images and that is the secret to the success of this photograph. So not actually a triptych in the truest sense but fun and clever and the images of the young girl are perfectly shot to add depth to the idea.
Is their a better subject for a triptych? Sometimes images present themselves but we need the ability and attention to detail to see them in the first place. This simple set allows the the real star to shine - the intricate and backlight coming through the stained glass. A classic waiting to be photographed and then enjoyed by us.
This works on so many levels. The clean lines that work throughout all three images. The arrows all pointing in the same direction then the clever part from the photographer. The light system. A clever idea well observed. Is it taken from the window of a car or the photographer placed by the roadside. Questions that just add that little bit extra when we look at these photographs.
A walk through a gallery. Stunning use of the strong colour red and the clean lines running throughout all the images. The use of the two people in the centre of the image gives the sense of scale needed to view these photographs and the skill by the photographer to wait for the right subject wearing the right coloured clothes to come into view. Well observed and effective work
A classic subject for a triptych and beautifully shot and seen. The strong bold colours add depth and the strong graphic quality to the work really draws the viewers attention. The lines are clean and run throughout the different photographs. Reminds me of the great photographer Ernst Hass. A colour pioneer.
