This video shows the mass process in which it takes to set up an image by Tom Hunter. Tom hunter in the past has used items such as hackney gazette headings to inspire his set up images which appear to be in a documentary style.
Tom Hunter;
Many of Hunter's images re-create either real life situations or re-create the old scenes found in famous paintings in a modern day reality.
Jeff Walls photography looks to be documentary photography, capturing real life situations first hand. At a first glance without knowing anything about the photographer i believed he had genuinely managed to capture these hard to capture moments in real life situations on the streets. After research however i came to find that jeff wall uses every day or real life situations and re-creates them, using set ups and actors to create images that look as though they've genuinely been documented from real life.
