I just started my exam for my art A-Level and the topic for the Photography section is Anti Social.

I need to find some photographers who have used anti social as a theme in their photo's.. things like drinking, smoking, drugs, prostitution..etc.

I found one photographer, who I e-mailed to ask would he be willing to let me use some of his work for research and he refused, and was quite rude.

Im at a loss and research makes up 40% of my grade!

Any help would be VERY appreciated!

When I studied Photography theory and history we didn't need to get anyone's permission to use images. You do, however, need to acknowledge them and credit the images.

Is this anti-social in the hard strict sense? Or can it be a play on words/metaphorical?

This seem like the course of action to take JDT. Simply borrow the images and make reference to actual photographer who "owns" them. :)

When ever i did an art project i always liked to put as big a spin on the title as i could, i'd recommend not sticking with the standard 'anti social' ideas. I agree with everyone else about the pictures. Just use them and credit the guy.
 
Noboyushi Araki has done lots of photography on prostitution if that can work...(WARNING: many images are not work safe in goole image search)

Wiki

May be a bit much though :eek:

I agree with the thinking outside the box thing, that's what I'm doing for my GCSE art at the moment...I hope.
 
Err, sorry i tried to take some shots in the crackhouse today but the doorman smashed my camera.:confused:
I didn't sell it, swear. He smashed it so I threw it away. can i borrow some money? *twitch I need a new camera. reaally. I can pay you back on Saturday.*twitch
