Red Saunders "Hidden" series of photographs depict historical events. Saunders has chosen events that are not so well known to the public, when talking about his new project he says " i recreate important moments in the long struggle of working people for democracy and social justice. History has been dominated by kings, queens, war and  "great men"".  The picture above "Leveller woman in the English revolution" 1647, 2011 focuses on women s activism during the 1642-1651 English war, a lesser known event in history. What makes Saunders work particularly interesting is that they reflect his own personal views. Saunders is a keen political activist and supports many campaigns ( he is a founding member of Rock against Racism) these images he has taken show people struggling with the politics of the time and fighting against them, they possibly show how Saunders feels about certain aspects if politics today.
    This image above is really interesting to me because of the structure of it, the composition appears to be rehearsed and is composed to guide the viewer around the image. I also really like the lighting because the fire suggests that the image is lit up with natural light, yet there is some artificial light as well and it creates a very dramatic atmosphere.
