For this project I have been asked to take five pictures a week for six weeks with a different concept each week.
Week 1: Land
For week one I have chosen to use land as the main theme. I am going to take some images of the cliffs, fields and the sea around cornwall. I will be using a Canon 400d digital camera to take these photos. I have a few ideas from this website: http://www.areoffphotography.com/
Week 2: Work
Week 2: Work
For the second week of the project I am going to shoot a 35mm black and white film. I am going to take 5 enviromental portraits of people in there work space or enviroment. I have looked at some of Arnold Newman's images on his website,http://www.arnoldnewmanarchive.com/ for some inspiration and ideas.
Week 3: People
Week 3: People
For week 3 my concept is people, I have chosen to take some images of my friends and people that I am familiar with. I got the idea from Diane Arbus's work as she often used to take pictures of her friends. For these images, I have decided to use an 'everyday' digital camera as I think it just adds to the style of the images.
This week I have chosen to take some images of surfers and waves at St.Agnes beach. I wanted to do this for colour so I could show the different shades of the sea, waves and cliffs. I really like Clark Little's images of the ocean and surfers: http://www.clarklittlephotography.com/ . I am going to be using a Canon 450d with a 70-300mm lens.
Week 5: Black & White
For the concept of black and white, I have taken some images on a recent trip to Penzance, Cornwall. I wanted to explore the town and capture things that are seen in everyday life but usually not noticed. I have gathered some ideas from books in the library.
Week 6: Studio
For the last week of the project I am in the studio and will be using the Canon 40d. I am going to take some long exposure portraits using torches to capture light. I will be using a low key lighting set up and two of my friends as models. I am going to try and relate my images to this photograph: http://www.edwud.com/2007/10/29/sparkler-pattern/
