The themes of chance, challenge and change are the title of which our current work is upon. The main photographer which we are looking at is Tom Pope, who uses these concepts within his photography. I think that the them of chance relies of the idea that when taking a photograph you are taking a chance with it, you have no idea whether the image is going to turn out how you want it to, or whether the image is not going to work. This is why in some of Tom Pope’s photography he uses a film camera which only has 12 takes, which means that when Tom is taking his images he has 12 chances to make the images that he wants, and if in those 12 chances he does not make the image, then he does not make the image. And i think by using this idea of chance it makes taking photographs quite exiting and can make a photographer become more adventurous with how they take their images. The idea of challenge i think is to do with when Tom is taking his images he like to challenge what people in society believe to be the norm in everyday life, he challenges this by doing things out of the ordinary and that are strange, not things that are illegal, however some people would believe it to be because they have never seen someone do such a thing before. By showing other people how Tom is challenging everyday norms in his photographs or videos that he makes he shows the people that are in the background to see their view on what he is doing, in this videos tom is completely silent and lets the viewer focus on what is happening in the images, and makes the focus on the people in the background who are either looking over or even some are asking questions. The idea of change in photography i think relates to the idea of challenge as it photographs or everyday people who are trying to change the opinions of viewers who are looking at the images/videos and questioning them and it is getting people to change and stop being so rigid on their views between what is right and what is wrong in society.
