What is a personal study?
The goal of a personal study is to investigate, explore and challenge a particular area of interest. My personal study will need to reflect my opinions, ideas and creativity. It needs to include a written essay of 1000-3000 words and a photographic body of work of 250-500 photographs, plus, a number of final outcomes. From evaluating my previous project, I think I need to focus more on experimentation for this personal study in order to show my creativity. I also want to include letters, archive images and drawings from my grandfather’s life.
What artist movements can I include? What photographers should I include? Extra notes:
- Laia Abril
- Yury Toroptsov
- Philosophical articles
- Julian Germain
- Books- The photography reader, Basic Critical Theory for Photographers
- Final pieces- photo book, possibly a video, prints
